Aurora 1914 Stutz Bearcat Old Timers, 1/16, 571-198
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
Sold
1961 first issue of Aurora's 'Super Detailed Museum Model with Plated Parts.' Done in a big 1/16 scale, this kit and the other 'Old Timers' in the series represented a significant leap forward in quality for Aurora. It builds up a rolling chassis with transaxle, suspension, exhaust and driveline detail and includes a detailed interior with separately molded instruments. Molded in gloss yellow, dark wood tan and with plated parts and real rubber tires. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes instructions. Aurora was renowned for turning a profit and for keeping expenses down. In researching new kit subjects, they came upon a forgotten jewel - the Hudson Miniatures line of 1/16 scale wooden kits. Hudson had discontinued this line due to lack of sales of wooden kits. But the Hudson models were second to none in quality, research and documentation. Aurora was quick to realize this and used the research and layout from these kits to create the subjects for this 'Old Timers' series. It is fortunate for us that they did, because in most cases this is the only injection molded kit of these rare and classic early automobiles.

Aurora 12 O'Clock High P-38 Lightning, 1/48, 346-130
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Exc++
Sold
Still factory sealed. Dated 1965 and the one and only hardbox issue from the tie-in promotion with Twentieth Century Fox Televisions smash hit "12 O'Clock High". Some of the most valuable models are linked to TV or movie promotions and the "12 O'Clock High" series from Aurora is no exception. This example is in investment-grade 'Sealed Excellent++' condition. The only flaws are a seal split on the left short side and very slight fading on that panel. Other kits in this series included the B-17, P-51, Me-109 and FW-190.

Aurora I-19 Submarine with Glen Seaplane, 1/275, 728
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed NM
Sold
1972 'Big A' issue. Still factory sealed and in investment-grade 'near mint' condition. This is a very nice kit from Aurora's later, improved efforts of the late 1960s/early 1970s. Aurora knew that the old 1950s molds were outclassed by the late 60s and cut a new series of molds including several ships, helos and subs. The result was high mold quality and very good details, as in this kit. Quality was so good that this was one of the few Aurora kits reissued by Monogram when the bought the Aurora molds.

United Rio Grande Southern Narrow Gauge HOn3 No. 20 4-6-0 Brass Locomotive With Tender, 1/87
Metal Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Sold
Beautiful brass locomotive and tender, hand-built in Japan by the famous United Scale Models. This one-owner model has been carefully stored (but not in the original box) and very lightly run judging from the slight wheel wear under magnification. The factory paint and all lettering & numbers are beautiful with great gloss and color, but there are a few small edge paint chips as shown (the chips confirm that both the locomotive and tender are brass). The chips are small and few, so they could be easily touched up. Some small details may have been painted by the owner; I say this because the very neatly painted white areas on the tender and the scale figures in the cab are not original. These are the only modifications I can find, and I believe them to be complete with no missing or broken parts; but please examine the photos for yourself. I have no narrow gauge track, so I am unable to test the locomotive, so it is sold "As Is." There is no paperwork present.
