Revell Destroyer USS The Sullivans - Early Fletcher Class DD-537 - Pre 'S' Issue, 1/301, H305-129

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good++

$79   

1954 Pre-'S' release and among Revell's very earliest ship models. This issue is the 'all gun' version of the Fletcher with the maximum main armament; Revell soon modified the molds to represent the later ships of the class. This is an excellent full hull model for that time and features separately molded superstructure, main, 40mm and 20mm guns, ships boats, gun directors, search lights and more. The kit has never been started. Inventoried and it is 100% complete with all parts, color flag sheet, decals and instructions.

UPC M-40 155mm Self-Propelled Gun - (ex Adams), 1/40, 2151-200

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good

$65   

Universal Powermaster reissue of the 1957 Adams 'Action Model' that is amazingly well detailed for that time. Features rotating, elevating and recoiling gun, working track and hatches, hinged platform that opens and closes, working extension ramp, crew and much more. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bag and includes decals and instructions. This kit has a fascinating history. After Adams became disillusioned with plastic model kit production (perhaps partially due to Revell's founder), they sold most if not all of the molds to Athearn, the famous craftsman train kit manufacturer. Athearn reissued many of the kits under the SNAP name, which caused a great deal of confusion. Many thought they were snap-together kits; they couldn't have been more wrong. Athearn did a simple modification to each mold; where it would say ADAMS (usually on a part or area that did not show), they machined that away and put the SNAP logo. At some point Athearn stopped production and eventually sold the molds. However, during this time in the 1960s, UPC decided to reissue many of these kits. Evidently Athearn did the molding or a job shop did, while UPC produced their own boxes, instructions and decals. UPC stood for Universal Powermaster Corporation which was based out of New York City, NY. UPC did not cut their own molds, but bought kits already molded from other manufacturers (many in Japan) and re-boxed the kits in the USA. Scott Eidson, the famous artist best known for his artwork with Revell, also did UPC box art in the 1960s. All UPC production ended in the 1970s.

Revell P&O SS Oriana Ocean Liner, 1/493, H376-298

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG

$129   

This is a 2006 reissue of the original 1961 kit. The model is 20 inches long, full hull and well detailed. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. The Oriana was a very famous P&O Orient Liner. In December 1962, in fog off San Diego, Oriana collided with CV-33 USS Kearsarge, causing considerable damage to both vessels. A claims court found Oriana's captain had been steaming too fast for conditions. Afterwards, the CV was good-naturedly nicknamed "The Mighty Kay-runch."
