Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good++
$125
Rare. Late 1950s hardbox issue with great Ray Gaedke artwork. This large 1/80 scale kit of this beautiful ship is very highly detailed for it's time and still makes a fine model today. Includes all parts for motorizing; contacts, switch, dual drive system, metal shafts, motor & motor mounts. There is plenty of room in the hull so you could easily convert it to R/C with today's small systems. Features finely engraved hull with raised panel lines, detailed superstructure with ammo boxes, pump case, life rafts and rings, searchlights, horn , DF loop antenna, clear windows, ships wheel and even tiny engine speed control levers. Weapons include 20mm gun with magazine and shield, two angled Mk20 boxes, depth charges and racks and two hedge-hog launchers with four hedgehogs each. Deck fittings are complete with bitts, hatches, towline bitt and stops, staffs, vents, anchor, lifeboat, mast with radar antenna and platform light and stanchions that you can easily rig to create a railing. Includes a nice display stand. The kit has never been started. NOTE: missing one clear side window for the bridge. It is flat, so you can easily make it from any flat clear plastic material. Otherwise inventoried with all other parts including decals, flags and instructions. The 95' U.S. Coast Guard Cutter 95304, a Coastal Patrol Boat was one of 36 boats built between 1953 and 1959. These cutters were stationed all along the U.S. coasts and performed Search and Rescue missions, and Port Security duty. Nine of the vessels were transferred to South Korea. The remaining vessels remained on active Coast Guard duty until 1986 to 1990. They were replaced with a succession of 82', 87' and 110' Patrol Boats.
Aurora De Havilland DH-10 Bomber, 1/48, 125-198
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: NM+
$125
1957 original issue in amazing, investment-grade 'Near Mint+' condition. Very light wear is the only flaw. This is the first issue of this large scale (1/48) kit and part of the famous Aurora WWI series of 1/48 scale aircraft. The series began in 1956 and Aurora added new kits into the early 1960s. The line proved incredibly popular that these kits were included in the 'mold upgrade' in the 1970s before Aurora went out of business. Includes three crew, ground base and two ground crew. Molded in the correct gloss dark olive, black and clear plastic. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present.
Aurora Russian Mig-19, 1/48, 66-79
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
$129
Dated 1958 with fantastic Jo Kotula artwork; however, the lack of 'Famous Fighters' in the oval boarder logo means that this kit is from the early 1960s. Molded in a stunning gloss dark green and clear plastic and includes the Aurora two-piece clear 'triangle' base display stand. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. Instructions and decals are both in remarkable 'excellent+++' condition. Please note that the box top displays as 'near mint' but is graded only 'very good' because there are tape residue (not tears, residue) at the center of the two long sides.
Comet The Supersonic 4 F-94C Starfire F4D Skyray F3D Skyknight F-84F Thunderstreak Gift Set
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
$325
Very rare. This mid 1950s model includes all four kits in the original early Comet one-color flip top boxes. The Comet Gift Sets were well advertised but seldom seen. The kit boxes inside are all in 'Near Mint' to 'Mint' condition. The condition of the models is as follows: PL-4 Skyknight, PL-6 Thunderstreak and PL-5 Skyray: never started and inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present. PL-3 Starfire: never started. Inventoried and NOTE: missing two pilot's busts. Otherwise complete with all other pieces, decals and instructions present. The box is graded 'very good' because of the dark stain at the lower left. Please note, this kit must be shipped insured.

