AMT 1958 Edsel 2 Door Hardtop Promo, 1/25
Plastic Model Kit
Sold
Rare. Original dealer promotional model in very nice condition. It is 100% complete. This is a one-owner model that has always been adult owned. It has the all-metal black chassis with the following text paint on in white - "In The Medium Price Field, The One That's Really New Is The Lowest Price Too! 1958 Edsel" The friction motor was removed. The tires are factory new - it has never been played with and never exposed to smoke. For this model, the body is 'very good' and has slight warping. The two tone body color is in 'very good++' condition. Chrome is good and has fading on the top like usual; the clear is like new. Some of the fine trim (door handles etc) has been painted to 'professional' quality; it is good enough to pass for factory paint.
Guillows Mitsubishi Zero - 27 inch Wingspan for Free Flight or R/C Conversion, 1/16, 404
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Sold
From the late 1960s or early 1970s. Large scale and can be flown rubber free flight, gas free flight, or converted to electric RC using modern small and light servos and receivers. Well detailed with scale plastic wheels, plastic propeller, vacuform nose/cowl and engine, plastic pilot, U-Control parts and handle, full color decals, covering tissue, die cut balsa parts, rubber motor, plywood firewall and excellent full size plans. The model has not been started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. Guillow's founder, Paul K. Guillow, was a WWI naval aviator. In 1926 he began producing wooden model airplane kits. His 'Shelf Models' were some of the earlier non-flying models in production. Guillow's grew during the model boom of the 1930s, and when the Depression hit the hardest, Guillow's responded with lower prices and became one of the low price leaders, frequently advertising in Model Airplane News and other leading publications. During the war, like most manufacturers, Guillow's was forced to alternative materials such as cardboard and pine. Guillow's survived the post WWII slump by creating many inexpensive profile flying rubber powered aircraft and gliders in the 1950s (along with North Pacific) which became famous - some are still available today. The stick and tissue lines have been updated with laser cut parts and are still in production as of 2009.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG

1960s Pyro issue from original molds. In the early to mid 1960s the Pyro company chose many of it's kit subjects based more on historical significance than popularity.

The Pyro car models are based on the actual cars that Pyro engineers and designers had access to. later issues of this kit state on the side that it can be converted to model road racing (slot car). The model includes beautiful deep maroon injection molded parts, clear parts, detailed molded chassis and complete interior. Never started. Inventoried complete with all parts and instructions.
