Default Fantastic Transroc / Camroc Find

I recently turned up a boxful from the 60-70s. The deeper I dug, the better it got.
Not to mention sealed kits like a Farside X, Alpha III , Centuri Tomahawk to name a few, were these incredible Transrocs and accessories. There were 2 Transrocs, 2 Microphone and one Spin Rate Accessories.I already traded the built Transroc, but kept the rest. There were 2 sealed Camrocs and one Built one. The box contained stuff I’ve never seen. I will entertain trade offers. Still, just fun to share in great finds....

That's quite a find.
Did you just forget about this box over the years ?

Nice find Danny! Those Camrocs look like they just came off the assembly line ready to hang up on a hobby shop's pegboard.

They spent some 45 years in a box. The felt inside is all messy like they do,, which is common,,, but still makes ya kinda mad. Still, that’s usually the case with them….Like melted tar, etc.

I haven’t considered letting it go,,, it’s a Very Long awaited kit. But I do have the yellow Damon Hangtag one. It has Green gradient instructions. Still a K kit. Only interested in trade offers. Again I need Centuri Tomahawk, Arcon Astrobee/Aerobee 350……
Do you want only the one in pic, or Any Ranger ? Here’s a pic……
Please understand, I either have or have had every old kit made many times over. The Centuri kits are the only kits I’m currently seeking

Wow . . .

What an incredible collection . . .

I imagine that your workshop looks like the warehouse from the end of "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" - LOL !

How long have you been collecting for ?

Do you have a list of all the kits you currently have ?
