Renwal MIM-3 Nike Ajax Anti-Aircraft Guided Missile - With Launcher and Crew, 1/32, M550-149
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc++
$149
Fantastic kit from the 1950s in and rare a 'excellent++' condition box with factory-new colors and gloss, four solid corners with no repairs, zero tape or tape marks (except the factory sealing tape of course), no fading and no missing or torn litho. Flaws include a small amount of light edge and general wear. Classic box art showing the Nike Ajax blowing up what appears to be a B-17 over an American city. This is an excellent model for that time that still rates well today. Features detailed missile with separating states, operating control surfaces, operating launcher and more. The launcher is designed to connect other models to form an entire Nike Ajax Battery for the ultimate diorama. Molded in olive drab and white. The model has never been started.

Aurora Messerschmitt Me-109 - Brooklyn Issue Bf-109 - Famous Fighters of All Nations, 1/48, 55-59
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
$429
Very rare first issue. Of Aurora's 'Original Brooklyn 8,' this is usually considered the hardest one to find. Inside, the kit is 100% correct with no rivet detail, no bombs and no landing gear. The color is the unique first run non-metallic medium red with clear canopy and stand. The stand is the correct square one marked 'Brooklyn.' The instructions are correct Brooklyn also, and the decals are the proper early 'Tatem Company' issue with the swastika. The box has very good color and gloss, no fading, no tears, no price tags or tag damage, no tape (except for the factory sealing tape, of course) and is 100% intact with no split corners or repairs but only grades 'good' due to the scuffing on the left top side as shown, the litho chips (to the left of 'scale', below 'model' and on the far right lower corner as shown) and some small similar chips on the sides. This kit has never been started. It has been inventoried 100% complete with all parts in perfect condition, amazing 'near mint' decals (best I have ever seen on a Brooklyn issue and 'very good++' instructions with yellowing as the main flaw. This kit must be shipped double boxed and insured.
Bluejacket Smuggler 1877 Gloucester Schooner - 33 Inch Long Wooden Ship Model - O Scale, 1/48, 1012
Wood and Metal Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
$295
A superb model that sells new for $340. Of all aspects of New England fishing in the late 19th century, none was more distinctive than the mackerel purse-seine fishery with it's specialized gear, exacting techniques and fast, handsome schoolers built specifically for this seasonal work. Smuggler, with her extreme clipper hull, was one of the most beautiful of them all. This is a wood and metal model of the highest quality. When assembled, it measures 33 inches long and 25.5 inches high. Features a pre-carved basswood hull, laser cut hardwood parts, finely cast Britannia pewter fittings, all materials needed for deckhouses, spars and rigging material as well as three sheets of superb full-size plans. The kit has never been started. All parts are still in the factory sealed internal bags and includes plans (in mint condition) and the large instruction book (which is slightly used, it looks to have been studied). NOTE: unless you specify otherwise, this kit will ship in the original (very sturdy) model box wrapped in brown paper. If you specify, I will be glad to pack it inside a box but extra shipping will apply.
