Frog Douglas B-26B Invader, 1/122, 385P
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
$60
From about 1957. Rare first logo Frog kit in a small scale. Molded in silver and clear with all recessed panel lines, full decals and correct early display stand. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. 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 manufacturers 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.

Goldberg was a highly accomplished modeler with articles in Model Airplane News and famous designs that won him several National level competitions in the 1930s and beyond. (Carl Goldberg went on to found his own company and produced well designed and popular free-flight and RC aircraft). Comet survived the post World War economic slump and continued kit production until they were bought out by long-time competitor Guillow's in 1998.

Sterling Zero A6M3 Model 32 Hamp Drops Belly Tank In Flight - 24 Inch Wingspan for Free Flight or R/C, A15
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Fair+
$30
24 inch wingspan kit for RC, free flight or control line. Includes innovative system for automatically dropping the centerline belly tank in flight, color decals in amazing 'near mint' condition, high-grade die-cut balsa, vacuform plastic detail parts, clear vacuform canopy (that is in mint condition and not yellowed), plastic wheels, finished wire landing gear, rubber motor, plastic propeller and more. The kit has never been started. The small parts are still sealed in the original Sterling bag; all other balsa, plastic and metal parts with tissue and decals is present but NOTE: missing full size plans. These plans are available on line and if you cannot find them, I can provide the purchaser with a link. Sterling was a famous manufacturer dating back to the 1930/40s flying model craze. Although they continued to produce kits for decades after the flying model slump following World War II, they eventually fell victim to the general lack of interest in modeling that occurred in the early 1980s. I always considered Sterling kits to be deluxe kits as they included the action features and were much easier to build than other makes.
Revell PT-212 Torpedo Boat, 1/98, 85-0464
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+

2008 reissue from the original molds. Full hull model that is 9 inches long with torpedoes, 20mm and 50 caliber guns and 3 crew figures. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. And thank you for the following data from Jim Pearsall IPMS 2209 and Steve Payne IPMS 47035: PT boats were not commissioned individually, but were commissioned in squadrons of 12 to 16 boats. Squadrons generally had all the same type boat. PT-212 was assigned to MTBRON 15, which was commissioned in January 1943 and included PTs 201 through 218 and sent to the Mediterranean with these 78-foot Higgens boats. MTBRON 15 was active in Africa, Sicily, Capri and Italy. The RON was decommissioned in October of 1944. To place this in historical perspective, this period of WW II in the Mediterranean included the invasions of Sicily, Italy, Anzio and the South of France.
