$34

The Penguin Hart was among the early pre-war releases by Frog.
Dime  Scale Flight
Allied Sport - 20 inch Wingspan Dime Scale Flying Airplane
NM   Wood   old

Scale Flight Model Company in Bloomington, Indiana, USA was dedicated to releasing authentic reproductions of the finest "Dime Scale" flying model (stick and tissue) kits from the 1930s/40s.

"Dime Scale" models are now a class flown in some competitions. Kit consists of contest grade printwood, contest quality strip wood, machine cut balsa propeller, the best Japanese tissue, wooden wheels, competition bushed nose plug, brass thrust washers, prop shaft, prop freewheeler, FAI rubber strip motor and a copy of a genuine dime scale plan that was used in the 1930s-1940s.

1932 - 1933 Model Airplane News - Seven Magazines
Paper_Cardstock   old
$45

Rare. Included are seven magazines of what is considered the father of all regular model airplane publications. One of the first things that you may notice is that the cover artwork is from Josef Kotula - later Jo Kotula, the Dean of Aviation art and illustrator of numerous Aurora box art compositions. The magazines themselves are full of modeling articles and many, many advertisements. These are incredibly historical and educational publications that point to the true beginnings of the hobby of model airplane building. The magazines are October 1932 (good), December 1932 (fair - missing front and back cover), May 1933 (excellent), August 1933 (vg++), October 1933 (exc), November 1933 (VG+) and December 1933 (Exc-). The magazines have not been marked in and have not been cut.

1915 Ford Model T - Highway Pioneers
Exc+   Injection Molded   old
$44

1960 issue molded in black plastic. The kit has never been started. Internal factory sealed bag or inventoried 100% complete including instructions. Before the 1950s 'model building' as a hobby did not even make the top 10 list of boy’s activities. Hobbies were nothing new to America in the 1930s/40s, but they were not mainstream. Shortly after the turn of the century, many dedicated modelers built flying or static airplanes, ship, train, automotive or other subjects. Basic kits existed, but the majority of these models were built from scratch, which demanded a high talent level developed from years of experience. That changed in the early 1950s. The phenomenon of the Revell/Gowland & Gowland ‘Highway Pioneers’ car kits was a significant mover in proving that model building as a hobby could have mass appeal, provided that the kits were easy enough to build and finish. They could be built in an hour after dinner and looked like the real car. The 'Highway Pioneers' series helped lead to the production of other subjects in plastic. The effect was revolutionary. By the early 1960s, 'model building' was the # 1 past time of American boys.

In some cases, the specific car and owner is on the box. The model includes rubber tires, brass plated parts, tax injection molded parts and clear parts.

1/8  #473-98  Aurora
The Black Knight of Nurnberg
NM   Injection Molded   old
$85

Classic and very popular Aurora USA knight kit from the original molds. This example is from the 1963 release. The box is in exceptional 'near mint' condition. The only flaw is light corner wear - the box is also free of all tape and price tags as well as tape and tag marks. Large 1/8 scale kit is molded gloss black and has the original white plume. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts, plume and excellent instructions. In the mid 1950s, Aurora bought three 'Knight' molds from Crown Plastics and issued them as K1, K2 and K3. These were the very first Aurora figure kits and they sported the 1956-only rectangular 'Northern Lights' logo with the correct 'Crown Line' logo inside it. The sales success of the Knight prompted Aurora to launch an entire line of figure kits. The knights themselves stayed in production long after many other figures were discontinued.
