NIB Hotshot and partial built Hornet

[RagingHounds 8]

Bought a few vintage NIB kits.  These are the original 5847 hotshot and 5845 hornet kits.  
 

Hotshot is NIB. Opened, but everything is there.  
 

The hornet is partially built with all the parts.  I’m thinking the damage is done to the value of NIB and I should just finish it.  They built the gear box and then stopped.  Opened up almost all the blister boxes.  
 

Based on resale value, should I....

1. Finish it?

2. Leave it partial built.

Sounds good.  Hornet was my first car and it will look great on the shelve next to my late dads mint Rc10.
