Vintage LS Plastic Model Gun Kits Collection 👍🤩👍💖💖💖 

Those kits as a kid made me to collect real firearms when I grew up 😍 When compare them with the real ones they were quite accurate and yes with modern painting tech they would make great replicas although they will need lots of work and putty work due to shrinkage on surfaces. Even back then M-16 and AK47 kits were quite high priced ones but my friend had them and I was drooling! HaHa!! Thanks for watching and commenting and especially thanks for your sub. Much appreciate 😍 Cheers! D J

What the hell

Same here ,I had the M16 and whe I went to buy the AK47 (after saving my pocket money for months) it had sold and the modle shop said they stopped making them Hart broken to this day ,even tho I owned the real firearms and shot them ,still wish we could get these

LS was a great plastic model company not only in terms of gun kits but other genre models. Pity it went down. Some of their moulds were sold to other companies but never those gun kits... Of course now not many people will buy it being old fashioned plastic kit which require bond and paint to finish and there are many BB guns to choose from. Well, NZ is also hard to get those ones look like real gun. All were good old days gone by... Thanks for dropping by and commenting. Cheers! D J 😄

I felt a very british wave of melancholy from your comment. I feel your pain brother from across the pond. Interesting story, thank you.

If you can find them you can still get 1:1 scale replicas of the old cap and ball percussion revolvers, they aren’t covered by the current ban on replica firearms in the U.K. as far as I’m aware.

Hi, Bo, thanks for watching and commenting. It is great to know that my video took you back in time. All the memories of younger days building and painting these cool models kept me collecting these. Back in the days I also built and painted them. I painted in silver first then black sprayed over it then rubbed soft enough to remove black in the high edges to simulate wear and tear on metal then clear blue spray on top. Those were the fun days with no funny concept of PCs and so on. Thanks for the info on broomhandle 😊 It is my most favourite one in the collection. Thanks again and have a great one. Much appreciated!

I have quite a collection of completed models. I can’t find too many for sale.

I also displayed mine on a board back in the days. It was good fun collecting and building them 😄 The other company you mentioned might be Marui. Thanks for watching and commenting, cheers!

Hi, buddy! You had quite an arsenal😁 I could not have many as a kid so I got them after decades later just for the old time sake. After all, nostalgia and memories of childhood keeps me collecting old toys. Thanks for your kind words. Happy New Year to you and your family! Cheers! D J 🤓👍

@@MyToyMuseumDJ Lots of working for pocket money!! The AR was a Christmas present though. Love to get hold of some of these now but they are very hard to find.

@@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524 Wow! AR for Christmas! What a present! It is not impossible to find some but not many and very expensive... I will though keep looking 😁Hope to get lucky 😅👍

@@MyToyMuseumDJ Let me know if you find s spare unbuilt Walther P38. 🤞👍

@@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524 Will do my friend! I got mine from Japanese Yahoo Auction (about USD120 with shipping) with the help of my Japanse friend in 2016. I will look around for sure. Cheers!

Yes, those were the innocent days when the world was not as mad as now. These are pretty accurate when compared to the real ones side by side but lack of that feeling. However, as kit form preserved for decades they have their places in toy history. Thanks, mate for watching and commenting! 😁😁😁

@@MyToyMuseumDJ 100%, we gotta preserve that toy history!

@@ScottCrusher Amen to that! So many toys so little time (and money! HaHa!)

I used to collect them and in later years I started collecting real ones and found them very familiar and knew how they worked and how to disassemble and reassemble them purely because of these kits i'd previously built

Thanks so much friend for watching and commenting! Much appreciated~! 😁❤👍👍👍

Hello! Thanks for dropping by and for your comment. Luger also was my favourite and I bought and built a few and the variation too. Those were the days without PC BS and what not. Much appreciated buddy! 😄❤👍👍👍

Maybe you like cap guns and others which actually works not static model kits. Anyway those were the good old days when these kits were sold on the shelf. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated!

Well... Idiots have power and will to do such stupid things... Has it reduced any crime and killing?? They were not even firing models! Dang!

