Ideal Aeroplane & Supply CV-7 USS Wasp Aircraft Carrier - 18.5 Inch Long Wooden Ship Kit
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
$175
Very rare kit from 1941 that measures 18.5 inches long when assembled. This well designed model even includes partial hanger deck sections where they are most visible from the port and starboard sides; even the rear elevator has a well, so it can be displayed up or down. Issued shortly before the war, the model was not reissued after the war since the Wasp was lost off Guadalcanal by what is likely the most successful submarine torpedo salvo in the history of warfare. Includes completely pre-molded and shaped wood-material hull in excellent, solid and straight condition, 5 sheets of cleanly done printwood (two are bristol board as thick as balsa but stronger), fully formed funnel, wood stock in many shapes and sizes, a fittings packet with four propellers & two anchors and two factory sealed packs of Casco Glue. Features excellent full size plans and instructions. The plans show numerous detail view of the ships substructure and a detailed view of the hanger deck, flight deck with pre-war markings and island. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts and paperwork present.
Airfix Great Western Ocean Liner, 1/180, X882-1800
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Good++
$159
Still factory sealed but the seal has a few splits on the box top as shown. The Great Western was the first ship specifically built for the Atlantic Ferry Service and was designed by I.K. Brunel (who designed the Great Eastern). When launched in 1837, she carried 120 first class, 20 second class, and beds could be set up for an additional 100 if needed. The crew was 60 men. The first crossing of the Atlantic Ocean was in April of 1838 and took just over 15 days. After crossing the Atlantic 64 times, she ran for 10 years between Southampton and the West Indies before being broken up in 1857. The kit is the large scale Airfix Japan issue; it is well detailed and features full hull, complete deck fittings, ships boats, preformed rat lines, detailed paddle wheels, billowing sails and much more.

Estes Apollo Saturn V Flying Scale Model, 1/100, K-36
Multimedia Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed NM++
$215
Still factory sealed and very rare in an amazing, investment grade 'Sealed Near Mint++' box. This is the finest K-36 issue that I have seen and it came from the stock of a long-closed hobby shop. It was never put out for sale and never saw the light of day until now. The seal is 100% intact with no splits. The colors are perfect and factory fresh. The box top has no fading or dents. All four corners are crisp and as they left the factory. There has never been any tape, stickers or price tags on this box. The box top has one very light and short (1 inch) crease at the lower right corner; however, it is so indistinguishable that it did not show up in the photo. The box bottom does have one minor crease that looks like it happened at the factory. This is the Saturn V that is 43.25 inches high and 3.93 inches in diameter. Recommended engine is the D12-3 or three C6-3; includes Technical Report TR-6 on Engine Clustering. Please NOTE that this kit must be shipped along (with no other kits that could damage it) and in a double box to preserve the condition.

Pocher Mercedes-Benz 500K-AK Cabriolet 1935, 1/8, K74
Multimedia Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
$950
This is the final issue of this exact Mercedes and includes the most realistic spoke wheel assembly system. It is serial number 540170. The model is incredibly realistic because Pocher located one of the two 1935 500K-AK cars ever built with the special 7,900 cc engine and the owner generously loaned it to Pocher for two years while they designed this model. Pocher made the finest automobile models ever created. The detail and working parts on these long out-of-production kits is amazing. This kit has 2378 parts of plastic, brass, steel, leather, iron, rubber, copper and more materials. Working features include operating steering, working suspension, lights that operate from the dashboard, leather seats with foam inserts and real springs, doors that open and close with operating door latches and handles, windows that raise and lower with the working cranks, the starting handle operates the crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, V-belts, fan and dynamo and more in the engine. The convertible top operates and much more. This kit has never been started. Inside, it is as it left the factory; all of the parts that were factory sealed are still in the factory bags. The very few larger parts that were never sealed have been inventoried complete. Includes decals and instructions. Recommended for experienced models only. This is the version with most realistic but complex wheel construction.

A slight bit of wear on the right short side and a very slight (and hard-to-see) crease at the lower right are the only flaw worth noting.

Revell US Army Tactical Missiles Little John and Dart with Launchers - 'S' Issue, 1/40, H1812-98
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
$110
First issue from 1958. Little John was a light-weight free-flight rocket that was highly mobile. It could be pulled on its launcher or transported by helicopter. Length was 12 feet long and the warhead was atomic. The Dart was a very early, five foot long wire-guided anti-tank missile with a solid propellant rocket motor. An optical rangefinder was used for guidance. Both models are well detailed. The Dart includes four missiles, one launcher, three stands, decals, one optical guidance unit and a crew of three. The Little John includes a detailed launcher with elevating rails, movable support legs, decals and crew of three. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. The box actually displays significantly better than the 'excellent' rating but is graded as such because there is a very small tear on the lower right corner on the short side and a small 1/2" x 1/4" tape tear on the lower long side.
