Kora Junkers Ju-88 H-1 - Long Range REconaissance - (Ju88H-1), 1/72, 7216
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
$95
Very rare. This excellent, limited edition model features main airframe parts in professional-grade resin castings, numerous photoetched parts on three brass frets, cast metal landing gear struts, very good cockpit, printed instruments and more. The kit has never been started. Most parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags; the ones that are not sealed have been inventoried complete and includes decals and instructions. Please note: the instructions provided by Kora do double duty for both the H-1 and H-2 kits. As a result, they show a parts layout for both. When you receive the kit, please remember that this is the H-1 version only; naturally it does not include any of the H-2 version parts. The small parts were very challenging to inventory as the parts diagram is very basic and crude; however, the correct number of parts is present.
Life-Like Circle A Chuck Wagon - (ex- Miniature Masterpiece / Revell / Adams), 1/48, 09680
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
$58
Excellent builder from the original 1950s molds. Very highly detailed model includes wagon, accessories, large display base and the animals and figures shown in the box art. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes 'Circle A' decals and instructions. Please note that the instructions have a factory printing flaw on the back and are 'smeared.' This kit has an interesting history. 'Miniature Masterpieces' was formed through an alliance of Lew Glaser (Revell) and Steve Adams (Adams Action Models) in 1953. Although the molds were made at Adams and it had the appearance of an independent company, the firm was run by Revell down to the prototypes being made at the Revell plant. Originally there was no evidence of the parent company on the surface. The State Coach of England was the first kit, issued in 1953. More kits of excellent quality followed. Revell completely took over the line in 1954 and in that year and the next, kits were labeled 'Revell' with a 'Miniature Masterpiece' label on the box top also. However, Adams broke the relationship with Revell in the later 1950s and began making kits under the Adams name in 1958 with the original molds. Life-Like acquired these Adams molds but not all Adams molds. This issue is from about 1976 and lists the former MM Chuck Wagon, Western Figures, Wells Fargo Stage coach as well as numerous Pyro and Palmer kits as being currently available.

$159
Very rare and from 1958. Best originally created the line of Indianapolis 500 Winner kits; Aurora purchased them shortly after their introduction and reissued them for a short time. The model features driver and mechanic figures, some interior detail, spoke wheels and very nice decals. Molded in white plastic with real rubber tires It has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts, decals and instructions. Please note that the box is 100% intact with no repairs, no split corners, tears or missing litho but is graded 'good-' because of the age foxing (brown tint) and general but very even wear as shown. Louis Schneider and 'Jigger Johnson' (driver and mechanic) drove the Bowes Seal Special to victory in 1931. The Miller Special had rear wheel drive, and eight cylinder 151.7 CID Miller engine and won the day averages 96.629 miles per hour. The track was dangerously unsafe that year due to a heavy drizzle that made driving over 80 mph dangerous - at one point, drivers were required to slow down to 80 mph and passing was not allowed other than the pit area. There were many spectacular accidents but the rain did relent and there were many speeds over 100 mph in the later part.

Imai Volkswagen Cabrio Beetle - Motorized / Working Headlights, 1/24, B882-1000
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed VG
$42
Still factory sealed. This model is unique because it is designed for motorization and also has provision for working head lights. Very nicely molded. The one piece body is usually molded in white. All other parts are molded in black, dark brown, clear and chrome plated plastic and with rubber tires. There is a full interior, optional convertible top in the 'up' position or a 'down' position boot, steerable front wheels and more. Although I cannot confirm it since the kit is still factory sealed, the motorizing hardware - metal axle, gear, contacts, wire, etc. is usually included. However, Imai did not normally furnish the common FA-130 motor or two small bulbs with this kit; they had to be purchased separately. HO or N gauge railroad bulbs would work perfectly.
