Palmer and Pyro Models

Hi
From Max's Models, another fine history lesson, on two of the smaller American firms, Palmer and Pyro. They made a strange mix of kits, some of which fit nicely on Moonbase. At 6:50 and again at 12:30 there is a set of small spacecraft toys that I am sure have appeared on Moonbase before, and a Tudor Rose X-400 Space Explorer. At 12:55 there is a set of movie monsters. They also did life-size anatomy kits, racing planes, figures, and firearms.

  1. Love this guy's voice.
    He should do professional TV documentaries on this stuff.
    Informative and engaging too.

    Thank you. Max is very good, and has done a number of kit company histories on both the big firms, and some of the smaller and lesser known outfits. Always interesting. He is currently doing a series on air racing, the aircraft, and the pilots. Max is a professional airline pilot, based in Florida.

    1. Yeh, I just watched some of his other videos, on UPC, Nichimo and ODK, three more of my fondly remembered kitmakers. This guys is a wealth of info!
