Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Mint

Investment-grade condition box and kit. Dated 1960. This is actually a newer kit, likely from 1962-64 as it lacks the 'Famous Fighters' logo in the oval border.

Revell 1958 Piedmont Airlines Fairchild F-27 Friendship Decals, 1/94
Cardstock Paper Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++
$16
Rare Revell / Colortone decal set in 'excellent++' condition for the Revell "S" Friendship. Fresh from climate controlled storage. This set sports the very colorful original paint scheme on the 1958 Piedmont launch of the F-27. Even includes the round stand decal. Fairchild had obtained a license to build the F-27 in the USA at about the same time that Fokker started up mass production. As it happened, Fairchild put aircraft into service before Fokker's F-27 rolled off the assembly line. Piedmont took deliver of the Fairchild built N2701R in October of 1958. They had been purchased as DC-3 replacements and flew up and down the eastern USA out of the Raleigh hub.

Bill Low did design at least one 'non-fire truck' kit in his Will-O-Line - a Conestoga Wagon, advertised as being 1/24 scale, kit #B14 for $2.85 listed as "This is another Museum Piece by Bill Low." After seeing these fire truck kits, I do not doubt that.
