Hi all!
I'm a novice about this topic so any info you may have would be appreciated. My father-in-law just passed away and left my mother-in-law with a bunch of WWII model kits. They are all in tact and none are opened however some of the boxes look old.

Does anyone know where I can find out what they are worth? Like a website or magazine or a dealer in Los Angeles county (CA)? I've searched the web high and low for info on some of these kits and can't find anything on them.

Some examples of the kits I have are made by : Tamiya, Revell ESCI, ESCI, Max, Zvezda, Supermodel/Squadron Product, Peerless, and Zilt.

Any info would be appreciated because we would like to sell these to someone who would appreciate them. Thanks!!

Do you have anything in 1/350 scale?

You need to get a hold of John Burns of the Kit Collectors Clearinghouse. John is in Oklahoma but he published value guides for model kits. I don't currently have his address handy.
Another way to determine value is to look at ebay. Just do a search and if you find items such as the ones you have just track the auction and see where they end.

Cheers,

80% airplane models are made in China.