Monogram Boeing B-52 Stratofortress With Jet Sound, 1/72, PA215
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
$145
First issue dated 1968 of this legendary kit that has 'A First In Modeling - Realistic Jet Sound!" This exact model came from the estate of Monogram's designer for this kit. This detailed model features 207 pieces, crew of three and cockpit, elevating and traversing rear turret, opening and closing bomb bay doors, operating wing flaps, operating spoilers, optional position entry hatch and landing gear, optional parts to display one nacelle open to show the jet engine and more. Molded in the correct green & clear plastic and with metal parts, wire and motor for jet sound. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried 100% complete with all parts present. Includes decals and instructions. NOTE: there are two decal sheets present; each one has damage. Between the two you can make a 98% complete sheet. The white internal parts presentation cardboard is not present and there is no 'Monoglue' cement. The latter is not usual as Monogram eventually stopped including it with this issue. The box is graded as 'very good' condition but does have one closed corner split at the lower right.
Aurora The Man From UNCLE Illya Kuryakin, 1/8, 412-98
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Exc+
$330
Still factory sealed and very rare in this condition. This one-and only 1966 hardbox issue was designed as a tie-in with the famous TV show. When built, this model can be a single display or it is designed to interlock with the Napoleon Solo model to form a larger action scene. The box still has the factory seal but there are several small, hard-to-spot flaws which include a 3/4" x 1/2" spot of missing seal at the bottom center and three very light (and difficult to see) short creases. Please note, this kit will only be shipped double-boxed and insured.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Exc+
$159
Rare Factory/Desk Promotional model produced by Topping for Martin. Larger version with 10 inch missile. Condition is exceptional. Missile is 'mint' and base is easily 'near mint ++.' The correct, original stand says 'Martin Bullpup B.' There are no repairs, no touch-ups and no cracks. Please note that shipping insurance is required.
Revell Convair B-36 Giant Bomber - Pre-'S' Issue, 1/184, H205-98
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
$129
1954 issue of this classic kit. Molded in the correct gloss silver and clear and with the famous clear 'Revelving Swivel Base.' The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including decals and instructions. NOTE: the box would grade higher than 'excellent' but there is a very, very light stain below the front of the aircraft. It is difficult to see. This kit has an interesting history. The first issue came out in the 'short' hardbox that had the full version of this artwork with a port and ocean scene in the background. The first version also had the one-piece stand arm and the instructions that reflected that. The second issue had the same artwork, but with a completely different background that gave better contrast. There may be a 'one-piece' stand arm version in this revised artwork, but I have yet to see one.

This one includes a base with a map of Holland and Dutch Box with hat, wooden clogs and skates. Molded in a deep flesh-like color (almost the exact color of the Pactra 'Flesh' colored paint of the 1970s). The kit has never been started. Inside, the kit is like new. It includes the original factory tissue packing paper and has been inventoried complete with all parts and instructions present. The instructions are in 'near mint' condition.
Microscale F-5E Tiger II - USAF / Iran / Royal Saudi Air Force / Ethiopia, 1/72, 72-366
Other Materials, Box Condition: NM++
$14
These decals are 'mint' condition and have always been stored in a climate controlled residence. Includes the markings & paint guide sheet. 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 USPS handles envelopes roughly, I will only ship decals in a box; so to save on shipping, order decals with model kits so they ship together.

Unknown Motorized Bird, 2
Metal and Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
$18
This model kit was in a collection from Taiwan, so from this fact and the Chinese writing, I am guessing that it's from a Taiwanese manufacturer. This motorized kit measures roughly 8 inches long when built and features body, head, battery holder, electric motor, all wiring, switch, brass came, springs, rubber bands, factory cut hardwood parts and more. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes instructions. I was not able to determine exactly what function was motorized; it might swim or it might just have an animated function.
Revell Lockheed F-94 Starfire 1st Issue - Pre 'S' One Piece Box, 1/56, H201-59
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Fair
$145
One of the first three Revell aircraft molds issued in 1953. This kit is correct with no rivets and no landing gear. Instructions are printed on the back of the box. Molded in the correct high gloss silver and clear. The kit has never been started. NOTE: missing stand arm. Otherwise inventoried with all other parts and decals. The box has wear and creasing as shown. It is missing three of the four small inside flaps. Both large and visible end flaps are complete. Please note that this kit is different from the 'Pre-S' issue in the following ways: no rivet detail, almost no panel lines, different part numbers, pilots are a part of the fuselage (busts only), one piece wings and absence of the pods at the half-wingspan line, no landing gear and no holes for such, very early 'Colortone' logo decals and a silver, two piece plastic stand of a unique design that was not used again.
