MAY/JUNE 2021 LIST YOUR TOP TEN KEEPERS----THE REST ARE WEEPERS Flight of the Phoenix is one of my all-time favorite movies. This 1966 classic, starring James Stewart, George Kennedy and Ernest Borgnine, is about a plane that encounters a sand storm, flies off course by 100 miles, then crash lands in the desert. The survivors are forced to take the remnants of the plane and rebuild it into a flyable craft before their meager water supply runs out. One of the passengers names the new-fangled plane “The Phoenix,” after a mythological bird that crashes and burns, then regenerates itself into a bird once again. The history of my model kit collections resembles that of a Phoenix. From 1971 to 1979, I amassed more than 200 built model kits, only to have more than 90 percent of them destroyed by our negligent cleaning service and my BB-gun happy brother. When I returned home from college in late 1977, only about a dozen builts survived. My second collection, painstakingly gathered one at a time from 1987 to 1997, had to be sold in April of 97 when I lost my job. With two young children and many bills to pay, I made the painful decision to run an ad in Scale Auto Enthusiast and sold all but one kit, an original MPC 1967 Charger. The remaining 225 kits went out the door. My die cast collection, consisting of all Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars, met the same fate. I only kept my favorite Matchbox car of all time, the Superfast VW Camper, plus a Matchbox BP gas station. By summer of 1997, I had started a fledgling part time operation selling model car and truck kits. By late summer, I started the very long and arduous process of building model kit collection number three. Some 24 years later, I am up to about 900 kits and 500 plus die cast. How sweet it is to look at all my goodies. Nothing lasts forever, though, and at some point everything will leave my possession and move on to another owner. So, what would I do if forced to sell all my stuff again? That’s a really scary scenario, so I thought why totally break my heart and dump the whole load? How about a hypothetical situation where I would be able to keep my favorite ten kits, but be forced to sell the rest? Heartbreaking, of course, but not all would be lost. I sat with pen and paper in hand for quite some time pondering what ten kits would I keep and why. It was actually quite agonizing, but I finally made my list of top ten keepers, leaving the rest as ones I would have to part with and weep over. Here it goes: AMT 1965 Ford Fairlane Kit T310-200 This isn’t the original issue, which I also dearly love, but an even rarer second issue with different box art. This kit is at the top of my list because Dad owned a 65 Fairlane wagon, which was his favorite car and mine. It was a beautiful dark blue green with the 289 2-V v8 engine. Remarkably, I wasn’t aware a model kit had been made of this car until the late 80’s. Weeper Fairlanes-I have the original issue of this kit, plus an original of the 65 modified and a sand beige promo. It would suck to have to dump these Fairlanes, but with a limit of ten keepers they must go. R and R Resins 1965 Fairlane wagon kit This is the only toy/model kit I’ve seen of a 65 Fairlane wagon. When I found out it was available about 20 years ago, I put it a call to Ray Parsons at R and R and reserved a copy. Ray has since passed, but he used to visit Fred’s Model World occasionally on buying trips and on one visit dropped off the Fairlane wagon. I never built the kit and it hasn’t seen the light of day in 20 years. MPC 1972 Grand Prix I fell in love with this kit when I saw it on the shelf in 1972. It was molded in a beautiful dark brown metallic color, had all sorts of accessories, and built into a nice stock issue. I built mine stock, just painting the interior flat black. I can’t explain why, but I sold this built in 1997 due to missing several parts I didn’t think I could find. Some five years later, I bought a mint sealed one and fell in love all over again Weeper Grand Prix kits-I have the 1969, 1970, 1971, snap 1970 and an incredible black over gold super rare 1972 promo that’s a real stunner. It would be terribly depressing to have to move all the GP’s, but decisions must be made and this one hurts. MPC 1973 Caprice Here’s another holy grail kit for sure. This is another of MPC’s great ones molded in a slightly lighter shade of brown gold than the Grand Prix. I admired the 1 to 1 car, which came standard with automatic tranny, power steering, power brakes and a 350 v-8. I lost count of how many of these cars I saw in the 70’s, but it was certainly popular. The kit was darn good too. I built mine stock, unpainted, and built the cool trailer that came with the kit. I threw my built unpainted 73 Vette on the trailer for a decent looking race combo. I can’t recall what happened with either kit, but it took me until about 2000 to get a mint unbuilt one back. Amen! Weeper and sobbing Caprice collection This one hurts so bad. Out the door goes my MPC Mild and Wild 71 Caprice, the wonderful 72 molded in blue, and my original 75 and 76 kits. Also saying adios are the 74 and 75 promos I have in this body style. MPC 74 Caprice You’ll note I said nothing about a 74 Caprice in the above bye-bye kits. That’s because the 74 Caprice, with its terrific all American red, white and blue box art is too hard to part with. I actually like the 74 design a bit better because of the front-end restyle too, and I just can’t bear to let it go. I never had one as a kid, but glad I have one as a guy. More Caprice weepers I also didn’t mention the built models I have of Caprices, notably the 71, 72 and 73’s, also nicely built and unpainted. The decision of would I rather keep unbuilt or built versions of each kit is rather difficult, but in the end I’m a sucker for box art, so the builts must go. And I must get out my Buffalo Sabres crying towel. Yet another Caprice keeper—the last one, I promise. I have about 50 resin kits in my collection, most are mint unbuilt and rare. One of the few built ones is Modelhaus’s very desirable and hard to find 73 Caprice woody wagon. I built this one myself, painted it the factory cream yellow, but had pro builder and local buddy Jason apply the woodgrain finish and more details to the body. This one has been in a display case in my bedroom