Revell Convair 990 Coronado Luxury Jet Airliner Swissair, 1/135, H254-129

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good++

Sold   

Rare hardbox first issue dated 1961. Very nice kit of the fantastic Mach .91 airliner from the early 1960s. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. It is interesting to note that Revell still included the 'S' clear swivel stand with this kit in 1961. Use of this stand had long been discontinued in the reissued 'S' kits. The Convair 990 and its near sister 880 were very high performance airliners. Unfortunately they did not find favor with commercial operators. The commercial failure of the 990 caused Revell (and Aurora) to pull these molds from production shortly after the introduction of the kit. The 990 was a larger and faster (Mach .91) airliner than the 880, but it failed to meet it's range criteria for east to west crossings of the USA. As a result, only 37 were made. Interestingly enough, several 990s continued to be operated by private owners and NASA operated two for decades after the last one was phased out of commercial service. Only 65 880s were produced from 1959 to 1962. The aircraft was designed to be smaller and faster than the DC-8 and 707 - this market did not develop, however, and if it did it could have been served with less expensive designs.

Ideal Aeroplane & Supply Revenue Cutter - 12 Inches Long, 1110

Wood Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good-

Sold   

The plans are dated 1938. This kit is part of Ideal's famous '12 Inch' series of ship models with the composition molded hull. This eliminated all the work of forming the hull from a block of wood. This hull is in 'near mint' condition with no warping and no damaged, just a few tiny edge chips at the top hull line. Also includes two sheets of printwood parts, bamboo strips, wooden dowels, full plans/instructions which include rigging details. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes the plans/instructions. The box is generally very nice but is missing the large flap on the left side. The parts are still wrapped in the plans exactly as they left the factory; the plans do have a little wear, mainly in the corners and are in 'very good' condition.

Wood Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG++

Revell Great Eastern - First of the Great Steamships, 1/388, H393-500

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG+

Sold   

Very rare kit of this historic ship. Early USA 1963 issue hardbox in very good condition that includes framable John Steel boxart. The model measures 22.25 inches long when built. Very nicely detailed for that time. Never started. Inventoried and NOTE: missing the prop shaft. Easily made; it does not show. The model can even be built without it by gluing the prop to the hull. Otherwise complete with all other parts, rat lines, vacfuform sails (in near mint condition) and instructions. The Great Eastern (originally Leviathan) was the work of English Designer I.K. Brunel. In the 1850s there was a need for large ocean liners to carry the immigrant trade, but none existed. Shipping companies also wanted the interiors of ocean liners to look like hotels, but there simply no space. This ship was to solve that problem. She was launched in 1857 and five times bigger than any other ship of the day! The 22,500 ton Great Eastern was 693 feet long and carried 4000 passenger. Unfortunately, her career was one mishap after another until she found fame by laying the trans-Atlantic cable.
