Best guess would be between 120 and and 140 kits. I really need to pick up the pace as far as building them goes. Some of these kits are still in original shrink wrap and have their price tags. .75 cents for a kit, sure miss those days.

Re: Old model kits and box art

I think I only have two Frog kits, and they were fun kits. Heller put also put out some pretty nice kits.

Re: Old model kits and box art

Yeah I liked Heller, they used a softer plastic that was easier to work with.

They had a neat selection of kits too. I remember making their Fokker D.XXI, Blenheim Mk.I and La-5. They were all great kits.

Corgi has a nice looking Bf 109E that I would like to see done in some more paint schemes. Shoot same thing could be said for Gemini Aces and Dragon with the 109s they put out. More different paint schemes please.
