	Megow Luscombe Phantom 8 inch Wingspan Balsa Solid Airplane Model VG+++ Wood old			$38
	Rare solid model from the 1930s. Don Luscombe was a designer for Monocoupe, where he made an excellent name for himself. Don dreamed of producing a all-metal monoplane of low cost for civil aviation, so he left Monocoupe and in 1933 founded Luscombe aircraft. His first design was the Phantom or Model 1. This Megow kit is part of the constant 8 inch wingspan series of model. It includes balsa for the fuselage, printed balsa for all other parts, turned wheels, bamboo, silver paint in a cork-sealed glass vial and scale drawings (including insignia) with instructions. The kit has not been started and is complete.

	1/37 Construct-A-Plane Aeronca C-2 Monoplane Balsa Aircraft Model Fair Wood old			$44
	Rare kit from the very early 1930s. The Aeronca C-2 was the first light aircraft in the United States. It was the first such aircraft to be certified by the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Aeronautics. The aircraft created an audience of pilots that did not previously exist - private individuals. For the first time, they had an affordable, easy to fly and safe aircraft. They were produced from 1929 through 1932 and sold for just under $1300. Kit is near 1/32 scale. Contains excellent full-size plans, balsa wood for fuselage and wings, printed balsa for all other parts, original yellow and red glass paint vials with cork seals, turned wheels, cast metal prop, insignia, sandpaper and celluloid. The wings have been very neatly started. No other assembly. Complete with all parts except the original glue.

	1/48 #05103 Airfix Mig-17F North Vietnamese Air Force Sealed NM Injection Molded old			$42
	Rare 1/48 Mig-17. Still factory sealed.

	1/48 #H281-200 Revell F-102A Delta Dagger Large Scale Working Model VG++ Injection Molded old			$275
	Hardbox is dated 1960. Unique large scale kit includes many operational features. Landing gear and flaps retract and extend when canopy is opened and closed. Removable detailed engine and movable control surfaces. Weapons bay opens to show AIM-4 Falcon missiles. Never started. 100% inventoried complete with all parts/decals and instructions present.

	1/48 #503 O-Lin Republic Seabee Amphibian VG++++ Injection Molded old			$145
	Very rare kit for the advanced collector. The Seabee was produced as a high performance sport amphibian. This is a very hard-to-fine original O-line kit in the small box and advertisement for O-line cement on the top. Produced in 1949 or just before. O-Lin (Olin) was founded by Paul Lindberg and a Mr. Olsen - hence the company name. Although a producer of flying models in the 1930s, O-line produced some of the earliest American injection molded kits in the late 1940s. In 1950 the partnership may have ended, because all branding was changed to Lindberg and Paul Lindberg. Inside, the kit is as new. It is molded in high gloss light gray and has the correct decals and instructions. The kit has never been started and is inventoried complete with all parts, instructions and decals.

	1/48 #507 O-Lin Ryan Navion / North American Aviation NA-143 VG+++ Injection Molded old			$165
	Very rare kit for the advanced collector. The Navion was originally produced by North American Aviation as a high performance sport plane, but they sold to the Air Force as well. North American sold the rights to Ryan, who continued to successfully produce the aircraft. This is a very hard to fine original O-line kit in the small box and advertisement for O-line cement on the top. Production first began in 1949 or just before. O-Lin (Olin) was founded by Paul Lindberg and a Mr. Olsen - hence the company name. Although a producer of flying models in the 1930s, O-line produced some of the earliest American injection molded kits in the late 1940s. In 1950 the partnership may have ended, because all branding was changed to Lindberg and Paul Lindberg. Inside, the kit is as new. It is molded in high gloss ivory. I have seen many cases where Paul Lindberg used up the old O-Lin stock, combining different sets of instructions and decals resulting in odd combinations. While I admire his efficiency, it makes does make collecting these unique. This model has the O-Lin box, O-Lin instructions, O-Lin ivory parts and the earliest 'Lindberg Products' decals dated 11/1952 on the back. The kit has never been started and is inventoried complete with all parts, instructions and decals.

	1/140 #702 Hawk Lockheed Constellation L-749 - One Piece 1948 Box Issue VG++ Injection Molded old			$175
	Very rare. This kit is from 1949, and even predates the Gowland & Gowland 'Highway Pioneers' that started the plastic model craze in the United States. Hawk was a producer of wooden kits (with with metal details) before and after WWII, and was one of the handful of manufactures to produce such kits (known as 'solids') in a consistent 1/48 scale. Hawk made aircraft, ship and train models in this fashion. The very first injection molded aircraft kits in the United States were made by Varney or Hawk in 1946, but they did not catch on quickly. Hawk was always an innovative and quality-driven company, and they took a gamble on injection molded kit well before they were popular. As early as 1946 they issued the 1/48 Curtiss R3C-1 with wheels. Like Varney's Fleet Sub and PT-17, they were shunned by hobby dealers. Hawk persisted with the 'Evolution of the Jet' gift set in 1948 and issued several kits - the Supermarine S6B, Gee-Bee, Howard Ike, Laird (all in acetate) and the F-84G and this Constellation (both in polystyrene). All were in the two-tone one-piece box. This model is molded in the correct glossy medium gray with a unique early stand. The model was issued with instructions but did not come with decals. The instructions tell you that '...the plane is molded in the proper base color, and if you intend to paint your favorite air-line markings be sure to use good enamel (not lacquer). The kit has never been started. The contents are either in the factory sealed bag or have been inventoried 100% complete with all parts and instructions.

	1/48 #707 Hawk Mig-15 NM Injection Molded old			$125
	Very rare early injection molded kit. This kit is from 1952, so it was made at the same time that the Gowland & Gowland 'Highway Pioneers' were released. Hawk was a producer of wooden kits (with with metal details) before and after WWII, and was one of the handful of manufactures to produce such kits (known as 'solids') in a consistent 1/48 scale. Hawk made aircraft, ship and train models in this fashion.

In 1949, they issued several kits - the Supermarine S6B, Gee-Bee, Howard Ike, F-84G and the Constellation. In 1952, the Mig-15 was release in 1/48. As with the previous kits, this is in the Hawk two-tone one-piece flip box. This model is molded in the correct glossy silver with a unique early stand. The box is in exceptional condition. The kit has never been started. The contents are either in the factory sealed bag or have been inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions.

	#502 Joe Ott Joe Ott Bild-A-Set 30 inch wingspan Douglas SBD Dauntless Dive Bomber - Balsa Wood Flying Model Airplane Kit Exc Wood old			$85
	Rare 30 inch wingspan kit dated 1944. The Joe Ott designed 'Bilt-A-Set' series was the height of the classic stick and tissue flying model kits- not just for the box art, but also for the contents. The large wingspan kits were the top of the Joe Ott line and had a price tag to match. They were out of reach of most children in the 1940s. Fewer were produced, which makes them harder to find today. In a time when most kits came only with white tissue, printed wood and plans, the Bilt-A-Set line box came chock full of parts and features like Assembly Line jigs for straight fuselage and nacelles, Speedlok Clamps, Die cut plywood or balsa parts sheet, die cut cardstock sheets, colored tissue, color printed national markings, clear window material, fully illustrated instructions and more. This kit has not been started. No parts have been removed from the sheets and it is 100% complete.
