Now here's a thing I'm baffled at why the OOP Revell pilots fetch bonkers money (the average lately is £30-35). Virtually 99% of adult modellers (who could afford this) build on the ground uncrewed planes, usually with cockpit detail so are folks collecting as "investments?" I remember this with Revell 1/72 Hunters and Mig 21s where folk would pay silly money and then winced when Revell re-released them- I picked up a pile of the Raf Legends release for £8.99 each from an ebay vendor last April that have been steadily gracing buyers display cabinets. Now I'll put my hand up and admit to having this lot: But then again, I build 3-5 1/72s on commission every month, in flight and piloted so they're pretty essential for me...that said the most I paid was £14.99 and they came with an unstarted, boxless 1/72 Dambusters Lancaster that was sold off for well £100 so quite a good investment methinks. My days of picking these up at shows for a fiver may long be gone unless Revell re-releases them...😈r
