Revell SMS Emden and SMS Dresden - Includes Both WWI Light Cruisers / Commerce Raider, 1/350, 05500

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good-

Sold   

Includes both superb ship models from modern 2006 Revell of Germany molds. Both are full hull models with excellent detail. And Revell took the time to capture the differences between the two ships in these models. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. The story of Emden's Indian Ocean raiding career in WWI is legendary. The story of Dresden's short career in WWI also interesting. She was serving with the German East Asiatic Squadron; near the start of hostilities they made a voyage across the Pacific Ocean hoping to go around South America and return to Germany via the Atlantic. The squadron came across Sir Christopher Cradock's British Squadron in the South Pacific at Coronel. There the Germans won a great victory over Cradock; the problem was that now the Germans were sited and their intentions known. The British positioned battlecruisers at the Falkland islands in anticipation; they did not have long to wait. When the Germans were sighted, the British casually got ready then sailed, knowing their superior speed and gun range could make short work of the biggest ships the Germans had. The British were correct; the Germans were soundly defeated off the Falklands. However, the Dresden was the only German ship to survive. She went back around Cape Horn in the Pacific and successfully hid for several months, only to be eventually found near Mas a Tierra (Chile) by Glasgow and Kent. Knowing that escape was impossible, the Dresden was scuttled by her crew. The wreck still lies in the harbor today.

Aurora 1913 Mercer Raceabout - Old Timers Issue, 1/16, 572-198

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG

Sold   

1961 first issue hardbox. Done in a big 1/16 scale, this kit and the other 'Old Timers' in the series represented a significant leap forward in quality for Aurora. This model features full suspension, transaxle and driveline detail, builds up a rolling chassis like the real car and includes full exhaust and a detailed interior. Molded in gloss ivory, gloss black, clear, chrome plate and with real rubber tires. The kit has never been started. The parts that were factory sealed are still in the sealed bags; the parts that were never sealed have been inventoried complete with all parts including instructions. Aurora was renowned for turning a profit and for keeping expenses down. In researching new kit subjects, they came upon a forgotten jewel - the Hudson Miniatures line of 1/16 scale wooden kits. Hudson had discontinued this line due to lack of wooden kit sales. But the Hudson models were second to none in quality, research and documentation. Aurora was quick to realize this and used the research and layout from these kits to create the subjects for this 'Old Timers' series. It is fortunate for us that they did, because in most cases this is the only injection molded kit of these rare and classic early automobiles.

Very rare. 1964 original issue of Ringo of the Fab Four. When the Beatles made it big, everyone wanted a piece of the action and Revell was no exception.

On the left there are two which are 1.5" x 3/8" each and on the right long side there is one 1" long by 1/2 inch (average). Please note that Richard Starkey (his original name) must be shipped insured.
