My second offering will likely be this one. It is from 1961, the Monogram PA67 Phantom Mustang in 1/32 scale. (waits for applause to die back or the crickets to stop). I built this in the early -mid-60s and then at some point, shot it down with my trusty BB gun. I know, I know. Anyway, if it had been unopened, that is still in all the original packing, etc. I'd keep it as an artifact.
Proof from the box lid...notice the price! $4.98. Like a fool, I think I paid near $100 for it a couple of years ago.
It will be OOB, since it is molded in authentic colors!

Re: The Crew
That looks like fun Lyle. Minimal painting but watch out for those gluey fingerprints
Thanks,

Re: The Crew
I do remember seeing that kit in my youth years during the 70s. Shied away from it because I may have thought it's too "complicated" to build. LOL!

Re: The Crew
I've been wondering if UV glue wouldn't work well on the clear plastic.
Re: The Crew
I'd think it would. May have to dig mine out or get some fresh. Found it. The cap had come off somehow. It was on top of a small cabinet. Typical. Done wiping up the mess. Ordering some now.

Re: The Crew
Cool choice Lyle! I have one of those too, I won it from a one-hour build contest a couple decades ago. It's in some box somewhere....
