Guillows Albatros D-VA - 18 inch Wingspan Flying Airplane, WW-1
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Sold
One of a very popular line of World War 1 flying aircraft stick and tissue kits with 18 inch wingspan. Kit features scale plastic wheels, plastic propeller, light vacuform nose cowl, die cut balsa parts, covering tissue, rubber motor and full decals. Includes full size detailed plans. The model has not been started. The parts are either in factory sealed bag(s) or inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. Guillow's founder, Paul K. Guillow, was a WWI naval aviator. In 1926 he began producing wooden model airplane kits. His 'Shelf Models' were some of the earlier non-flying models in production. Guillow's grew during the model boom of the 1930s, and when the Depression hit the hardest, Guillow's responded with lower prices and became one of the low price leaders, frequently advertising in Model Airplane News and other leading publications. During the war, like most manufacturers, Guillow's was forced to alternative materials such as cardboard and pine. Guillow's survived the post WWII slump by creating many inexpensive profile flying rubber powered aircraft and gliders in the 1950s (along with North Pacific) which became famous - some are still available today. The stick and tissue lines have been updated with laser cut parts and are still in production as of 2009.
Aurora P-40 Warhawk Flying Tiger - Famous Fighters of All Nations, 1/48, 44A-69
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: NM+++
Sold
Most likely the third issue. From the mid-1950s. Box is in investment grade condition. This is the short-lived issue with the small square 'Aurora Line' logo, unique (to this issue) artwork and 'Famous Fighters of All Nations' logo. Glue for plastic kits was not available in stores early on, so Aurora often included a small but colorful tube of Aurora Cement with the kits. This kit still has that sealed tube in mint condition. Molded in gloss olive drab and clear with one piece wings. Has original rectangular clear stand. Never started. Factory sealed bag or inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions.
Bachmann Big Lot 'O 31 Bachmann Mini-Planes
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good to Sealed NM
Sold
Includes 31 factory-built, painted and decorated kits. Several are factory sealed or have never been removed from the box; the majority have been opened. These were adult owned and few if any were played with. Most have never been displayed but some clearly have some wear. As you probably know, the quality of the factory builds and markings on Bachmann mini-planes ranges from very nice to fairly sloppy; this collection is no exception. Over 90% are intact and not broken; the few with broken parts include the parts. There are about 29 airliners (DC-9s, Convair 880s, 727s, 747s, 707s, DC-10 and DC-8). There are some duplicates. Most of the boxes are correct; but some boxes do not contain the aircraft listed on the outside. All are various liveries and again there are some duplicates. There are two military aircraft, a Blue Angels F-4 Phantom II and a Thunderbirds T-38. Sold as-is.
