SLEEPER ALERT #1 - 13 WNW kits for $40
« on: May 31, 2022, 01:53:57 AM »
Hey gang,

Here's an auction for THIRTEEN Wingnut Wings (and one CSM) model kits. Current bid is $40.  Alas, I don't build in this scale, so nothing for me...:

I went to watch over the last few days. I suppose $2000 is a "deal" if we consider the $200 per WNW that seems to be a common price point but the auction fees and shipping negates a lot of that. Lets not forget the very nice CSM N17's. I hope whoever got them really wanted them!! I did enjoy wandering around the kit category and seeing all the old kit box art I had forgotten.

I got in on the bidding on all four.  Didn't win any of them.  Right now, I can usually get the single seaters for between 100USD and 150USD on the secondary market in my part of the world.   Figuring in the fees and shipping, once this lot exceeded the 150 per kit, I bailed.  If the winner is here, well done!  They got a helluva collection!  I hope that same person won all four, builds them, and posts pictures on the forum.
