I'm not much of a collector, but I'd love to have a set of old MPC kits . . . to build. Build them perfectly, to make up for the awful mess I made of the ones I built back in the 70s.
Not all of them. Just the oddballs (Martian Patrol, Lunar Patrol) and a representative sample of the others. |

Ditto. I've got a pretty decent start with the four I have. Three of the four were badly stored in the original boxes and two had damage from the bad storage. Not much of a decision to build them, and I think I did them justice. The decals are not in the best of shape, kinda yellowed. I'd like to finish them with the decals eventually, but that's a project for down the road.

I have a LOT of old MPC/AVI engines that I have been flying lately, without any problems. Granted, your A3-2s from the late 1960s are a few years older than mine. And I do agree, they smell much more than a new engine after firing. Lots more delay smoke too! I wasn't able to get them to ignite with the old MPC igniters though. Usually the pyrogen was broken off.
