	Competition Models Inc Sal Taibi's Starduster - Gas Powered Free Flight Model VG++ Wood old			$75
	Large wingspan kit for .02 to .074 engines. This is one of the famous Sal Taibi's National award winning designs. Sal was one of the early 'Kings of Gas Free flight' and a very gifted designer. The model is from the 1950s. This model came from the estate of a very active and particular early aircraft kit collector. It is like factory-new inside and has not been started. Complete with all parts, plans and decals (if originally included). Designed for 'Sniffing Thermals', the honored pastime of a generation of model enthusiasts. Flying model aircraft predated powered flight; however, balsa wood and printwood were not introduced until the early 1930s and the hobby took off, as well as the hunt for thermals. Gas flight began in the early 1930s, and powered models (most all driven by Brown engines) took home so many awards that they were forever separated in competition from rubber powered models. Design of gas models was tricky since RC (radio control) models could not yet be applied to the mass market; so a gas model had to not only fly and climb under power, but then glide sufficiently - all in a stable fashion and without any operator inputs once the airplane took off.

	1/48 #H281-450 Revell F-102A Delta Dagger Large Scale - Japan Issue Good++ Injection Molded old			$225
	Great kit for the advanced Revell collectors. Rare 1960s Revell of Japan issue of the 'New Extra Large Scale Jet That Works!'. Has unique box art.

	Rare issue of just the M-2 Long Range Cannon. 1958 first issue hardbox with as new color and gloss and wonderful box artwork. Very highly detailed and well molded for the time; almost all parts of the gun work like the real prototype. 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.

	1/67 #H250-89 Revell Chance Vought F8U-1 Crusader 'S' Kit VG++ Injection Molded old			$110

	1/72 #G-4 Maircraft Erco Ercoupe - 'Little Gems' Series Scale Solid Wooden Aircraft Kit Exc++ Wood_Metal old			$42
	These kits are good candidates for the first line of 1/72 model aircraft produced in the USA. Although not as old as the Frog injection molded 1/72 scale kits, these solid wood and metal models were made in the late 1930s or 1940s to 1/6 inch scale - which is commonly known today as exactly 1/72 scale. Maircraft announced kits G-1 through G-6 with 'more to come', but it is likely that no others were produced as Maircraft was out of business by 1948. The highpoint of the Little Gems series was the plans and instructions. Wonderfully illustrated and written, they show step by step how to carve and contour the model and how to finish it. Includes excellent three view full size drawings and templates. The kit consists of balsa wood with printed outlines for all parts and a metal parts sheet with wheels and propeller. This kit has never been started and is complete with all parts and plans/instructions. Maircraft was originally founded in the early or mid 1930s by Gordon Christoph and went by the name Aircraft Model Company. The company produced a typical line of solid 'profile cut' kits that required the usual high talent levels for carving and finishing. A former Comet Model Airplane & Supply Co. salesman, Jack Mair, bought the company in the early 1940s and renamed it Maircraft. This company was one of the handful of solid kit producers who issued models in a consistent 1/48 scale during the 1930s and 1940s (others included Hawk and Dyna-Model), and eventually even made these 1/72 scale series 'Little Gems'.

	Early 1970s Aurora of Canada issue. Still the only 1/72 scale DC-9 and long out of production. Molded in white with the large black Aurora triangle base stand.
