Revell Tanker J.L. Hanna - Standard Oil of California T-2- S Issue, 1/400, H322-169
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
$145
Rare original issue from 1955. This model has some of my favorite Revell 'S' artwork and is also an exemplary kit for that that time. Inside, the model is molded in the correct gloss dark red plastic and has not been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts present and includes decals, flag sheet and instructions. Decals are perfectly flat and intact, with the typical age yellowing as the only flaw. The instructions are 'excellent' with the same age discoloration but otherwise fine. Please NOTE that the box is 'good-' so it is not in collectible condition. It has many small dark spots on the left (very hard to see at some angles), a 2" long tape tear at the center of the lower long side, edge wear, litho chipping on the edges and just a lot of wear all around - but good gloss, color and with four solid, original corners. But not collectible.

Lindberg Motorized German Battleship Bismarck, 1/350, 762
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
$65
1970s release of the dard-to-find motorized issue with John Steel artwork. This large 25.5 inch long classic kit features motorized propeller drive, automatically rotating main turrets with elevating main guns and the ship can be programmed for straight, figure eight or circle sailing patterns. One of the nice things about this model is that it all works well! I had endless fun with mine in a local lake. Never started. All of the plastic parts (except the hull) are still in the factory sealed bags. Includes the motor, wiring, decal sheet, flag sheet and instructions. NOTE: the flag sheet and decals have been ruined by water damage. NOTE: missing the small clear bag which contained (5) small deck screws, drive shaft coupling (a rubber tube) and the tiny spring that centers the rudder.

Guillows Fokker DR-I Triplane - 20 inch Wingspan for Free Flight or R/C Conversion - (DR1), 204
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed NM
$65
Still factory sealed and rare in this condition. Large-scale and well detailed model introduced iin the mid 1960s and produced well into the 1970s. It can be flown rubber free flight, gas free flight or converted to electric R/C with modern servos and receivers. Features stick-and-tissue construction, scale plastic wheels, plastic propeller, plastic nose cowl, plastic radial engine, full decals, colored tissue, die cut balsa parts, rubber motor, plywood firewall and more. With excellent full size plans. Guillow's founder, Paul K. Guillow, was a WWI naval aviator. In 1926 he began producing wooden model airplane kits. His 'Shelf Models' were some of the earlier non-flying models in production. Guillow's grew during the model boom of the 1930s, and when the Depression hit the hardest, Guillow's responded with lower prices and became one of the low price leaders, frequently advertising in Model Airplane News and other leading publications. During the war, like most manufacturers, Guillow's was forced to alternative materials such as cardboard and pine. Guillow's survived the post WWII slump by creating many inexpensive profile flying rubber powered aircraft and gliders in the 1950s (along with North Pacific) which became famous - some are still available today. The stick and tissue lines have been updated with laser cut parts and are still in production as of 2009.

Before plastic kits were introduced, Strombecker was famous as the premier hardwood preshaped model manufacture. In the 1940s and 1950s, Strombecker kits were flawlessly engineered but not inexpensive. All wooden parts are hardwood and are pre-carved to shape - usually only a quick sanding would finish them.
