Aurora N-156 Freedom Fighter - (F-5), 1/48, 140-98

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Exc+

Sold   

First issue hardbox is dated 1962 with fantastic Jo Kotula box artwork. This kit is a very good representation of the rare 'Freedom Fighter' prototype N-156. It developed into the F-5, which was widely exported and saw service in over 30 countries. Only three of the N-156 prototypes were built. The design centered around two GE J85 turbojets which originally powered the ADM-20 Quail decoy carried by the B-52 fleet. Initially there seemed to be little demand until President Kennedy's Military Assistance Program required a low-cost fighter that could be provided to US Allies. The N-156 was easily the top choice. It was renamed the F-5 and the rest is history - it became one of the most widely used fighter/bombers in post-WWII history and is still in service in some air forces. This kit features a pilot figure, 'good' cockpit, three drop tanks, early AIM-9 Sidewinder Air-to-Air Missiles and more. Includes the famous Aurora clear triangle-based 'world map' stand. Molded in white and clear. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present.

Huma Model THREE Messerschmitt Me-263 / Ju-248, 1/72, 2507

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Sealed NM

Sold   

Still factory sealed. The Me-263 was designed to correct some of the Me-163s shortcomings. The ideas were tested on '163s before the first '263 airframe was assembled. Primary differences included lengthen fuselage for increased fuel capacity, pressurized cockpit, dual chamber (full and cruise) rocket engine, bubble canopy and retractable gear. Only two were built and it seems that she never flew under her own power.

Revell Convair 990 Coronado Swissair - Jet Airliner - Lodela Issue, 1/135, H254

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Exc++

Sold   

Revell Lodela issue from the early to mid 1960s. This is a very nice kit of the fantastic Mach .91 airliner from the early 1960s. Two were flown by NASA well into the 1990s due the remarkable engineering (and NASA maintenance). NOTE: this kit has very minor and 'professional' quality sub-assembly as follows: four engines built. There is no other assembly. Inventoried with all parts present and includes decals (in excellent+++ condition) and instructions present. The Convair 990 and its near sister, the 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.

Sold   

Very rare. True 1/12 scale flying or display model kit from the 1930s or very early 1940.

The limited production and sales have made all Miniature Aircraft kits rare and valuable today. The model has not been started. Includes high-quality printed balsa sheets, a beautiful aluminum cowl, a very light-weight scale engine that is factory painted, pre-cut spars & strip stock, fully formed wheels, 2D cut wheel pants, beautiful hardwood scale propeller, clear windshield material, a paper envelope of metal hardware, three color insignia sheets and a large glass bottle of a dried up liquid, most likely glue. Includes a set of beautifully drawn full-size plans with instructions. The box is actually complete, but is graded as 'fair' because is has many closed splits that have been taped and age staining on the top as shown.