There are two type of plastic in LS kits. Standard and ABS plastic. You must use ABS glue where indicated in the manual. Super glue is not recommended for them. Normal plastic glue will not bond ABS plastic. Hope this helps. Cheers, D J

Love these vintage plastic kits and yes some are not PC and then again, I don't like unnecessary PC!😱😨😱

LS gun kits were great back in the days. Thanks for watching and commenting! Much appreciated. 😍🤓❤🙏🙏🙏

Not even a vintage plastic kit unbuilt? Since when? I think in the old days one could buy these kits at hobby shops in Canada too? 🙄🙄🙄

The feeling is mutual my friend! LS was a great model kit maker and it is a shame they gone bankrupt decades ago... May moulds were purchased by other companies but somehow these plastic model guns never seen the daylight since...

Bogy ;-D

@@TheQuirkyGarage1999 Hey, Hey now. 🤣🤣🤣

@@RedRoomDiecast u will stay Bogy forever :-D

Hey Bogy~ They are only plastic kits and toy guns are not covered by arms act 😁

A Japanese plastic model manufacturer LS who released plastic gun kit series in the later 70's to early 80's was extremely well designed with superb box arts. Because the company was bankrupt in 1992 some of their kit moulds were purchased by other companies but somehow gun (all non-firing scale model pistol and rifle kits alike) line did not continue anywhere. Perhaps due to the low market demand with possible reason that no one wants to build and paint old school gun kits anymore whereas there are tons of ready built and beautifully finished BB soft airguns and gas guns on the market. They are not easy to find even in Japan and can be very expensive. It is great that you have bought a few kits from LS. Apart from gun kits, kits such as grenades, military knives and so on, their molds were purchased by a Japanese company Arii among other plastic kits molds but that's about all. Hard to find any comprehensive website on the subject, just few bits and pieces scattered around the web even it is hard to find any in Japanese web.

Hum... At least back in 2018 I could find quite a few listings on eBay for LS model gun kits. Even now I see one listed in the US eBay. However, I know now it would not be possible to ship or receive such model kits via post let alone advertising them on many auction platforms thanks to too much PC. As a collector and model builder I would love to buy from you but I am not sure if such transaction be possible. Please email me - actiondj65@hotmail.com Thanks! D J

Thanks my friend! 👍💖👍

They used to be just cheap model kits back in the days...

Only on eBay or other auction sites maybe. Even in Japan they are like hen's teeth...

In the late 1970's Japan had stores that exclusively sold toy guns and kits like this.

I wish I had! Few years ago I was about to buy one but it didn't have the box so I ditched it... I think I should've though... Thanks for dropping by. Cheers! 😄

¡Hola amigo! Si la tuya tiene marca LS y es carabina de gas debe ser un modelo antiguo. Naturalmente, sería difícil encontrar información sobre él, ya que se fabricó en los años 90. Sin verlo no puedo decir más. ¿Puedes describirlo más detalladamente? 🤔

@@MyToyMuseumDJ si, tiene la Ls con el fondo rojo, y a lado hay una pegatina con la marca ASGK

@@argo163 Entonces es una vieja y si el estado es bueno es un coleccionable para los coleccionistas de pistolas de aire comprimido. Busqué en la Subasta Japonesa de Yahoo pero no puedo encontrar ninguna. Tales armas eran para jugar y hay nuevos modelos con nuevas tecnologías, por lo que las viejas se fueron y desaparecieron. Tokyo Marui es famoso y fabrica armas excelentes, incluidas pistolas eléctricas, y ahora hay muchos fabricantes taiwaneses que fabrican buenas armas. De todos modos, no conozco el estado del tuyo, pero debería ser bastante difícil de encontrar ahora. ¡Bonito mi amigo! 🥳

@@MyToyMuseumDJ gracias amigo, por cierto si, esta nueva, lo único un poco desgastado es la caja, pero la réplica esta con solo 3 disparos de prueba, si, nueva

@@argo163 ¡Bien en ti! Felicidades mi amigo~ ¡Mantenlo bien~! 😁

Mostly Japan - Yahoo auction and shops selling vintage plastic kits, some Europe - Germany, France and a few from the States ✨💖✨ I searched all over to get them 😎 Thanks for commenting and watching! Thanks buddy! 👍😄👍💖💛

@@MyToyMuseumDJ Man i want the colt/45 commander model, the 44 magnum hunting special. the 44 magnum 4inch barrel, remington new model army and navy revolver, and the .357 magnum colt python 6inch barrel. OMG i want those!

@@luisricardosantos2139 Those are wonderful models for sure!👍👍👍 Hope you will find them sooner! Cheers!

I would give my left arm for the Luger Parabellum.
