SALE! Includes all 6 motor mounts listed. These are factory sealed, NOS (New Old Stock) from a long closed-down hobby shop that I purchased the contents of. While all motor mounts are factory sealed, there are some small holes in the old plastic bags, so a screw or two may be missing. These are standard wood mounting screws available at Lowes or Home Depot. This part of the warehouse was rather dirty, so the bags and headers are also dirty.

Desirable hardbox issue from 1963. This is the popular Aurora USA knight in large 1/8 scale. Molded in gloss black and has the original plume. NOTE: this kit has minor assembly; the two head halves are built. There is no other assembly. Three parts have light detail painting; there is no other painting. Inventoried complete with all parts, plume and photocopied instructions (NOTE: the original instructions are missing). In the mid 1950s, Aurora bought three 'Knight' molds from Crown Plastics and issued them as K1, K2 and K3. These were the very first Aurora figure kits and they sported the 1956-only rectangular 'Northern Lights' logo with the correct 'Crown Line' logo inside it. The sales success of the Knight prompted Aurora to launch an entire line of figure kits. The knights themselves stayed in production long after many other figures were discontinued.

Rare model from the original 1950s Revell "S" Issue molds. Very well detailed featuring rotating wheels, radio, jerry cans, detailed chassis and suspension, tilting windshield, driver/soldier and general figure, detachable trailer with rotating wheels, generator, cable reel, packs, tool box and more. Molded in olive drab plastic. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. These molds must have had a very interesting history. The molds were cut in 1955 or 1956, either at Adams or by one of Revell's contractors. It appeared to be part of the Adams/Revell 1/40 line but Adams never issued the kit. The famous HO model train manufacturer Athearn purchased the Adams molds and ended up with the jeep. Ahtearn used the name SNAP for all plastic kit releases and slightly modified the molds by adding their name & logo to a part (or two) of each kit. Then UPC (Universal Power Master) either leased or purchased (probably the former) the Adams molds from SNAP in the 1960s. While most UPC kits say 'Made in Japan' the ex-Adams models do not and say 'Made in USA'. Things get even more interesting with the Life-Like issue. How Life-Like came across the molds is unfortunately unknown but it may have been in a bulk purchase of molds from Athearn since there were in the same general part of the country. This is simply conjecture, however.

The model is a limited series of 1000. The Slovak Air Force had about 100 B-534 fighter aircraft. After the Austrian anschluss in 1939 they entered into Luftwaffe service with special markings (which are included in this kit). Initially they were used as trainers; however, they also saw service as towing aircraft for DFS 230A gliders. The kit includes extensive, four-view painting guides and decals for two different Slovak Luftwaffe B534s; one took part in the Polish Campaign in 1939 and the other is a winter camo machine that was on the Russian Front. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions.
