O-Lin Republic Seabee Amphibian, 1/48, 503
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++++
$145
Very rare kit for the advanced collector. The Seabee was produced as a high performance sport amphibian. This is a very hard-to-fine original O-lin kit in the small box and advertisement for O-lin cement on the top. Produced in 1949 or just before. O-Lin (Olin) was founded by Paul Lindberg and a Mr. Olsen - hence the company name. Although a producer of flying models in the 1930s, O-lin produced some of the earliest American injection molded kits in the late 1940s. In 1950 the partnership may have ended, because all branding was changed to Lindberg and Paul Lindberg. Inside, the kit is as new. It is molded in high gloss light gray and has the correct decals and instructions. The kit has never been started and is inventoried complete with all parts, instructions and decals.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
$165
Very rare original "S" kit from 1959. The box states "So Realistic It Does Everything But Fly!" and that is no idle boast. It is full of action features; the wings fold, dive brakes operate, arresting hook moves, canopy slides to show full cockpit, landing gear retracts and cowling comes off to show fully detailed engine. The most interesting thing is that the landing gear retracts and extends with a very complicated gear system that is operated from a central point. Molded in the correct gloss medium gray and clear plastic. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. Decals are in amazing 'near mint' condition with slight yellowing as the only flaw and the instructions are 'excellent++'. The box is only graded 'good-' due to the light age staining shown on the box top at the right side.

Aurora Scotch Lassie, 1/8, 420-98
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++
$75
Rare kit dated 1957 and part of the extensive 'Guys and Gals Of All Nations' series of Aurora figure kits. These kits are large and well detailed but just didn't sell too well. Aurora had to drop them from the line, which made them instant collector's items. The kit has never been started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bag. Includes instructions in 'very good' condition with some yellowing and age spotting as the only flaws. The box displays much better than the 'very good++' grade but is rated as such because there is edge wear at the two corners on the top short panel and some other light shelf wear on the two long sides.
