	1/106 #121 Sanwa Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa 'Oscar' Exc++ Injection Molded old			$70
	Hard-to-find. Never started. Factory sealed bag or inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions.

	1/72 #392P Frog Mitsubishi Zero (A6M) Exc+++ Injection Molded old			$30
	Probably the 3rd issue of this kit - the first two issues were the post and pre-war 'Penguins'. Nicely molded with all recessed panel line detail. Includes glue capsule. Never started. Factory sealed bag or inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. NOTE: glue capsule is stuck to the extreme edge of the decals. Frog is considered the father of injection molded model kits. The Lines Brothers opened Frog in 1932, capitalizing on the fever caused by Lindberg's solo transatlantic flight. Almost overnight the western populations became 'Air-Minded', and anything aviation was in high demand. Frog created a quality line of stick and tissue rubber powered aircraft and gliders as well as innovative ready-to-fly rubber powered aircraft that required no assembly. The box even contained a built-in rubber motor winder and fuselage holder. Model airplane flight competitions were popular in Great Britain, and one category was 'Rise Off the Ground', or ROG. By changing this to 'Flies Right Off the Ground', the FROG name was born. In 1936 Frog created a line of injection molded plastic models, the first such kit line in the world (Hawk sold a line of injection molded aircraft models in 1934 but they were factory assembled and painted). Named 'Penguin' after the bird that does not fly, the kits were innovative beyond the means of production. At a time when models were simply built by wingspan, the Penguin line was a constant 1/72 scale. Furthermore, a large 1/72 Short S.30 Empire class flying boat contained a full interior and lights! A line of accessories such as AA guns, tractors, hanger, ambulance, sound locator, searchlights and lighting kits were quickly added to the line. WWII caused a pause in production. After the war the box color changed from silver to green, and Penguin kits were also marketed in the USA. Production ended in 1950. Frog quickly expanded and released the Red, Blue, Orange, Black, Green, Gold Token, Spin and Comet series as well as Trail Blazers and several others. It is noteworthy that while most manufactures in the 1940s/50 were making toy-like models, Frog attempted to make very realistic models. For example, 'detailing' kits with excessively large rivets was once very popular. Frog ignored this trend and continued to mold aircraft with fine panel lines and no rivets. As a result, Frog kits can be built into very realistic replicas. Production ended in the late 1970s, but Frog molds are still in use around the world.

	1/72 #01064 Airfix Focke-Wulf FW-190D - IV (Sturm)/JG3 Prenzlau Lt. Oscar Romm 92 Victories or 6th Staffel II Gruppe JG 26 Nordhorn 1945 Exc++ Injection Molded old			$18

	1/117 #295-50 Aurora North American F-107 Fighter Bomber Exc Injection Molded old			$79
	The Jo Kotula artwork on this hardbox issue is dated 1958, but the kit is later - note the oval Aurora logo with no sunburst and the 50 cent price extension. It is likely that this issue is early/mid 1960s and was the last US issue of this model. This kit has never been started. It is either still in the internally sealed factory bag or has been inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions.

	1/100 KVZ Tupolev Tu-154 Interflug Exc+++ Injection Molded old			$155

Features very large and colorful Interflug decals in excellent condition. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. KVZ was the logo used by this East German kit manufacture from 1969 to 1973. During this time, some fantastic Cold War kits were produced of Russian Airliners and Military Helicopters and Aircraft.

	1/270 #494-70 Aurora Boeing B-52 Stratofortress Exc+++ Injection Molded old			$95
	1961 issue hardbox with dramatic Jo Kotula artwork. Nicely molded small scale kit with full main landing gear, outrigger gear and aux gas tanks on the outboard wings. Molded in silver and clear with the clear 'Triangle World' stand. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. It is interesting to note that this kit is NOT a reissue of the Comet molds - this kit is original to Aurora. The Aurora kit is significantly larger that the Comet issue and varies in a great many details.

	1/72 #282-70 Aurora Piper Aztec C Fair+ Injection Molded old			$145
	1968 issue and still the only injection molded Aztec kit. After Aurora purchased the Comet molds, they reissued the Comet civil light aircraft line. It appears that Aurora may have been inspired by the Comet kits or sales of the reissues, and they produced several more new molds to add to the line. This Aztec is one of those kits. Since the kit was designed new, it has significantly more detail than the older Comet kits. Features all recessed panel lines, full interior with a sofa, four seats and instrument panel, optional position landing gear and rotating propellers. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including decals and instructions. NOTE: box is complete and solid but graded only 'fair' because the litho is lifting off the cardboard and their are dirt stains. The parts, instructions and decals are 'excellent'.

	1/72 #002-150 Grip Cessna 172 with Floats Good+ Injection Molded old			$26
	Very crisply molded. Features very fine recessed panel lines, complete cockpit and passenger interior and full color decals for N5414E including blue stripes for the fuselage and floats. This kit has not been started. The parts are still in the factory sealed bag with decals and instructions.

	1/48 #55A-69 Aurora Messerschmitt Me-109 (Bf-109) Blue Box Ends- Famous Fighters of All Nations NM- Injection Molded old			$325
	I believe this is the 4th edition of this kit, and the first issue with this Jim Cox boxart. Dates from the mid 1956 with small 'Aurora Line' rectangular logo and 'Famous Fighters of All Nations'. It is interesting that this issue did not carry the standard Aurora 'Northern Lights' logo for 1956 - perhaps it was designed at the end of 1955 and simply left that way. Correctly molded in metallic burgundy and clear with the correct rectangular clear stand. For this issue the factory changed the swastikas on the tail to iron crosses and decals as well. This kit has never been started. It is either still in the internally sealed factory bag or has been inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions.
