UPDATE 8/11/10
We're back from the IPMS NATS in Phoenix!  It was great to see some of our R-PD customers and meet new customers too!  We have pictures from the IPMS NATS show HERE. For those of you not able to attend the NATS last week we officially announced our purchase of Nostalgic Plastic nostalgicplastic.com, another online hobby store.  Along with gaining great customers from Nostalgic Plastic, we are now the Official U.S. Distributor of ANIGRAND & MINI-WING RESIN KITS.

Nostalgic Plastic

We are very excited about Anigrand & Mini-Wing as these companies produce high quality, limited-edition resin kits of hard-to-find aircraft. We will not make any major changes to either company in the short term. Since this opportunity happened quickly we will need time to determine how best to meet all of our customers needs. As always Rare-Plane Detective is focused on quality customer service.

There will be much more information to come.  Look for Rare-Plane Detective Plastigrams in your email if you're a subscriber.  If you'd like to subscribe to the R-PD Plastigram simply click here http://www.nostalgicplastic.com/homepage.cfm?sr=1

UPDATE 7/27/10
IMPORTANT R-PD Schedule Note!
R-PD (and Mrs. R-PD) are On-The-Road from July 29th - August 10th.  While we will be able to pull your orders and answer  emails and phone messages, orders received after Wednesday, July 28th can not be shipped until after August 10th, when we return from the IPMS Nats. We will be leaving on Thursday morning, July 29 on a secret mission that will be revealed to all at the IPMS Nationals. We will return to the Warehouse only to immediately pack up inventory and head to the IPMS Nats in Phoenix.  If you're going to the Nats - be sure to stop by our tables and say Hi - we love to meet and greet our customers!!


UPDATE 7/16/10
LOADS of kits added to the BARGAIN BOX page!!!  Save up to 50% and more from our already low prices.  It's time make some room in the warehouse for all the new inventory I've collected around the country; so why not pass along some additional savings onto modelers.




UPDATED 4/17/10
RETURNED HOME FROM A GREAT BUYING
(& SELLING) TRIP!
While on the road for shows on the East Coast,
we purchased several kit collections
and a HUGE stash of over 1100 decals.

Did you see the feature story on Rare-Plane Detective?


Australian writer David Wilson stopped by Las Vegas and visited the R-PD warehouse
twice to take pictures and interview head honcho Jeff Garrity.
(Looking at the pictures accompanying the story, it's hard to believe the photos were taken a year apart!
 Read the article and check out the picture gallery by clicking HERE!



What they're saying about R-PD on the "INTERNETS"...
"Rare Plane Detective is a must if you are in Vegas. Just give Jeff a call and you can arrange a time to go to his warehouse and look through his massive collection of models. You never know what you are going to find. And learn from my mistake, take an extra suitcase!!" - Lee, Canada


Jeff is hard at work bringing more of those hard-to-find items to the warehouse!
Jeff Garrity - Rare Plane Detective

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas... unless you buy it at the warehouse and take it home with you!  Our 2000 square foot AIR CONDITIONED (Yay!) warehouse is located in Las Vegas, NV, just a couple blocks west of The Strip. If you are going to be in the area and would like to stop in to shop the warehouse, e-mail or call us at 702-564-2851 to schedule your visit!
We look forward to having you stop in!
