ccoyle Posted November 12, 2021 Share #1 Posted November 12, 2021 Hey, gang. One of the long-time members at Paper Modelers recently passed away, and another member is selling off his collection of ~800 printed kits. That's right -- 800 kits, and at significantly reduced prices compared to what you would normally spend. There is something there for everyone who might be looking to hoard a few extra models, or perhaps dip a toe into the card modeling waters: ships, planes, vehicles, and buildings. Lots of really good stuff -- check it out! http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/marketplace/48666-rjm-paper-model-estate-sale.html mtaylor, VTHokiEE, Baker and 6 others 5 4 Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

ccoyle Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share #9 Posted December 1, 2021 BTW, this sale is still in full swing. Greg picked up a second truckload of kits from the estate, and there is literally something for everybody. The ship listings alone fill 24 handwritten pages and include many of Shipyard's 1/96 sailing ship kits, plus stuff from HMV, WMV, Oriel, and others. Greg is a totally legitimate seller -- I have transacted with him in the past, and I received my first set of kits from this sale last week. I just ordered a set from batch #2 as well. Be sure to check it out if you have any interest in card models at all! mtaylor, thibaultron, Canute and 2 others 5 Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

EricWilliamMarshall Posted December 2, 2021 Share #12 Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) Funny that. I thought all the models I ordered were older ships and in my excitement I didn't check kit maker & model. Lesson learned, folks reuse names for ships. On the other hand, it is interesting to see what the same and different in the different models and scales. So, I'm happy nonetheless. As you can see, Greg was able to get them to me intact!

ccoyle Posted December 8, 2021 Author Share #16 Posted December 8, 2021 Okay, here are the goodies I received-- second batch arrived today. For those of you who were too slow with your wallets, these serve as examples of what you could have had. 😁 But don't worry -- there's still plenty of stuff left. Okay, since this is a ship modeling forum, I'll start with the ships. I picked up two kits from Paper Shipwright, the steamship SS Shieldhall and the turret ship Huascar. Shieldhall is preserved as a working maritime heritage ship; Huascar served in both the Chilean and Peruvian navies and can be depicted as she appeared in either service. I also picked up the pilot ship Ditmar Koel from HMV. Most of what I ordered are aircraft. I snagged three early Kartonowa Kolekcja kits (the publisher of my current project, a DH.82A Tiger Moth): a Fokker D.VII in the markings of Ernst Udet's personal mount, a Mitsubishi A6M2 that depicts the aircraft that struck and sank the escort carrier St. Lo in 1944 (first ship sunk by a kamikaze),and a Nieuport 11c that can be built in one of three versions including one that depicts an aircraft of the Lafayette Escadrille. And now for the good stuff. I got hold of no less than nine Halinski kits: a Messerschmitt Bf-109E-4/N flown by Adolf Galland (printed on glossy stock, which I wasn't aware of and which I don't care for), a Curtiss P-40E in Flying Tiger markings, and the Bf-109F-4 flown by Hans-Joachim Marseille . . . . . . a North American P-51D (John Meyers' Petie 2nd), a Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate (code name "Frank"), and an RAF Mustang III . . . . . . a Yakovlev Yak-1b ("Jak" in Polish), a Bf-109E-4 flown by Walter Oesau, and a Supermarine Spitfire Mk. Vb Tropical that can be built in either RAF or USAAF markings. Three of the Halinski kits came with laser-cut frames -- a sweet bonus. Finally, a Fiat G.50 Freccia published by Answer. The desert camo on this model is done very nicely and will complement my Fiat CR.42 (built) that was likewise published by Answer. So, lots of good stuff. Am I happy with my new acquisitions? Why, yes, yes I am. 😁 Now go and get yourselves something! BenD, Ryland Craze, EricWilliamMarshall and 3 others 6 Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.
