Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. NOTE: the box displays better than the 'VG+' grade but has sun fading on one short side - hence the 'very good+' grade.

Paramount Boeing 727 -100 JAL 'Tone' Old Livery, 1/220, 6005-100
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
$42
Rare kit from Otaki molds. It represents an early 'short' 727 and features very fine raised detail, full landing gear, a display stand and stunning early JAL full color decals just like the box art aircraft. This was back when airlines would name aircraft, and this one is 'Tone,' which is a river in Japan. The kit has never been started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. Paramount was based in Canada and sold kits from the mid 1960s to the early 1970s when they shut down. This exact kit lists Pawtucket, RI as the address with the contents made in Japan and the litho done in Canada. Most if not all of the kits were from older Otaki, Sanwa, Nichimo or Marusan molds although some remain unidentified. Kits for sale in Canada has three digit part numbers, and those destined for the USA had four digit numbers.
Airfix Blackburn NA-39 Buccaneer - Type Two Issue, 1/72, 384
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Fair+
$27
Late 1950s Type 2 box issue. Kit features opening unique rotating bomb bay, folding wings and working arresting hook. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. The Buccaneer was the world's first purpose designed low level 'below the radar' bomber. Low level strike aircraft have a shorter airframe life limit due to the stresses of low level flying, so the Buccaneer was designed to be very strong and even had many sub-assemblies milled from solid metal.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc+
$52

It is a nicely done kit for that time, molded in gloss silver and clear with full landing gear and clear 'Triangle World Map' stand. Never started.

Aurora Grumman F9F Panther Jet, 1/49, 22-100
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
$65
Dated 1960, but I believe this is actually a later issue due to the 100 cent price extension and no 'Famous Fighters' logo on the short box sides. Molded in a brilliant gloss deep blue and clear with the clear triangle 'World' stand. These molds are from one of Aurora's first two kits - the F9F and F-90. Aurora simply went out and purchased the early Hawk F9F and F-90 kits and copied them almost exactly. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions.

$45
Still factory sealed but the seal has a split on both short sides. Box has a 1956 date on it, but this a 1960s issue hardbox. Most likely from 1963+ because of the simplified Aurora logo and $1 price extension on the part number.
