Cleveland Vought F7U Cutlass Simplex Flying Aircraft - 15 Inch Wingspan, S-123
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Sold
Rare kit from the early 1950s. The Simplex line was designed for those who wanted true scale appearance but wanted to get into the air faster. They were not 'simple' as the name implies, but they were easier than the tedious but very realistic 1/16 scale Cleveland offerings. This kit features shaped and cut out parts, quality die-cut printwood, carved nose, clear vacuform canopy, a factory sealed wax bag containing fully formed wheels, factory-bent gear struts (main and nose), full color decals and Cleveland's superior plans with all drawings and detailed text instructions for building and flying. The kit has not been started. The actual model and plans are complete and excellent but NOTE: The decals are a partial sheet; the USA national insignia is missing but the rest are present.

I have seen this model built and it is a beautiful large-scale representation of the ship. Measures 16 inches long when built. The kit has never been started. Complete with all parts, decals and instructions/plans. Even includes the original sandpaper.

Revell 1913 Mercer Raceabout Highway Pioneers, 1/32, H104
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Sold
1959 Issue from Revell of Great Britain Ltd. By 1959 the Highways Pioneers marketing presentation had been greatly improved - note the box with specific artwork for this car, greatly improved box top side panel decoration and the instructions are now step-by-step and very well illustrated. The kit is molded in yellow plastic. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes instructions. Before the 1950s 'model building' never made the top 10 list of boy's activities. Hobbies were nothing new to America in the 1930s/40s, but they were not mainstream. Shortly after the turn of the century, many dedicated modelers built flying or static airplanes, ship, train, automotive or other subjects. Basic kits existed, but the majority of these models were built from scratch, which demanded a high talent level developed from years of experience. That changed in the early 1950s. The phenomenon of the Revell/Gowland & Gowland 'Highway Pioneers' car kits was a significant force in proving that model building as a hobby could have mass appeal, provided that the kits were easy enough to build and finish. These 1/32 scale vehicles could be built in an hour after dinner and looked much like the real car. The Highway Pioneers series lead to the production of other subjects in plastic and the effect was revolutionary. By the early 1960s, model building was the #1 past time of American boys.

UPC did not cut their own molds, but bought kits already molded from other manufacturers and re-boxed the kits in the USA. Scott Eidson, the famous artist best known for his artwork with Revell, also did UPC box art in the 1960s. All UPC production ended in the 1970s.

Wood and Metal Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Sold
Excellent, large scale kit.

The kit has never been started and is 99% complete. Includes hull, all wooden parts and may be missing some fittings. I say 'may' because there is a factory note inside that says "Due to a shortage of strategic material, we have been force to discontinue our complete fittings set." They do, however, provide a complete fittings list so you know what you need. I have inventoried the fittings against the list and very few are gone. You will need to provide the following: grate, two tiny eyebolts, 1 davit, one prop, 2 lifeboats and one ladder. The rest are present.
