Just a little point these are apparently worth between £45 to £160 depending on condition and packaging, but must be the first 3 series packaging (like mine) as the fourth season one’s are not worth a lot apparently.
Oddly contrailjj i bought this one on e bay from canada not from you was it ?

They’re only ‘worth’ what anyone is prepared to pay for them! Since E.Bay started, so-called ‘rare’ kits have been coming out of attics in droves and a kit you thought was ‘rare’ a few years ago has now depreciated in price, simply because E.bay has proved people have been stashing these kits away for years and now they suddenly all emerge, with the owners all declaring ‘rarity’ and expecting to make mega-bucks. For example, pre-E.bay a Revell Fairey Rotodyne was priced at £125.00($300) at swapmeets and collector’s fairs. Now one pops up most weeks on E.Bay and can be as low as £9-£10 ($18-25)! If all these kits had been built, then the few left unbuilt would have indeed been ‘rare’. A ‘rare’ kit for me would be Aurora’s 1/8th scale jet pilot figure “Steve Canyon” or Kitmaster’s Fireball XL-5 that was sold as a promotion by Lyons Maid icecream in the early ’60s. Finding these kits unmade are like hen’s teeth and they will command a high price!
Now, I have just been up in the attic and taken these shots of ‘a small part’ of my kit collection…and to prove I do build them, one of the finished articles!
