Features dramatic show-car styling, full interior and dash, driver and passenger figures, clear 'bubble' canopy, rotating wheels, chrome front and rear bumper, emblem and side trim and more. Molded in mint green (like the box art) and clear plastic. Ford created the Lincoln Futura as a concept car to promote Lincoln. The designers were Ford lead stylists John Jajjar and Bill Schmidt. Unlike many concept cars, this one was fully operational. The basis of the chassis was the Continental Mark II and she was powered by a 368 cubic inch Lincoln engine and powertrain. The car was hand built by Ghia iin Italy and originally cost $250,000, or about $2.3 million in modern USD. The car was a big success for Ford and brought significant recognition in toys, movies and the show circuit. It was first displayed in 1955. When Ford was done, they sold the car to George Barris for $1. Because it was never titled and could not insured, Barris parked it behind the shop. However, in 1966 Barris was asked to make a car for the Batman TV series. Dean Jefferies was originally contracted with, but he could not make the car in time. Barris thought the Futura would make a fine basis for the Batmobile, and so it did. Barris always retained ownership of the car, leasing it to the studio for filming. In 2013 he sold the car to a collector for 4.62 Million US Dollars.

$8
Ex-Soviet Union kit that is very well molded for that time with very fine detail and hull drain holes. Full hull model measures 4.5 inches long when assembled and includes display stand and decals. The kit has never been started. The parts are either inventoried complete or still in the internal factory sealed bags, which is attached to cardstock that is folded in two.

Aurora Rockwell 1121 Jet Commander, 1/72, 85-100
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
$79
1968 issue hardbox issue and a nice kit for that time.

Includes optional position landing gear and colorful decals. NOTE: this kit has very minor and 'professional' quality subassembly as follows: engines are assembled. There is no other assembly. The aircraft has been inventoried with all parts present and includes decals and instructions. The decals are bright, 100% intact but have some age micro-cracking.The Jet Commander was the jet-powered follow-on to the famous Aero Commander twin private aircraft. But shortly after 1121 delivery began in 1965, Rockwell bought Aero Commander. The 1121 was competition for the Rockwell Sabreliner business jet in the same class, so Rockwell sold the Jet Commander to IAI. Famous nicknames assigned to the early 1121s included the familiar 'ground pounder', 'lead sled' and more unique 'Jet Commode'. Initial releases under IAI were called the 1123. Improvements to the 1123 design lead to the IAI 1124 Westwind powered by Garrett 731 fan engines. I won't recount here all of the nicknames for the IAI Jet Commanders...but the most printable include "Bagel Bomber" and "Yom Kippur Clipper." Legend has it that these molds were lost and/or destroyed in a train wreck. Monogram bought Aurora's molds and was transporting them to the Monogram factory when the accident happened.
Aurora Focke-Wulf Fw-190 Famous Fighters of All Nations, 1/48, 30A-69
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc++
$325
Very Rare and even more so in the condition. This is the seldom seen true second issue of this kit from 1955 and is harder to find than the first issue because it was quickly pulled and replaced with the 'Iron Cross' on the tail. Aurora quickly discovered that they could not sell the kit in much of Europe due to a ban on the offense swastika, so they made a quick box art and decal change. This the box is larger than the first issue, has the colorful 'Northern Lights' rectangle logo on the right side, new text size and arrangement and the swastika on the tail. The box grades 'Excellent++' and has factory-new color and gloss, four solid corners, no repairs, no fading, rips or tears, no missing litho, no price tags or tape and no marks from either (other than the factory sealing tape, of course). Flaws include a light crease at the far right as shown and some light scuffs on the side panels. Inside, the kit is 100% correct; it is molded in the correct gloss black and clear plastic with the early rectangular clear stand, correct decal sheet with the swastika and the correct early logo instructions showing this stand. It even includes the original factory tissue paper and a very colorful early logo add for the Aurora Plastic Wall Bracket Display. The decals and instructions are both in amazing 'Near Mint+' condition. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present.
