Enterprise Cycle Miniatures Old High Wheeler Bicycle, 1/15, B1

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Exc

Sold   

Very rare. Enterprise was a very successful maker of balsa wood free-flight and control line aircraft models dating well back into the 1930s. In the early 1950s modeling started to change and the Gowland/Revell 'Highway Pioneers' got the attention of Enterprise staff. Enterprise maintained it's own museum of rare and extraordinary old time bicycles, so it only seemed natural that the first (and only) two plastic kits from the company would represent bikes. This model is of the High Wheeler, based on the 'Columbia' of 1979 and is very nicely molded and detailed for the time. It includes a display base also. This model and a 'Tandem' were issued in 1954 but did not sell well; production was discontinued after a short run. The kit has never been started. All parts are still sealed in the 'krinkle' bag. The instructions are mint and contain and excellent 'History of the Bicycle' on one side and detailed, illustrated assembly instructions on the other side.

Revell Mickey Thompsons Challenger I - World's Fastest Car 406.6 MPH, 1/25, H1281-198

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good

Sold   

Original issue hardbox dated 1962. Not the common reissue. When released that year, it was a revolutionary kit that broke new ground in 1/25 level of detail. In Tom Graham's interviews with Jim Keeler, the kit designer, the molds cost $80,000 in 1961 - twice that of a normal car kit. To design the kit, Thompson's mechanics gave the Revell team full run of the vehicle and even disassembled it for them. The kit features removable boy panels, four super detailed Pontiac V-8 engines with 18 parts each, complete chassis, suspension and drive train detail, water tanks, fuel tanks, parachute holder, cockpit and much more. The level of detail is astounding. Molded in correct gloss baby blue, silver, chrome plated and with rubber tires. NOTE: this kit has minor and very neat assembly. The engine blocks/heads/intake manifold/fuel pumps have been assembled. The transmission halves/bellhousing/tranny mounts are also assembled. Quality of assembly ranges from 'professional' to 'excellent++' with no gaps, perfect alignment and no to very little glue showing. There is no other assembly and zero painting. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions.

Suydam Union Ice Company With Cooling Tower and Icing Platform - Craftsman Kit, HO, 566

Wood Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good+

Sold   

Very well detailed. This is the deluxe, complete issue with all three kits included - the main factory, cooling tower and icing platform. The majority of the parts are wood stock cut to length, carved wood cut to shape and precolored, completely die-cut very heavy cardstock that is as thick as injection molded plastic parts. In addition there are metal ladders, clear windows with printed mullion detail, signs, etc. The kit has never been started. One bag of pre-cut wood parts is still factory sealed; another bag with the signs, windows, etc is still factory sealed; all the factory cut-to-length stock is still in the factory rubber bands; the '300 lb ice cakes' are still in the factory sealed bag; none of the die-cut stock parts have been removed, so they are in mint condition. That leaves just one wooden parts bag - it has been opened. It appears to be complete as best I can tell; however, it was impossible to inventory it properly since all the other bags of small wood parts are still sealed. So something may be missing from this one bag; the good news is that it is made from wood and can be easily made from the instructions. Includes three sheets of instructions.

Jim Shirley Productions USS Arsenal Ship / SC-21, 1/700, JSP029

Resin Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG++

Sold   

The Arsenal Ship was (and is) a fantastic concept with 500 or more VLS tubes and a length of up to 800 feet. Such a ship could be used to inflict sever losses on enemy ground units during mass operations much faster than aircraft could, and would of course be a huge asset in attacking any larger, well defended surface force. This is an excellent model done in high definition resin and measuring almost 14 inches long when assembled. The kit has never been started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes instructions.
