What is your "Holy Grail" of collecting.....

I'd give my eye teeth for an MOC Skylark with the Top Up. For clarity's sake, the model you desire should actually have been produced by somebody.

Chris - I don't have that on e, but I do have the Daimler Ambulance in a Modern Products box (well, most of it anyway). Many, many years ago I found this in a Nashville hobby shop for the princely sum of $1.50.

There are so many, but, given a lottery win, I'd say the MOC Barrellback

Nice. I'd even take mine in purple or lime green if I could get one.

I purchased one of them just last night- the Mikansue '38 Willys sedan kit.

Now I have to quit procrastinating and order the BRK Jeepster. Along with a WW II Jeep, that should make a nice three-some. Of course, first I will have the pleasure of building the kit.

Great find.

Great deal, also. Congratulations.

I was fortunate enough to win the bid on a well built Mikansue Willys a couple of years ago. That is really out of my focus area of large (primarily Cadillac) cars, but it is so plain and so unusual to see in stock form I had to have it. Mine is green with black fenders (not likely a correct color). Remember to check autocolorlibrary.com to select from the vast array of flashy colors available on 1938 Willys:).

What is the box like Harv? I have seen the MP Wolseley box and it is a delight! Unfortunately, the two boxes I have seen recently have not been in good condition.

Cheers Chris
