Vintage Kit Collection

*My Kit Collection*
Throughout the years, I have collected a number of vintage and recent RC kits, Control Line kits and Rubber Power kits. These are mostly kits of which I could only dream when I was young and when I didn't have the money to acquire them... The great names of aeromodelling were Svenson, Goldberg, Sig, Top Flite and Graupner along with WIK, Pica and many others. The kits in my possession and shown below are all unassembled. They are normally not for sale but perhaps if you're really interested and you give me an offer I really can't resist...

Svenson
This is a tribute to the Belgian made Svenson kits. Svenson had a good reputation and was our national pride. They had some very nice designs, see below...

Goldberg
Carl Goldberg made some beautiful designs. How can one not like the graceful lines of the Falcon, Skylark and Skylane series? Sadly, their later Sky Tiger and Eaglet series were not as nice anymore.
