Testors 1/48 Scale C-130

[Myke]

ATTENTION ALL NERD HERDERS

I'm looking for that old (1985 I believe) Testors 1/48 Scale C-130 monster. I've seen it pop up on ebay here and there but now I have the cash put away for it.

C'mon someone out there has to have one of these..., or at least a lead on one.

No 1/2 built kits either. Parts in the bags and accounted for.

There's also this one:

I buy kits from these guys all the time and they are just as good as Sprue Brothers in service.

Thanks BlackSheep

I know they are pretty much the same kit but it's a nostalgia thing for me

I see those pop up on eBay all the time. Be warned, when they do pop up, they are not cheap!

 

[Myke]

If you ever spy one on eBay or anywhere else shoot me a message. Not concerned with the price. I know I'm going to pay out the nose at this point.

Thanks man!

Blacksheep, I use phils all the time. Great place to deal with

Dude! You are amazing. Thanks a million.
I'm going after it, wish me luck, and don't be driving up the price haha.

 

[Black Sheep 1]

Ah no problem.
Good,luck!

 

[Black Sheep 1]

Myke, how did you do with the auction?
Did you get it?

 

[Myke]

Sadly I did not :'(

I lost track of the end time and got busy doing something else, and lost it in the last min.

I shall keep looking though. Thanks bud!

 

[Black Sheep 1]

Bid has been placed. Thanks again for looking out! This one looks to be in much better condition too!
Got my ebay mobile app with alarms set on three different apps.

This one WILL be mine!!!!!!

Thanks again Blacksheep, you my friend... are awesome!

 

[Black Sheep 1]

Lol.... no problem my friend.
I hope you get it this time.

Good luck.

Cool kit. I've flown in one of those when I was a kid.

 

[Myke]

Looks like it's going to be a good ole bank account battle between me and one other person.

Scott: I am jealous.

I grew up around them at the base my pops was working out of but never got to go up in one.

 

[Black Sheep 1]

Interestingly enough, you're battling the same guy from the previous auction.

 

[Myke]

I noticed that too. He was battling me on the PE set a couple weeks again as well. Weird.

 

[ShutterAce]

Is it the same seller? Maybe he's playing you....

I could have bought one of these at a show here in Colorado 2 years ago for $40.00. Had I only known.... :

 

[Black Sheep 1]

No it's not the same seller.
But the same buyer that's bidding against Myke.
The seller is a totally different person (at least it's a different name with different ratings).
