Life-Like Combat Jeep And Trailer - With 3 GIs - (ex Revell), 1/40, 09652
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
$125
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 and with metal axles. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts 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. UPC (Universal Power Master) had use of these molds in the 1960s are perhaps the early 1970s; however, the molds were probably in Japan as most if not all the UPC production occured there. Things get even more interesting with this Life-Like issue, which must have been after the UPC operation ceased operation. How Life-Like came across the molds is unfortunately unknown but it may have been in a bulk-purchase of molds that were located overseas. This is simply conjecture, however.

Heller EH-101 Merlin HAS 1 / Testors 365 Sikorsky UH-60A Black Hawk / Airfix 03025 Army Lynx, 1/72, 1219
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
$22
SALE!! Includes all 3 kits in the one boxes shown. NOTE: Sold AS-IS and not inventoried. This collector was very meticulous. Of the many thousands of his kits that I did inventory, 95+% are complete. But on these kits he cut the sprue (trees) with the part numbers still attached to each number, so the parts are loose. Because of that, I have not inventoried these kits. NOTE: he also built minor sub assemblies (cockpit tubs, stub wing halves, etc.) to 'professional' quality. Again, these kits are sold not inventoried and AS IS hence the very low price.
