Late 1950s or early 1950s issue with great box artwork in remarkable 'Near Mint' condition. This very well molded, small-scale kit features all recessed panel lines, rear gun turret station, clear cockpit canopy, auxiliary gas tanks on the outboard wings and more. Includes the famous Comet 'Teardrop' based display stand. Molded in silver and clear. The kit has not been started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. The instructions are on the bottom of the box top and the decals are in amazing 'near mint' condition. People often think that this is the Aurora kit; it is not. The Aurora kit is significantly larger (1/270 scale) that the Comet issue and varies in fair number of important details.

Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed NM
$75
Still factory sealed and in remarkable 'Near Mint' condition. This large scale, well detailed model can be flown rubber free flight, gas free flight, or converted to electric R/C using today's small & light servos and receivers. Features stick & tissue construction and well detailed with scale plastic wheels, plastic propeller, vacuform nose/cowl & engine, full color decals, colored tissue, die cut balsa parts, rubber motor, plywood firewall and 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.

This 2007 set includes both kits. The Merrimac measures just shy of 13 inches long and the Monitor measures 8.25 inches long. Never started. The two ships have been inventoried complete with all parts and instructions present but NOTE: the vacuform water 'battle display base' is missing. These are the two American Civil war ships that spelled the end of the wooden ship age. In March of 1862, the Merrimac put to sea to raise the Union Blockade off the James River. There she sank the Cumberland and Congress. The Monitor, the Union's only ironclad and the first turret ship, was rushed to the scene. The epic battle between the two iron-clad ships ended in a draw, with the Merrimac suffering a little more damage than the Monitor. The Merrimac was blown up to avoid capture; the Monitor sank in a gale in 1862.
