Hello folks,
I'm new to this world and only ever built myself a model when I was 14.

I found these models at a yard sale and snatched all of them for less than 20$, just because they looked cool.

Once back in the car I started looking online for them but couldn't find any relevant information.

These are Tomy models from 1974, ID #8501,2,3,4,8 1/87 scale.

I tried reverse image searching but it produced no results. The only one I got was from the original Japanese release from a Japanese blog, but nothing on the western release.

I only found already built models on ebay and other websites. Nothing with the box. No pictures of the boxes themselves.

I would like to sell them to someone that would enjoy them more than I do, but to do so I need to know more about these. I have no idea if they have any value. I have no idea if anyone is looking for them.

Could you please help me with this?

Thanks

EDIT: updated photos, may update them again once I get natural light

Be nice if you could post pictures of what is in the boxes. You'll generate more interest if folks can see what they're buying.

You are right, I just updated them. They are all still in their plastic bags inside the boxes with the instruction manual
