Wood Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good

Sold   

From the early to mid 1970s. Large scale issue for rubber or gas free flight, or easily converted to RC using today's tiny and light servos and receivers. Box art is by Locher, who did a great deal of the Monogram box artwork also. Kit features traditional wood/tissue construction with all die cut parts, 'Tube-O-Matic' fuselage construction and 'Rugged Super X Simplified Non-Warping Wing' construction, colorful insignia, detailed full size plans, building instructions, wheels, hardware, tissue and propeller. The model has not been started. Inventoried 100% complete. Comet was a famous manufacturer of stick and tissue flying and static models. In the 1930s Great Depression, they lead the low-priced kit revolution with the "Dime Scale" kits and famous advertisements in Model Airplane News magazine and others. Comet reached it's peak in the 1930s when they acquired the services of Carl Goldberg. Goldberg was a highly accomplished modeler with articles in Model Airplane News and famous designs that won him several National level competitions in the 1930s and beyond. (Carl Goldberg went on to found his own company and produced well designed and popular free-flight and RC aircraft). Comet survived the post World War economic slump and continued kit production until they were bought out by long-time competitor Guillow's in 1998.

Replica Seacraft 19 Foot Cape Cod Catboat - 9.5 Inches Long, 1/24, 101

Wood Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG

Sold   

Features unique hull, deck and superstructure materials so there is no carving. Includes fine quality spars, wood trim and sail material, detailed metal fittings, quality rigging materials, scale model blueprint and illustrated instructions. You build up the hull on a board with a center spar and bulkheads, then cover it with strips (appears to be heavy paper), then cover that with what looks like fiberglass. The side of the box agrees with this, stating that for this model "modern construction methods...simulate Ferro-Cement or Fiberglass boat building techniques. Never started. Many of the items were factory sealed and still are. The few parts that were not factory sealed have been inventoried complete. Like plank-on-frame kits, I would only recommend this for highly experienced wooden ship model builders. In 1976 Replica Seacraft had a line of these nice, very complete kits that included the Friendship Sloop, Cape Cod Catboat and Prudence Sloop.

AMT 1968 Ford Thunderbird Coupe Promo With Original Box, 1/25, 9228-250

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG

Sold   

Very rare friction motor promotional in superb condition and includes the original box. This model was obtained in 1968 by a discriminating adult collector in Lexington KY. The promo has never even been displayed - it has been in the box since it left the factory. The color and gloss are factory new. The chrome is 'near mint.' There is no body warp and the clear is in 'near mint' condition. I would grade this one 9 out of 10 with 10 being flawless. The deduction is for very light box roof scuffs. The original box is complete and 'very good+' with general age wear.
