Minicraft 1901 De Dion Bouton Automobile - (ex Entex / Bandai / Union), 1/16, 1521
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+

In 1901, Count Albert de Dion and M. George Bouton produced a remarkable engine that produced 3/4 horsepower at 1800 rpm. This was double the speed of the then famous Daimler 'High Speed' engine. Upon hearing of the engine, Daimler's engine engineer said that the motor would not last but 1/2 the time of a 500 HP engine. However, many of the de Dions are still running today. At first, de Dion Bouton used the engine for tricycles (which were popular at the time) and sold the engine to other manufacturers. The company then decided to make the first "people's car" that was affordable and easy to drive - the Type G was the result. It was powered by a water cooled engine of 4.5 HP and used a constant mesh gear system and famous 'de Dion axle', which was still used by sports cars into the 1970s. The car had a top speed of 26 MPH.

Revell Jupiter 'C' with Working Gantry - Elevator - Explorer Satellite and Crew - 'S' Issue, 1/100, H1819-198
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Sold
1958 first issue hardbox featuring some of my favorite 'S' box artwork. Not a reissue. Correct and original- molded in three colors to minimize painting. The box top displays much better than the 'good' rating. Color and gloss and excellent but there are two closed split corners, one tear on a short side (but no missing litho), tape marks on the long sides and the inside of the box top is spray-painted; they used it as tray for painting another kit. This kit is loaded with working features typical of kits at the time. The entire gantry tower folds back and moves on railroad base, the elevator moves to the four different work platforms and the Explorer Satellite can be removed from the Jupiter rocket. Includes crew of 7. Inside, the kit has never been started. Parts are molded in the correct red, medium gray and white. Carefully inventoried and 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present. Please NOTE that part 71 is broken as it usually is. However, all the parts are present and it is a straight-forward fix if you are building the kit.
