Comet Douglas Skyknight F3D, 1/99, PL-4
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc+
$42
Early 1950s issue in the one-piece 'flip-top' box. This is likely the second issue, since it has the more colorful box artwork. The kit is molded in glossy deep blue and clear plastic. Has correct clear teardrop display stand base and arm. Never started. Inventoried with all parts and instructions present. NOTE: missing decals. The instructions are in 'near mint++' condition and even the famous Comet 'yellow envelope' is present for you to send away for a catalog. Comet originally began model production in 1929 with a line of balsa flying models. In the mid-1950s Comet made a beautiful line of small and medium scale aircraft and missile models with colorful boxes. The early issues were in one-piece 'flip-top' boxes, and the later issues and releases were in standard two-piece 'hardboxes' with a lithograph slick glued to the top box. In 1963 Comet sold the plastic kit molds to Aurora, who reissued some but not all of the kits.
Delphis Models Regina Margherita Battleship - Italian Pre-Dreadnought - Benedetto Brin / Regina Margherita, 1/700, DM554
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++
$95
Very rare kit of this important and greatly improved Italian pre-dreadnought Battleship. This waterline model is cast in high-definition resin and has higher quality detail than injection molded kits of the same scale. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes instructions. The two battleships of the Regina Margherita class were built for the Italian Regia Marina between 1898 and 1905. Earlier Italian battleships were not powerful enough to go up against foreign capital ships and were two slow to chase down cruisers; this class successfully addressed both issues. There were ships: Regina Margherita and Benedetto Brin. The ships were designed by the latter's namesake, Benedetto Brin, who died before the ships were completed. Armed with four 12 inch guns, they could achieve a speed of 20 knots which was very respectable for that time. Both ships saw extensive service for the first decade of their careers. They fired in anger in the Italo-Turkish War of 1911–1912, where they participated in the seizure of Cyrenaica in North Africa and operations in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. by the time WWI started, they were reduced to training ships; however, both ships were shortly lost with a heavy loss of life. Benedetto Brin exploded in Brindisi in September 1915 and Regina Margherita struck a mine and sank in December 1916.
