Just on a monthly browse through my local thrift store, and what do I come across...? A collection, a massive collection of model airplanes. Now, I have never owned anything more than a small, 20 dollar, snap together model. So, seeing these was an exciting opportunity to own something more. I was drawn to these models at first by their size. I was then held by their amazing detail and quality. Curious about the price, I turned it over and looked on the bottom of the stand. '$14.99, hmmm... not bad,' I thought. Especially considering that yesterday was 50% off day. But then I saw something above the price tag. Now, I am not an expert model collector as I said, but I do know a name when I see it. PACMIN USA. Needless to say, I am the proud owner of 20 or so beautiful models. (My favorite being the WestPac Stardust 737-300)
