SALE!! Finally, the Pride of the Italian Line in 1/350 scale! The SS Rex is from the same team that brought you the 1/350 SS Normandie Ocean Liner. This four year project is a 100% new model and represents the Rex in her glory years of the mid 1930s. All design work was done in CAD by Ken Friend, a master modeler, designer and builder of experimental engines and test equipment and an engineer who specialized in CAD/CAM/CAE Systems Management and Implementation. All of the smaller parts are printed on ultra-high resolution 3D SLA resin printers. These parts meet and often exceed what is possible with injection molded plastic. Only the larger parts (hull, deck pieces and funnels)are cast resin. These are pressure-cast from de-aired molds to minimize air bubbles. The Italian Line advertised that "The Southern Route Is the Lido Deck Route." By virtue of avoiding the stormy and cold North Atlantic, travelers experienced a true outdoor lifestyle. The Rex was intentionally designed for this. For this model, extensive research and time was spent capturing the exact look of the colorful 1st and 2nd Class Aft Pool Areas- from the changing room & showers, grab rope on the pool, pool slide, stairs & diving boards, tables with umbrellas, recessed (covered) 1st Class Restaurant/Lounge and more. Because of the superior performance of 3D Printing, over 90% of the usual PE (photoetched) metal parts are now 3D printed resin. This is a vast improvement as they are no longer flat, but are true to the shape of the prototype. This also makes for a nearly complete model "out-of-the-box." Includes a real wood deck. NOTE: railings are the only parts not included with the model shown. However, 1/350 PE ship railings are very easy to locate from a large number of sources; I will refer the buyer to the ones that I like to use but you can always use your preference.

SALE!! Finally! A museum-quality 1/350 scale model kit of the SS Normandie - The World's Most Beautiful Ocean Liner. This nine-year project is a 100% new kit. Seven of those years were spent accurately modeling the ship from scratch in TurboCAD. All design work was done in CAD by Ken Friend, a master modeler and engineer who specialized in CAD/CAM/CAE Systems Management and Implementation. This limited-run kit represents the Normandie from her 1935 maiden voyage to New York and has over 1,000 individual parts. The hull and larger parts are pressure-cast resin from de-aired molds. There is one very large photoetched brass sheet for railings, ladders & fine details, a set of ultra-high resolution 3D printed davits, three sheets of real wood printed decking (laser printed so they are colorfast; not ink that can run), decals, flag sheet and a DVD with detailed, highly illustrated instructions including painting guide, step-by-step rigging instructions and research material. This is a previously owned kit; I sold this model years back and then purchased the buyers entire estate. The kit has never been started. This model has been inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions included. NOTE: this kit must be shipped insured.

Very rare first release from 1958 and a one-owner kit; you would be the second owner. It came from a long-time collector and he received it for Christmas in 1958 or 1959; even the original gift tag is inside. Only this issue has these exact missiles; future issues would delete some missiles and add newer ones. This is an excellent model that features a total of 31 missiles, a large, clear display base, color cardstock 'Missile Arsenal' insert for the base with all missile names, special clear 'in flight' display stands for all cruise missiles, full color decals, scale figures and a special booklet called 'Know Your Missiles' with an introduction by the famous space scientist Willy Ley. Molded in the correct deep red, dark blue, white and clear plastic. The box has factory-new color and gloss, four solid original corners, no repairs and no price tags or tag marks. It is graded 'Very Good' because there is general corner, edge & shelf wear, a short piece of tape at the center of the top long box side and a short litho tear (from the thin factory sealing tape) in the same area. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete including all parts and the clear base & cardboard base insert in 'near mint++' condition. Includes decals, instructions and 'Know Your Missiles' booklet. The instructions are in 'near mint+' condition and the decals are in remarkable 'excellent+++' condition with a slight curl on both long sides. Please note that this kit must be shipped insured.

1960 issue of the rare 'Whip Fly hardbox series. Tom Kelly did the 'Action' photos for most of these kits. Whip-Fly kits contain the aircraft model with nose ballast, a metal control ring, 12 feet of control line and a control handle. Never started. All of the parts are still in the clear factory-sealed bag. Includes decals are in 'excellent++' condition while the instructions are 'very good++' with a small, closed tear on one side. The back of the instructions gives the user important tips about whip flying and a paragraph on calculating 'How Fast Will It Go?' The long side of the box shows the complete Whip-Fly series with the action box art. Included are H151 F9F-8 Cougar, H152 F-84F, H153 F-89D Scorpion, H154 F8U-1 Crusader, H155 F-39 Airacobra and H156 F-101A Voodoo. Although not listed yet, there was also a Whip-Fly Canberra, F-106 and Yak-25 Flashlight. The Whip-Fly series seemed like a good idea...at first. Revell quickly realized that spinning heavily-ballasted, sharp objects at dizzying speeds near groups of children was not the best plan; the series was quickly discontinued.

Still factory sealed. These decals are 'mint' condition and have always been stored in a climate controlled residence. Includes paint and markings guide. On this website are two articles that fully explain how to save or reproduce older decals; please read read these before using any older model kit or aftermarket decals. Because USPS handles envelopes roughly, I will only ship decals in a box; so to save on shipping, order decals with model kits so they ship together.

On this website are two articles that fully explain how to save or reproduce older decals; please read read these before using any older model kit or aftermarket decals. To save on or eliminate shipping for decals, please order them with model kits or order enough of them to make boxing worth while. USPS clearly states that any flexible envelope will be bent 90 degrees or more in 2 inches, I cannot send decals in a flexible envelope. And any decal reinforced with cardboard will be greater than 1/4" thick, which USPS says must go as a normal box. There is no choice; because I will not send decals to their probable destruction, shipping in a box is the only option.

Still factory sealed with the box in investment-grade 'Near Mint' condition. 1973 release that is very nicely molded & detailed and from the original 1960s molds. This issue has the higher 1.75" box. Monogram first released the F4B-4, Goshawk and P-6E Hawk in the 1960s 'Blue Boxes' and also in a 'gift set' blue box containing all three kits. Being very good sellers, Monogram discontinued them through the 'White Box' era. But even with Monogram's demise, the story did not stop there. Accurate Miniatures gained access to the molds and reissued two of the three kits in a special boxing. Mark's Models/Starfighter Decals even makes special markings for these models even today.
