![]() Lockheed F-104A Starfighter NM Injection Molded old | |||
| Hard-to-find 1950s issue. The box has like-new color and gloss and is in exceptional 'near mint' condition. Comet made two F-104 kits - this is the larger scale one. Inside, the kit is like new and molded in gloss silver and clear. Includes the Comet Model Hobbycraft catalog mailer.

1/48 #33a-98 Aurora
![]() Lockheed F-90 - West Hempstead Issue Exc+ Injection Molded old | |||
| Fourth issue of the famous 1/48 F-90 Long Range Fighter. With the early and colorful 'Aurora Line' rectangular logo. Although not dated, the logo tells us this kit is from 1954/1955. Molded in gloss silver and clear, with landing gear and missiles and the modified rectangular 'Brooklyn' style two-piece stand. With the correct Tatem decals and instructions which are both in exceptional near mint condition. Even the original tissue paper is present. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including decals and instructions. When Aurora issued it's first two plastic kits, they were copies of the Hawk Model Company's F9F and F-90 fighters. The first Aurora issue was in the rather plain and very rare flip-top one-piece box with the kit molded in gray with no landing gear and missiles from the Brooklyn factory. The second issue was also from Brooklyn and molded in gray with no landing gear or missiles but was in the new two-piece hardbox. The third official issue is the West Hempstead issue and is molded in silver with landing gear and missiles ('Brooklyn Gray' issues of this kit are confirmed to exist). This kit is the fourth issue. | |||

After the war, Lindberg and Olsen had a strong hand in early United States injection molded kit development. Please see the article located on this website about early USA plastic kit manufactures. | |||
1/64 #682-89 Aurora
![]() 5000 Gallon Gasoline Trailer/Tanker and White 3000 Truck NM- Injection Molded old | |||

1/107 #397-198 Aurora
![]() Convair 990 Jet Mainliner Exc++ Injection Molded old | |||
| Very rare kit from 1962. First and only issue. This is the largest injection molded kit ever made of the very fast Convair 990 airliner. The box has as-new color and sheen with four solid corners and no repairs. There are no price tags, tape or price tag/tape marks. The only flaw is light edge wear. The model is molded in the correct white and clear plastic, with the large clear triangle display stand and full color United decals. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried 100% complete including all parts, decals and instructions. Decals and instructions are both flat with slight yellowing being the only flaw. NOTE: shipping insurance is required with this kit. The Convair 990 and its near sister 880 were very high performance airliners. Unfortunately they did not find favor with commercial operators. The commercial failure of the 990 caused Aurora to pull these molds from production shortly after the introduction of the kit. The 990 was a larger and faster (Mach .91) airliner than the 880, but it failed to meet it's range criteria for east to west crossings of the USA. As a result, only 37 were made. Interestingly enough, several 990s continued to be operated by private owners and NASA operated two for decades after the last one was phased out of commercial service. Only 65 880s were produced from 1959 to 1962. The aircraft was designed to be smaller and faster than the DC-8 and 707 - this market did not develop, however, and if it did it could have been served with less expensive designs. | |||
1/46 #371-259 Aurora
![]() Martin B-26D Marauder Exc++ Injection Molded old | |||
| 1961 issue of the popular kit. When Aurora moved to the West Hempstead plant, they planned a series of very large bombers. All kits released up to this time had been fairly small. Aurora's instincts were correct, and the B-26, B-25 and B-29 were a big sales success. The first issue box art was done by Jim Cox and was only used for about one year. This is the second issue box art and the more famous of the two. Note the 'Famous Fighters' in the oval Sunburst logo. Correctly molded in silver and clear and with the large, clear triangle base stand. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including decals and instructions. | |||
1/30 #521-79 Aurora
![]() 1920 Monroe Special Indianapolis 500 Winner Kit and Built - Up Exc++ Injection Molded old | |||
| Very rare. Includes a boxed kit and a partial built up. The kit is from ex-Best molds. Aurora purchased the Best molds for the Indianapolis 500 Winners and made one issue in 1958. Kit is molded in gloss blue with real rubber tires, spoke wheels and includes a crew of two and some interior detail. NOTE: the kit has been started. Someone assembled the sub-frames to the body and the steering wheel to the dash. However, they used Elmer's white glue, so the parts simply fell off. The remaining glue easily popped off the parts, leaving them with only slight to no wear. NOTE: includes all car parts and instructions but the top section of the brake handle and the decals are both missing. The front axle is missing one short end (that the wheel slides over), which can be replaced with a stock cylindrical part. The partial built up model is missing one rear brake drum and the steering wheel - other than that, it looks to be complete. Quality of assembly and paint is very good, and it is painted the correct green color with a red nose. | |||
1/72 #72259 Eastern Express

