Molded in white and clear. Never started. Inventoried and the aircraft itself is complete but NOTE: missing one (of 8) wheels for the missile carts.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
$169
Rare one-and-only 1960 issue that contains both the DH-4 and Curtis JN-4 Jenny.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
$79
Rare box art version and in very nice condition with good color, four solid corners, no fading, tears, tags, tape or marks from either. Light, general even wear is the only flaw. Hardbox is dated 1960 and it appears that this design was only issued for a few years at the most. There are two variations of this rare box - one with the Parents' Magazine mark and one without. The one without shows up the least, and that is this example. Molded in gloss olive drab and black. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions.

The box top would grade even higher than 'excellent++' but is graded as such because there is a very light stain on the top long side.
Athearn Rock Island F-7A and F-7B Freight Locomotives Genesis DCC Quick Plug Equipped - HO Scale, 1/87, G22084
Metal and Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: NM
$145
Superbly detailed Genesis issue powered A and B locomotives in excellent condition. Judging from the very slight wheel wear, these were run perhaps once or twice. There are no broken parts and each engine is 100% complete. I hesitate to call anything mint, so I will grade them both as 'near mint' condition. Not perfect, but close. Includes all three factory boxes (a box for each locomotive and the external sleeve for both those boxes), all the original factory plastic and dark gray foam packing and the following paperwork: (2) "FlyWheel Drive F-Unit" exploded diagrams and parts sheet and (2) "Athearn News" sign up sheets. I have no way to test these locomotives so they are sold as-is.
