Matchbox Dornier Do-18 G-1 / V-2 / D-2 Civil or Military - Luftwaffe Calais-based 3/KuFlGr 406 (1940) or 2/KuFlGr 506 Kiel 1938 or Civil D-AANE 'Zyklon' Lufthansa South Atlantic Mail Service (1938), 1/72, 40409
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
$42
Dated 1992 and from original molds. Nicely detailed kit for that time with optional parts for all three versions and a paint guide and markings for the three aircraft listed. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. Lufthansa was a pioneer in trans-oceanic mail services and the Do-15 and Do-18 grew to fit this need. Given the German interests in South America, it was no surprise that they established one of the first airmail services between Europe and that continent. This kit will build one of those aircraft, the Lufthansa South Atlantic Mail Aircraft (1938) D-AANE 'Zyklon' or the military version. The Do-18 was an improved D0-15 'Wal' and set several records during it's long useful life.

Airfix Avro Lancaster B.III Dam Buster, 1/72, 08004
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Exc+
$32
Still factory sealed. Dated 1993 and well detailed with 108 pieces. This special 'Dam Buster' version of the venerable Airfix kit is properly modified to a No. 617 Squadron aircraft includes the Wallis 'Bouncing Bomb' or mine for attacking German dams in WWII. The bomb was spun to 500 rpm, and the attack had to take place at exactly 220 mph at 60 feet above the water. The bomb would be released and would skip over the water to the dam wall, where it would roll down roughly 30 feet underwater. At this point, it would detonate. Given that water is incompressible, the blast could only go one place - through the incredibly thick concrete dam wall. As you can imagine, the raid was dangerous and 32 crew were decorated after the May 1943 mission.

Frog Bristol Beaufort Torpedo Bomber - Red Series, 1/72, F337
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: NM
$34
1960s issue that is very cleanly molded in gray. The original owner carefully kept the factory shrink wrap on the box top, making for a 'Near Mint' condition box. Features separately molded ailerons, rudder and elevators, crew, rotating top turret and very good engine and landing gear detail. Includes a clear display stand and a multi-view full color painting guide on the back of the box. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. Frog is considered the father of injection molded model kits. The Lines Brothers opened Frog in 1932, capitalizing on the fever caused by Lindberg's solo transatlantic flight. Almost overnight the western populations became 'Air-Minded', and anything aviation was in high demand. Frog created a quality line of stick and tissue rubber powered aircraft and gliders as well as innovative ready-to-fly rubber powered aircraft that required no assembly. The box even contained a built-in rubber motor winder and fuselage holder. Model airplane flight competitions were popular in Great Britain, and one category was 'Rise Off the Ground', or ROG. By changing this to 'Flies Right Off the Ground', the FROG name was born. In 1936 Frog created a line of injection molded plastic models, the first such kit line in the world (Hawk sold a line of injection molded aircraft models in 1934 but they were factory assembled and painted). Named 'Penguin' after the bird that does not fly, the kits were innovative beyond the means of production. At a time when models were simply built by wingspan, the Penguin line was a constant 1/72 scale. Furthermore, a large 1/72 Short S.30 Empire class flying boat contained a full interior and lights! A line of accessories such as AA guns, tractors, hanger, ambulance, sound locator, searchlights and lighting kits were quickly added to the line. WWII caused a pause in production. After the war the box color changed from silver to green, and Penguin kits were also marketed in the USA. Production ended in 1950. Frog quickly expanded and released the Red, Orange, Black, Green, Gold Token, Spin and Comet series as well as Trail Blazers and several others. It is noteworthy that while most manufacturers in the 1940s/50 were making toy-like models, Frog attempted to make very realistic models. For example, 'detailing' kits with excessively large rivets was once very popular. Frog ignored this trend and continued to mold aircraft with fine panel lines and no rivets. As a result, Frog kits can be built into very realistic replicas. Production ended in the late 1970s, but Frog molds are still in use around the world.

Daimler-Benz introduced the Mercedes SS (Super Sport) with featured two carburetors, sleep appearance and a bigger engine. The SSK (K stood for Kurz, meaning 'Short') was introduced in 1919 and was eighteen inches shorter than the SS. In 1929 with Rudolf Caracciola at the wheel, the SSK won the International Tourist Trophy race held in Belfast, Ireland with an average speed of 72.8 mph. In late 1930 Carracciola won the 300 Mile Irish Grand Prix in an SSK with an average speed of 86.3 mph, which broke existing course records despite the intermittent rainfall.
