	Ideal Boeing Fighter (F4B-4) - Midget Craft 6 inch wingspan Solid Balsa Airplane Model VG Wood old			$38
	Very old 1932 issue from Ideal Aeroplane & Supply Company. Ideal was one of the first US model airplane producers, starting their business in 1911. During the early years of the Great Depression, Ideal switched to balsa wood and soon released a line of 'Six Inch Wingspread' solid scale models in a line called 'Ideal Midget-Craft'. Adds for this line can be seen in Model Airplane News and other major popular aircraft publications of the 1930s. The models included plans and the required wood and usually retailed for about 10 cents. This aircraft has been started, which in this case is good news. The fuselage from Ideal was simply wooden stock. The original builder has carved the fuselage very accurately and correctly to about 90% finished. No other work has been done and no other parts have been cut out of the printwood. The model is complete and would be easy to finish.

He has done the same quality of work to the upper wings and has carefully cut out the other parts. The model is complete and would be easy to finish.

	Guillows Guillows Air-Pro Folding Wing Glider Store Display and Balsa Wood Flying Gliders VG+ Wood old			$125
	Very rare complete dealer display and 5 unopened gliders. The Air-Pro was a late 1950s/early 1960s balsa and plastic glider that has folding wings. When launched with the equipped plastic/rubber band launcher, the wings fold and the Air-Pro zooms to about 50 feet high. At that point, the wings fold out for 'glides of hundreds of feet'. The box is in very good condition and has some internal repairs to stabilize it. These repairs are not visible with the gliders inside. The display Air-Pro is complete and in excellent condition - the empty packet for it remain in the box. In the box are 5 mint condition and sealed gliders. A fantastic piece for the advanced wooden flying model collector.

	1/50 #K-5908-F Kranich Modell-Bogen Aeroflot Tu-114 (Tu-95) Bear Paper_Cardstock old			$89
	This is a cardstock model dating from about 1960 and made in the former East Germany. The model is 1/50 scale or very close and makes a rather giant 36 inch + long civil Bear. The model is on good weight cardstock and has never been cut or even unstapled from the booklet. All parts are very nicely pre-colored including a metallic-like silver that looks very nice. All parts are numbered and assembly is by diagrams with numbers and locations. There are complete written instructions but they are in German. The cover has some tears and wear but the actual cardstock pages with the parts are excellent. The model has never been started and is complete.

	1/100 #424-2000 Nitto Boeing E-3A (EC-137D) AWACS (707) - KC-135 with Clear Cockpit and Engine Nacelles VG Injection Molded old			$145
	The model includes all parts to make a KC-135 tanker, E-3A, C-135 or civil 707. Window blocks are included for the three military versions and decals are included for the KC-135 and E-3A. Decals were not included by Nitto for the C-135 or 707. Clear windows are included if you wish to make an early turbo-jet powered 707. This kit contains four clear engine nacelles and a clear fuselage panel. The cockpit is very well detailed with five crew stations, yokes, instrument panel, side panels, bulkhead and radar transmitter. There are four internal jet engines included as well. Also includes optional position crew entry doors, optional position cargo door and cargo floor (for the C-135), detailed wheel wells and more.

	1/200 #P209-400 Pyro Portuguese Man-O-War Santa Catarina do Monte Sinai - Flagship of Vasco de Gama Exc Injection Molded old			$145
	Very rare Larger-scale hardbox issue from 1966. There are only two 15th century war carrack ships that have made into plastic models - this one and the Henri Grace a Dieu, also by Pyro. Pyro had a tendency to produce historically significant models regardless of the popularity. I am thankful today that Pyro made these kits, but in the long run this practice did not help them, and they eventually sold out their side of the kit business to Life-Like. The Portuguese carrack Santa Catarina do Monte Sinai was launched in 1520. She had the typical higher-castled construction and carried 140 cannons. In 1523 she was the flagship of the famous Vasco da Gama. The kit is well detailed and molded and included pre-formed ratlines and billowing sails. The model measures about 14-15 inches long when assembled. Never started. Factory sealed bag or inventoried 100% complete with all parts and instructions.

	1/144 #8560 Entex Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet United Airlines or Flying Tigers Airfreighter VG++ Injection Molded old			$89
	From high quality Nitto molds. Kit includes decals for both aircraft. Very well molded and detailed kit. Never started. Factory sealed bag or inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions.

	1/330 Ideal Ocean Liner SS America / Troop Ship USS West Point / S.S. Australis Wooden Ship Kit Fair Wood_Metal old			$750
	Very rare. Large wooden and metal kit builds to just over 26 inches long. This model is of the SS America Ocean Liner, which was designed by the famous naval architect William Francis Gibbs. She was laid down in 1938 and entered service on August 22 1940 as the flagship of the United States Lines. World War II interrupted her passenger service. The ship was active through the war. She narrowly escaped being sunk off Singapore during the Japanese invasion. After the war she resumed her North Atlantic route. The liner was the pride of the US Merchant fleet before the USS United States was commissioned. When the 'Big U' entered service, the two liners were stable mates and often appeared in the same travel agency posters and prints. By 1964 aircraft had taken a large section of the ocean liner travelers away, and the America was sold to Chandris Group and was renamed the Australis. She sailed for 14 years in a very successful career and was the last liner to sail from Southampton to Australia/New Zealand. She was laid up on 1977. She changed owners several times, but was never again successful. While being towed to Thailand, the lines broke and she ran aground in the Canary Island, where the wreak broke up after time - but not before the locals rescued many items from the ship. The model box is fair but the kit inside is in excellent condition. Large wooden and metal kit builds to just over 26 inches long. Kit features pre-carved hull, metal fittings, very large full size plans, print wood and very cardstock, building instructions, perspective views and rigging instructions/diagrams. Never started. Factory sealed bag or inventoried 100% complete with all parts and instructions. You can easily convert it to the USS West Point if you have photos of the ship (which are on the internet) - the main difference is the addition of lifeboats and different paint. Photos of the S.S. Australis will provide the needed data to convert her to that ship, but this conversion will require more work than the West Point.

	Ideal USS Alexander Hamilton Revenue Cutter - 22 Inch Hull Wooden Ship Model Exc- Wood_Metal old			$85
	Excellent wood and metal kit from 1947. The Alexander Hamilton was a beautiful revenue cutter in service from 1871 to 1906. She took part in the Spanish-American War as part of the Havana harbor blockade fleet. After her service, she was sold to a private individual in 1906. Completed model measures 22 inches long. Hull is about 85% precarved. Includes dozens of metal fittings, full size plans, assembly instructions and complete rigging instructions. Never started. Factory sealed bag or inventoried 100% complete with all parts and instructions.
