Revell Convair B-58 Hustler - 'S' Issue, 1/94, H252-129
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+
$139
Dated 1957 and has the dramatic box art that has made these kits so valuable today. Please note this is a very rare '129' cent kit number variation (produced in the USA for domestic sale), which probably puts the actual date of production @ 1959. It was an excellent model for that time featuring very fine recessed and raised panel lines, full crew, three opening cockpit hatches, rotating wheels, 'The Pod' for weapons and fuel and well detailed gear struts and braces. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions.
Revell A3D Skywarrior (A-3) - 'S' Issue, 1/84, H241-98
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: NM
$145
First issue dated 1956 with great "S" artwork. The box is in amazing investment-grade "Near Mint" condition with perfect color and gloss. The only thing keeping it from being mint is occasional, isolated very light wear. Features folding wings and tail, optional position landing gear and speed brakes, escape hatch, three crew figures and refueling probe. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. Instructions and decals are in 'near mint' condition also with very light yellowing as the only flaw.

$115
Rare. Lodela first and only issue with Argentine markings, Bullpup missiles, two missile carts and tow bars, pilot and three ground crew.

Revell added two Bullpup Missiles (improperly labled as 'Air-To-Air Missiles' on the box top), two missile trailers with towbars, four figures, three figure bases, weapons pylons and separate flap hinge covers (which are included in this issue but strangely missing from the instructions). Molded in white and clear. Never started. Inventoried and the aircraft itself is complete but NOTE: missing one (of 8) wheels for the missile carts. Otherwise inventoried with all other parts present, plus a 'near mint' condition large decal sheet and 'very good++' instructions.

$155
1955 hardbox design. Please note the early Aurora rectangular logo, which was used from about 1953 to 1955. However, the factory has blacked out all the price extensions, so this one may be from around 1957/58. Rare, large scale model features working counter-rotating props and is molded in gloss silver and clear. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions.
Comet Boeing B-47 Stratojet, 1/205, PL-22

Comet originally began model production in 1929 with a line of balsa flying models. In the mid-1950s Comet made a beautiful line of small and medium scale aircraft and missile models with colorful boxes. The early issues were in one-piece 'flip-top' boxes, and the later issues and releases were in standard two-piece 'hardboxes' with a lithograph slick glued to the top box. In 1963 Comet sold the plastic kit molds to Aurora, who reissued some but not all of the kits.
