Re: Thrifting for models
My wife finds kits for me at antique and consignment stores. Most don't have any idea what they're worth, assuming everything's in in the box.
Building a kit from your stash is like cutting the head off a Hydra, two more take it’s place.

Re: Thrifting for models
Yeah I agree. My sister told me she saw a couple airplane model kits in her local thrift store. She texted me immediately and asked if I’m interested. Since she is well versed in knowing if a kit is complete, she will check the contents. Apparently, this kit was partially started. I told no thanks.

Silly boy... you can still get it. Ya just to know how to work your way around it. Have your sister or a friend get it for you.

Re: Thrifting for models
Ahh yeah funny thing is... my work is 2 hours away from home, so there is NO way my siblings are coming all the way over to buy me something 
However, I did realize it is in the wrong section, so I bet no one will notice it.

Yeah, right. 4 hours of gas and dinner for two? Might as well fall on your sword and order a Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire from Sprue Bro!
