AMT 1960 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible Promo, 1/25
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Sold
Rare. All original friction drive, metal chassis promo in stunning condition. It was obtained on March 4, 1965 by a very discriminating adult collector in Lexington, KY and has been in his possession until now. The paint is beautiful and glossy and the only flaws are light scratches in a few locations. A Pillars, vent frames and clear are in 'new' condition. Tires have zero wear and I do not believe this model was ever even displayed. Chrome is 'excellent' and there is minimal body warping. I would grade this one 8.5 out of 10, with 10 being perfect. The box is very old but I do not know if it is original or not.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc+

Molded in gloss silver and clear, with landing gear and missiles and the modified rectangular 'Brooklyn' style two-piece stand. With the correct Tatem decals and instructions which are both in exceptional near mint condition. Even the original tissue paper is present. The kit has never been started.

The second issue was also from Brooklyn and molded in gray with no landing gear or missiles but was in the new two-piece hardbox. The third official issue is the West Hempstead issue and is molded in silver with landing gear and missiles ('Brooklyn Gray' issues of this kit are confirmed to exist). This kit is the fourth issue.

Guano Aeroplane Ikarus IK-2, 1/72
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Sold
Rare. The IK-2 is the father of the fantastic IK-3. Both are of Yugoslav design and manufacture. IK2 and 3 saw service in WWII; IK-2s attacked German columns and IK-3s defended Beograd from the air. IK-2 was a superior design in that day. In mock dogfights in 1936, it out performed the Hawker Fury in a respects. The aircraft was all metal and heavily armed with two 20 mm cannon and two 7.92 mm machine guns. The kit features main airframe parts cast in high-definition resin with very fine panel detail, resin horizontal stabilizers and radiator, injection molded wheels pants, wheel hubs, tires and prop, resin pilot bust, clear vac windshield and many pages of instructions and drawings. Never started and inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and paperwork. Guano kits were designed and molded by Wesley Moore in Renton, Washington. From what I can tell, most if not all were marketed directly through him. This kit was sent directly from his home in a eraser box to the customer.
