Hawk T-6 Texan Trainer Picture Gallery Issue, 1/72, 610-50
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good++
$29
1950s hard-to-find 'Picture Gallery' hardbox issue with unique artwork. Bill Campbell told me that he replaced this artist 'in an emergency' and that is how he got the job to do the Hawk box art for so many years. Very nicely molded in silver plastic with a clear green-tinted windshield and instructions and decals that are correct for this early release. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete including decals and instructions. Box displays very nice but has some bug damage to the litho on the sides.

Maircraft Heinkel He-100 Fighter - Solid Wood Model Airplane, 1/48, S6
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc+
$36
Maircraft was originally founded in the early or mid 1930s by Gordon Christoph and went by the name Aircraft Model Company. The company produced a typical line of solid 'profile cut' kits that required the usual high talent levels for carving and finishing. A former Comet Model Airplane & Supply Co. salesman, Jack Mair, bought the company in the early 1940s and renamed it Maircraft. This company was one of the handful of solid kit producers who issued models in a consistent 1/48 scale during the 1930s and 1940s (others included Hawk and Dyna-Model). This lead to one of the most desirable and rare model kits ever produced in the USA - the wood/plastic 1/48 United DC-3 model issued immediately after World War 2. Other than the P-61 and a few other Maircraft offerings, most were simple kits that sold for the low price of about 35 cents and gave the owners many hours of pleasurable work. This kit features a full size plan with instructions steps, fuselage that is about 80% cut, profile cut parts, printwood and a small bag of details. The model has not been started. The parts are either in factory sealed bag(s) or inventoried 100% complete with all parts and instructions.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
$18
Still factory sealed. 1960s bagged kit with header. The Hs-123 was the Luftwaffe's first in- service dive bomber and was built by the famous locomotive maker Henschel. The '123 had been replaced by the start of WWII by the Stuka, but demand continued for the aircraft and they were of great use in Belgium and France. During the terrible weather of the Russian campaign, the HS-123 once again found itself in demand. When conditions were so bad that other aircraft could not fly, the Hs-123 would often be in the air. The sturdy construction and good flying characteristics made it a favorite among pilots.
