Ideal for slot car conversion. Life-Like release from original quality Pyro molds. Features detailed underside chassis with separately molded rear differential and drive shaft, full interior including door side panels and more. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts and instructions present. In the early to mid 1960s the Pyro company chose many of it's kit subjects based more on historical significance than popularity.

Lincoln Lockheed Constellation - BOAC, 1/140, 102

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good-

Sold   

In 1956/57, Lincoln leased or purchased some Hawk molds and this Constellation is one of those. Nicely done 1/140 scale model with full color BOAC decals. The kit has never been started. The small parts are still in the factory internal sealed bag and the larger parts that were never sealed are inventoried 1 complete including decals and instructions. Lincoln International was based in Hong Kong. Plastic kits were not the primary business, but they established quite a line of them before discontinuing production in the late 1960s/early 1970s. Many molds moved to Kader, also in Hong Kong, who reissued the line. Many molds eventually found their way to the USA either through ATP (who purchased the excess kit stock when Kader sold out) or IM.

Berkeley Sinbad 40 - 40 Inch Wingspan Towline Launched Glider

Wood Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good

Sold   

Excellent kit dated 1946 on the plans and is from the older West Hempstead NY address. Part of the famous 'Sinbad' series tow-line gliders from Berkeley, this is most likely a mid 1950s issue. Includes the patented 'Spiral/Tow Control' rudder system. Big 40 inch wingspan - idea for RC. Features all die cut parts, full size plans and silk-span covering. The model has not been started. NOTE: all parts have been punched out neatly by an adult. A complete inventory was done and it is missing R2 and 1 tiny gusset - both are easily made and represented full size on the plans. Otherwise complete with all other parts, clear windshield material, balsa blocks, covering material and excellent plans/instructions. Berkeley is a very famous manufacturer of flying model kits from the Golden Age of flying aviation, about 1932-1954. Founded in 1933 by William Effinger, the company was quite progressive in producing quality kits - it was likely the Berkeley 'Buccaneer' was the first gas powered model in kit form. In the later 1930s, Effinger acquired the services of a very talented Henry Struck. Struck went on to design numerous award-winning kits under the Berkeley name. Berkeley weathered the post WWII recession and emerged as a major kit producer in the late 1940 and 1950s. These were great years for Berkeley and they produced some incredible and large kits. The company went bankrupt in about 1960 however. Fox engines (Duke Fox) bought the company and released the kits alongside his own FOX models and engines. This arrangement did not last, and in the early 1960s the Berkeley name disappeared from hobby shop shelves.

Aurora Cessna 310, 1/62, 283-50

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good-

Sold   

1963 issue from ex-Comet molds. Neatly molded with all recessed panel lines, clear side and front windows, tip tanks, rotating propellers, display stand and full pinstripe decals. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including decals and instructions. The box has damage/creases as shown, especially on the left top side. Aurora had started a line of inexpensive 29 cent kits in about 1957. The line was a success, and it was expanded. The line grew again when Aurora purchased the Comet molds, as most of Comet's line was very small scale kits, many of them civil aircraft like this one. It appears that Aurora was encouraged by the sale of the ex-Comet civil aircraft, as it expanded the line with it's own molds in the early 1960s.

Greenbank Ryan M-1 Mailplane - (Hisso or J-4B) Colorado Airways or Pacific Air Transport - Bagged, 1/72, 31-195

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Sealed Fair++

Sold   

Still factory sealed but the paper header has damage as shown. The instructions are fine. Very rare kit. Has optional parts to build one of two versions, the Hisso or J-4b powered. Complete injection molded kit in two colors with rubber wheels, full decals for US Mail-Colorado Airways or Pacific Air Transport Air Mail, instructions and painting guide. The M-1 holds two very special places in American Aviation History. First, it is the first production monoplane and played a key roll in early airmail. In the 1920s, Government contracts for flying airmail on a $/mile basis was about the only thing keeping commercial aviation alive and growing. In 1926, the M-1 was the first aircraft to fly with PAT, Pacific Air Transport. PAT linked Seattle to LA with mail contracts. The other unique item is that this was the Ryan NYPs (Lindbergh's aircraft) father. When Lindy visited Ryan in 1927, he flew the M-1. He requested an airplane that was similar but larger - thus the NYP was born and aviation history was made.