for almost 20 years. It ain’t going anywhere! More Chevy goners. I covered the 71-6 body style, but this doesn’t cover the rest of my bowtie big cars to get gone. These include my MPC 69 built with box, 68 MPC kit, 70 Bat Machine convertible, original 67 and 67 convertible kits, and 69 promo. I don’t even want to think about it! MPC 72 Vega The actual Vega was an incredible disappointment, but in kits there were plenty of fine specimens, notably the 72 annual kit. I had one as a kid and got it back about 20 years ago. This is a really cool kit with all sorts of options, including a Wankel rotary engine. No idea how that ended up in the kit, but give MPC credit for having the nuts to try it. I can’t recall how I built mine, but I believe that was the only Vega kit I built as a youth. It’s a keeper for good now, but…. Out go all my other Vega items Think about having to get rid of the MPC Malco Scrambler Vega, MPC’s Street Funny, MPC’s American Spirit pro stock kit, the 73 and 74 annuals, a few promos, plus Lindbergh’s quirky Vega Voomer snap kit and an itty bitty ho scale kit. The Scrambler really is a tough decision, due to its gold body and rarity, but the 72 gets the nod as a keeper since I had one in 1972. Bummer! Frog/AMT 67 Galaxy (Dan Gurney Riverside) kit Here’s one I never had as a kid, and only found out about in the late 90’s. I saw a pic of this kit in a history of Nascar model kits book, and had to have it. Unfortunately, the time frame from seeing the pic to having it took almost 25 years. That’s how hard it is to find this kit. So difficult, in fact, that I did a trade with long time Fred’s customer Claes in Sweden to get it in my hot little hands. I also received a Frog/AMT Cobra kit, which is now in my personal collection. Do a Goggle search of this kit and you’ll see how awesome the box art looks. Off to another Galaxy with these kits Out the door goes my 1968, 69 and 70 police car Galaxy kit, and on a related note a drop-dead mint 67 Fairlane, still factory sealed. Ugh. FYI I’m still looking for the AMT American version of the 67 Galaxy with the lovely red, white and blue box art. If I find that one, what will get sold off to keep it! MPC 73 Duster Model makers don’t build kits of every car and truck on the road. In fact, a lot of your daily drivers are never memorialized with a scale model. Such was the case with my first car, a 1973 Plymouth Valiant 4 door. Who would ever build a kit of a bread box on wheels anyway? This car had about as much sex appeal as a wet sponge, so I never really searched for a kit of it in the 70’s. But, one day I was checking out kits in the cramped last aisle of the Kay Bee Toy store at Eastern Hills Mall, when I spotted a kit that had the familiar front end of my Valiant. That kit turned out to be an MPC 73 Duster. The body style wasn’t much like the Valiant except for the front clip, dash and engine compartment. I was floored, muttered something eloquent like “Holy shit!” and snapped the kit up. I built it as something between stock and drag, painted the interior red, and threw it on the shelf. The Duster didn’t survive the carnage of the family/cleaning service wrecking crew, and when I returned to the hobby in 1987, I couldn’t find the kit for anything less than $100. I finally did find an original 1973 about 22 years ago, and it’s now a keeper. Too bad the rest of my Dusters are toast. Out goes my super rare Dodge Demon, MPC 74 and 75 Dusters, a newer 71 Duster with box art that looks like a Gold Duster, and a crapload of other Mopar kits. AMT 74 Javelin This kit is one of the few remaining builts from my original 70’s collection. I bought this model at Leader Drug Store in 1974, as I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for all of AMC’s quirky cars. Javelin kits have always been hard to find, as are AMX kits. I recall building my car close to stock, then brush painting it green for some reason. I wasn’t totally satisfied with the result, but I liked the finished model enough to put it on the shelf. The Javelin somehow has survived to this day. I dis assembled it 30 years ago, repainted it blue and put it on my shelf with my few other remaining originals. Wanting an unbuilt kit, I had to wait for awhile to find one with a collection I bought years ago. This kit is mint sealed and not leaving my possession. Too bad my Javelin and AMX promos have to go, along with several Javelin/AMX, Matador, Gremlin, Hornet and Ambassador kits. You’ll never see most of these kits again. I guess if I have to let my AMC’s go I won’t either. Imai 82-3 Mitsubishi Mirage (Dodge Colt) This is kind of an oddball kit and it took me from 1997 to late 2020 to find the Imai version, in St Petersburg, Russia of all places. The 80’s Dodge Colt is obviously not one I had as a kid in the 70’s, but I bought one from a small hobby shop in Buffalo in 1996. I seem to recall this Colt being a Tamiya kit, but there are no listings or pics of such a kit in any of my guides or using on line sources. I do recall it being blue on the cover and costing me $20. I also recall having to dump it with my other kits in spring 1997. I haven’t seen this exact kit again and beg you for help in identifying the kit I likely had. As you well know, I put a Fred’s Want List at the end of every catalog and have been doing so for 20 years. I’ve been able to find about 30 kits through the years from my wonderful customers, and the Colt was located through my friend Stanislav in Russia. Since it’s taken so long to find this kit, I simply can’t let it go. But all my cool and peculiar foreign kits must go, and many I’ve only ever seen once. Foreign kits represent quite a chunk of my collection, with most being Euro or Japanese kits. My train of thought is, if you’ve never seen this kit before keep it for yourself. Too bad my Colt will be on its own. There you have it, my hypothetical tale of woe. You can’t take it with you is a familiar saying, so when you go your kit collection will move on; maybe to family members, perhaps to modeling buddies, maybe to Fred’s, or sadly to strangers you never knew. I’d love to see your BKF (best kits forever) top ten. If I have enough room, I’ll publish a listing of all kits in a future newsletter. Until then, make sure the only way your kits ever leave is prying them from your cold dead fingers. FRED’S
