Sterling Fokker D-7 Fires Rockets In Flight - 24 Inch Wingspan Flying Aircraft - (D-VIII), A1
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
$75
Like so many of the special feature Sterling models, this one does something cool: it launches rockets automatically in flight! The Sterling Nieuport II has the same system; other models such as the Stuka and P-6E drop bombs in flight; another actually drops leaflets while another crop dusts. This model is from the 1970s and is designed to fly one of three ways; free flight (rubber or gas, control line or R/C. If you are experienced, you can even make it electric powered R/C. Features precision, die-cut balsa wood parts, lightweight and detailed plastic cowl with radiator front, machine guns & pilot bust & engine cylinder top section, fully formed wheels with rubber tires, complete rocket firing system with fully finished rockets, launching tubes and hardware, plastic propeller, fully formed wire landing gear struts, rubber motor, covering tissue, a large decal sheet and superb Sterling full size plans with instructions. Never started and the small parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags; the larger parts were never sealed and have been inventoried complete. Includes decals and instructions. Sterling was a famous manufacturer dating back to the 1930/40s flying model craze. Although they continued to produce kits for decades after the flying model slump following World War II, they eventually fell victim to the general lack of interest in modeling that occurred in the early 1980s. I always considered Sterling kits to be deluxe models due to their many additional features.

AeroMaster Hawker Hunter Part 3 Decals, 1/32, 32-003
Other Materials, Box Condition: Sealed
$14
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 the 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 knowingly send decals to destruction, they will only ship decals in a box. So to save on or eliminate shipping for decals, please order them with model kits or order enough of them to make boxing worth while.

Revell Vostok - Russia's First Spacecraft, 1/24, H1844
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Exc
$115
Still factory sealed. 1998 issue of the classic 1969 kit. Very large 1/24 scale, well detailed kit of Major Yuri Gagarin's spacecraft. Gagarin's flight was the first of 6 successful Vostok launches from the secret space center at Baikonur. Gagarin made one orbit in 108 minutes, which was enough to make him the first man in space. Titov followed in Vostok 2 and made 17 orbits. Other launches featured 4 mile passes in orbit, and Vostok 6 featured the first Woman Astronaut, Valentina Tereshkova. It is interesting that Vostok did not have attitude control for correct placement when re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The sphere was designed with the weight off-center, so it would automatically swing into position during the heat of reentry. Features detachable crew compartment, ejecting seat and Cosmonaut figure. Molded in metallic silver and clear and includes display stand.
