Hey, I have a large scale VW oval/Split window model that I have had for years. When I bought it (at a garage sale) the guy had started to put the engine together (3 or 4 small pieces) I am wondering if anyone out there has any idea if models are worth anything and if so is it a good idea to leave them unbuilt for that purpose? I am kinda getting the itch to build it....

Dude, it's a frickin plastic model kit. You're not going to retire from the proceeds of that sale. Build it.

I'm guessing it's a 1:12 scale kit by Revell of Germany. Out of production, but not particularly rare. First issued in the late 80's, it was probably $75.00 CAD new. Once started, it's way devalued, and essentially, you're the kind of guy it would be worth anything to. Build it and enjoy it.
