Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Fair+
$189
Rare. From 1973 and the first and only issue. In the 1970s Revell made two cut-away airliners in the 'Show-Off Model' series - the 747 and the L-1011. The 747 was reissued in the early 2000s, but the Tristar has never been reissued. This is a good kit with very good full interior detail. Features optional position landing gear, over 220 passenger seats with first class and coach, Passenger Lounge, upper and lower galleys, pilot, copilot, flight engineer and 5 air hostess figures. Includes a display stand with an L-1011 TriStar decal as well as full TWA decals for the aircraft. Never started. It has been inventoried 100% complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. The box is 100% intact but has moderate to heavy wear as shown, hence the 'fair+' rating.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
$139
This is one of the final 'S' kits and is dated 1960; the red and yellow "S" Cement logos are on all four side panels. Like most early Revell sailing ship models, the molds were cut by true craftsman and builds into a beautiful model. Features crisp details, excellent mold quality, full hull with simulated wood planking and copper plates below the waterline, one piece main deck, sail lockers, fife rails, cleats, capstans, windlass, fresh water barrels, detailed deck houses, bilge pump, cargo hatches, skylights, wheelhouse & wheel, ladders, rear railings, ship's boats & davits, figurehead, fore & aft catheads, anchors, three piece masts with separately molded crows nests and cross trees, separately molded yard arms & jibs, realistic deadeye & chainstay assemblies, Revell's famous pre-formed ratlines, vacuform billowing sails, rigging thread, rigging instructions and even a display stand.

Carefully inventoried 100% complete with all plastic parts, black cord for the anchors,, decals, flag sheet, booklet 'The Story of Ships' and instructions.

Revell Russian T-34 Tank S Issue, 1/40, H538-129
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc++
$110
Rare original hardbox issue from 1958 in a beautiful 'Excellent++' condition box; this is not the common 1995 softbox reissue. Aurora had set the bar high for early armor kits; Revell had to better that and they did. This model features fine surface detail, flexible working treads, rotating turret, elevating gun, optional position hatches, four troops and more. Molded in the correct gloss deep green and with silver flexible tracks. Never started. All parts, decals and instructions have been inventoried 100% complete and are correct for this early issue. The box top has outstanding color & gloss, four solid corners and no repairs. The flaws the lightest of edge & corner wear on the lower right, very slight & isolated general wear on the two long sides and a very small & light 'ding' (about 1/4" long) on the left short panel.
Aurora Wheeler Cruiser Sports Fishing Yacht, 1/43, 444-500
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+
$325
Very rare kit with great box art by Mort Kunstler. This is the first and probably only issue dated 1967. Aurora did a beautiful job on this model, but it simply did not sell and was discontinued very shortly. The high price of $5 USD and the esoteric subject matter were to blame. This is a large-scale model with excellent detail. Features a one piece hull, complete propeller and rudder detail, one piece main deck, venetian blinds for the larger interior windows, extensive deck fittings which are all separately molded, all hand rails (in chrome), dinghy with interior & oars, spray shields, display stand, 5 figures and much more. The kit has never been started. The blue and white parts are still in the factory sealed bags. The brown and chrome parts are loose and have been inventoried 100% complete. Includes instructions and decals. The chrome plating in in 'as new' condition. This kit must be shipped insured.
Adams 280mm Atomic Cannon With 2 Gun Transporters - M65, 1/40, K153-398
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+++
$325
SALE!! Very rare and even more so in this condition. Classic Cold-War kit from the late 1950s. The Atomic Cannon was the Army's 20 mile range gun that could fire shells that contains small atomic bombs. The model is very highly detailed for that time and features transporters with movable wheels, towing yokes, fully detailed cab interiors & complete suspension, elevating and swiveling machine guns; the Atomic Cannon itself can be configured for firing or towing positions, the barrel elevates by real operating gears, the carriage rotates 360 degrees on platform and it actually fires 2 "Atomic" shells. Includes crew of 7. Inside, the model is factory new. It has never been started. The parts that were factory sealed are still in the factory sealed bags; the parts that were never factory sealed have been inventoried complete. Includes decals and instructions. The decals are absolutely flat and in 'VG++' condition with the typical light age yellowing and some edge wear. The instructions are in 'excellent++' condition with typical yellowing as the only significant flaw. The box has like-new color and gloss. There are no tears, no price tags or tag marks, no tape or tape marks (other than the factory sealing tape), four solid corners, no repairs and no fading. However, it does have light to moderate general shelf wear as shown, mainly on the edges. There is one small factory tape litho pull on the upper long side which measures 1/2" x 3/8". The amazing M65 280mm atomic cannon originally started life as a conventional artillery piece. Development first began in 1944 before the first atomic weapon had been tested. Far from being 'just another giant gun', the M65 was carefully designed to be a very mobile and versatile weapon. Liberal use of aluminum and other light-weight metals kept the weight of the gun and both transports to about 85 tons, which is not much more than the largest conventional gun of WWII. As a result, it is light enough to be carried by trucks and cross bridges without collapsing them. Size was also a major factor, as it can fit inside landing craft, turn street corners of an amazingly small radius and travel as fast at 35 mph. The two transporters are required to move the gun, with one in back and one in front. Power is supplied to each tractor by a 6 cylinder engine with 375 horsepower. Both transmissions are manually controlled. These 4x4 machines can push, pull or parallel one another - with the gun slung between them. The driver of the front tractor has control of the brakes and throttles of both units and can communicate to the rear driver by telephone. The gun can be traversed in a complete circle and has a range of up to 20 miles. A complete 280mm battery consisted of two guns, four 5-ton trucks towing ammunition trailers, another two trucks pulling a pair of generator trailers (each with a 30 KW generator to furnish power to the guns), a 5th truck carrying four shell carts and a 2 1/2 ton shop van. The total crew was about 100 men. Each gun could be set up to fire in less than 12 minutes and can fire a round every two minutes.
