ITC Stinson Model T Tri-Motor - Eastern Air Service, 1/61, 3722
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
Sold
Rare. This famous early 1930s transport saw extensive use and was the primary competition of the Ford Tri-Motor. The Stinson Tri-Motor was the brainchild of E.L. Cord, the money behind the aircraft and the owner of the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg automobile company. Cord also owned Lycoming, the engines that ended up on the final product. Another of Cord's companies was Century Airlines, which naturally used the aircraft. Century later became part of American Airlines. The Model T was used by many other airlines including Eastern, Delta, Braniff, TWA, United and American when they rolled up Century. The Tri-Motor carried 10 passengers, baggage and of course the mail, which was critical to early airline revenue. The aircraft proved successful and economical to operate. the model features clear windows, interior with passengers and pilots, Eastern Air Service decals and clear blue-tinted display stand. Never started. The clear parts and decals are still in the factory sealed bag, while the red parts were never factory sealed and have been inventoried complete. With instructions.

Revell Convair B-36 Giant Bomber - Pre-'S' Issue, 1/184, H205-98
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: NM-
Sold
1954 issue of this classic kit. Molded in the correct gloss silver and clear and with the famous clear 'Revelving Swivel Base.' The box is in 'near mint-' condition and has perfect color and gloss, four solid corners, no creases, fading or rips, no price tags or tag marks and no tape or marks (other than the factory sealing tape). The things keeping it from being 'near mint' or 'mint' are a slight discoloration to the left of the "C" in Convair, some very light wear and a very small (5mm by 2mm stain) on the long lower side. The kit has never been started. Inside it is like new. The small parts are still factory sealed in the small clear bag and the parts that were never sealed have been inventoried complete including decals and instructions. Instructions and decals are both in 'near mint' condition with age yellowing as the only flaw. This model has an interesting history. The first issue came out in the 'short' hardbox that had the full version of this artwork with a port and ocean scene in the background. The first version also had the one-piece stand arm and the instructions that reflected that. The second issue had the same artwork, but with a completely different background that gave better contrast. There may be a 'one-piece' stand arm version in this revised artwork, but I have yet to see one. After this is was issued in the "Air Power" artwork in many countries.
