Nice early Midwest RC kit from the early to mid 1960s when the Galloping Ghost single-channel proportional system was at its height. As was typical of most of the super-stable designs of the period, the aircraft flew itself most of the time. This model came from the estate of a very active and particular early aircraft kit collector. Features quality die-cut balsa and plywood, factory-cut wood blocks & stock, fully shaped wing trailing edges, fully formed wire landing gear, balsa sheet stock, die-cut clear windshield, covering material and more. Includes full size plans with text instructions, detail illustrations and more. Never started. Inventoried complete with all parts, plans and decals included. NOTE: this kit came in a very heavy and sturdy cardboard box; it will ship in that box covered with heavy brown packing paper. If you want to have it placed in another box for shipping just let me know; since it will be bigger and heaver, shipping will be more than at checkout.

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. To save on or eliminate shipping for decals, please order them with model kits or order enough of them to make boxing worth while. USPS clearly states that any flexible envelope will be bent 90 degrees or more within 2 inches, so I cannot send decals in a flexible envelope. A 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 send decals to their probable destruction, shipping in a box is the only option. I inquired about sending decals via "Media Mail" as the looks like the perfect solution; however, the US Post Master specifically called out decals as not being Media mail and prohibiting using it in that way. Yes, some businesses do anyway but it is against regulations. I have a great relationship with USPS and I cannot put that at risk.

Very rare and out of production now that HPH has closed down the manufacture of all models. HPM models were the definitive 'State-Of-The Art' in model making and true 'Museum Quality' as required by the most demanding modelers and collectors of this time. These super-accurate and amazingly detailed models are made from fiberglass, high-definition gray and clear resin (vacuum-cast to eliminate air bubbles and ensure that every detail is completely filled), color & non-colored photoetched parts and much more. Include decals and a large mask set. Each kit was made by hand and production was very limited. Inside, this kit is as it left the factory. Never unpacked; never started. The parts that were factory sealed are still in the factory sealed bags & box. The few large parts that were never sealed have been inventoried complete. Includes decals. The assembly instructions are on the original factory DVD. Please NOTE that this kit must be shipped double-boxed and insured. The box has damage as shown, but that area is not over the big fiberglass parts- just smaller parts in sturdy boxes. So there is no damaged to the kit inside.

Very rare promotional model of the 'Safeguard' ABM Missile Sprint. The Sprint and Spartan pair made up the missiles of this Anti-Ballistic Missile system with Sprint designed for short range interceptions. The system was made operational on October 1 1975 and Congress voted to shut it down less than 24 hours later on October 2 1975. Condition is excellent. Missile measures 14.75 inches high and is made of plastic. The missile body is mint with no broken parts - no scratches - no wear. The decals are 'very good.' There is some black missing on the roll pattern at the top (see photo) and the same amount missing on the back base roll pattern. The red 'US ARMY' is mint on the back but part of the 'R' is missing on the front as shown. The base is 'excellent' and has a metal plate that reads 'US Army Sprint Antimissile Missile - Martin Marietta.' There are no touch ups or repairs and no cracks. Please note that shipping insurance is required.