1/72 #162 Italeri

1/144 #14430 Minicraft
![]() Boeing B-52H Stratofortress with GMA-87A Skybolt / AGM-69 SRAM / AGM-28 Hound Dog / ADM-20 Quail Missiles - 'Paul Bunyan' Serial 0-00061 (ex-Crown) Exc Injection Molded old | |||
| From 1998. Hard to find model from high quality Crown molds. This is often considered the finest Cold-War model of the B-52 due to the large and varied weapons load. Excellent kit with all recessed panel line detail. Features all the missiles listed and 5 extra clear display stands for each. The Skybolt was a plan to deliver an ALBM (Air Launched Ballistic Missile) from a B-52 to greatly enhance it's survivability. Skybolt failed 5 of 6 initial tests, but finally was successful. However, the program was canceled due to the availability of the Polaris SLBM. Plans to equip the RAF Vulcan with Skybolt fell through and left with British with no modern nuclear force, causing them to adapt the Polaris SLBM and passing strategic nuclear capability from the RAF to the RN. AGM-28 Hound Dog was a sleek design to help B-52 penetrate thick SAM defenses. Hound Dog could use it's engines to help the B-52 during take off and then could be refueled from the B-52's tanks. This was an important point as the B-52 carried 2 of these missiles at 5 tons each. Hound Dog had a range of 200 to 500 miles (depending on launch height) at Mach 2.0 and an accuracy of one mile at those ranges. The warhead was 4 megatons. SRAM was a nuclear-armed short range missile carried in quantity of 20. SRAM was designed to blast holes in defenses in front of the B-52 and for the final target. Quail was a decoy that would mimic the B-52 with radar reflectors, infrared, radar repeaters and chaff decoys. Quail did reach operational status and operated on some Hound Dog-equipped B-52s. The kit has never been started. Internal factory sealed bag including decals and instructions. | |||
1/72 #91-53 Pro Scale
![]() Canadian Armed Forces Boeing 707-347C 'Air Transport Command' (RCAF Royal Canadian Air Force) VG++ Injection Molded old | |||
| Rare. Large 1/72 scale 707 with two large and colorful sheets of extensive Canadian Forces decals. These decals cover three different aircraft, -1, -2 and -3. The kit has never been started. Internal factory sealed bags including decals and instructions. | |||
1/72 #72018 High Planes
![]() Gloster E.28/39 'Whittle' Jet (E-28 / Pioneer) VG++ Multi_Media old | |||

1/72 #04628 Revell
![]() Lockheed P2V-7 / SP-2H Neptune - US Navy VP-21 'Black Jacks' NAS Brunswick Maine 1968 / SP-2H No. 320 Sq Royal Netherlands Navy Valkenburg 1973 VG Injection Molded old | |||

1/122 #H219-98 Revell
![]() DC-7 Flagship American Airlines One-Piece Stand Arm Pre -S Issue Good++ Injection Molded old | |||
| 1954/55 Pre-S issue with the fantastic artwork of a DC-7 at the moment just before touchdown. Please note, this is the true first issue with the one-piece plastic stand arm, separate wheel axles, main gear struts without holes and instructions that illustrate this. Both arrangements - the one piece stand arm and odd struts with separate axles - proved to be very weak designs. Few were made as Revell quickly corrected it. The second issue has the familiar two piece stand arm, axles modlded into the wheels and inserts for the axles on the main struts. Correctly molded in gloss silver and clear and a large, colorful decal sheet. The instructions have a large, detailed American Airlines route map on the back. Decals are excellent with no curl and very light yellowing. The instructions are intact but grade 'good' due to a stain in the middle. The instructions can be read fine through the stain, but it does distract from them. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including decals and instructions. The box appears better than 'Good++', but is graded as such because you can see stains at certain acute angles. | |||
#G-12 Monogram
![]() Speedee-Bilt Grumman F6F Hellcat Flying Scale Model Good++ Wood old | |||
| Early issue scale flying wooden rubber powered model from the early 1950s. Can be rubber, CO2 or small gas engine powered. Very nicely detailed pre-fabricated kit with completely finished parts, Monofoil wing, cut out fuselage, plastic cowl and prop, detailed instructions and plans and more. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete with instructions. NOTE: instructions are graded 'good'. Before there were plastic models, there were wooden aircraft kits. These usually came in two types - solid and stick and tissue. The solid models were static and usually contained a few blocks of balsa and sometimes a detail part or two. These 'Make Wood Blocks Look Like Plane' models required a very high level of skill in carving and finishing. The stick and tissue variety were slightly easier to build and provided the ultimate thrill - they could fly when complete with rubber power (and later with free-flight gas and eventually RC). They still required a great deal of skill, so manufactures sought ways to make model building more accessible to everyone. One idea was pre-carving and/or prefabrication. This raised prices, naturally. Many manufactures launched lines of 'easy' to build flying models but only Monogram succeeded in making an entire line at an affordable price that would actual fly. The original 'Speedee-Bilt' kits, such as this one, were in one-piece two-color boxes. In the early 1950s, shortly before plastic kits were available, Monogram changed to the 'hardbox' with a lithographic slick glued to the top as this kit. Speedee-Bilt kits contained die cut and pre painted wooden parts, completely formed airfoil wings, carved wheels and numerous plastic details like cowling, pilot, missiles, prop and more. Assembly was by detailed full size plans. | |||
