Vintage Cessna 180 on Floats - Plastic Model

I am unloading junk onto Ebay. Thought some of the 180 guys might be interested in this new unopened 1950's Cessna 180 plastic model.

it can be found here, if you are.

Re: Vintage Cessna 180 on Floats - Plastic Model

I sure would like to bid. =P~ But I don't have any money.

I went to some antique shops in Boise last week. Spent over $100.00 on stuff. The antique mall in Boise had some really cool old antique toys in mint condition. But they wanted big bucks for them :cry:

Looked at some of the other items. Some cool stuff! If you still have some stuff later this next summer, I'll have to stop in and see what you have. I'm sure I'll be passing through a time or two.

I liked this part of your description of one of the items
propellers are gone (they are running), and the wheels are gone (they are retracted)

Re: Vintage Cessna 180 on Floats - Plastic Model

Wow, talk about flash backs. I had one of those way back when - 1965 or so? I remember that the doors opened and the cowl was removable exposing the engine. The only weird part was the prop came off with the cowl. Wish my Luscombe worked that way :D ). It also included the waving woman figure, clad in a bathing suit - careful with that paint brush - va va voom! Thanks for the memories.

Re: Vintage Cessna 180 on Floats - Plastic Model

I bought that same model kit on Ebay a couple of years ago. Added an extra rear window. My painting skills need work.

Re: Vintage Cessna 180 on Floats - Plastic Model

I have a vintage kit of a 180 on wheels. I was gonna build it to match Mush's 180 then he sold it. Now I'm just holding onto it in case I ever buy one for myself..haha.

Can't believe you are unloading a MinnieMo. You must have a lot of spares
