MPM Misubishi J8M1 (Japanese Me-163 Comet), 1/72, 72037
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good++
Sold
Well molded injection kit with fine recessed panel lines, photoetched details and an very good cockpit. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. The Japanese copy of the Me-163 Komet was a last ditch attempt to stop the B-29 raids. Gliding tests went well, but on it's first powered flight, the motor quit and the aircraft crashed. The end of the war stopped further development.

WWS Unknown Battleship Design Imperial Japanese Navy, 1/700, 6
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+
Sold
Unusual subject that appears to be a Japanese battleship or battlecruiser design that did not go beyond the drawing boards. I am not certain of this, however. NOTE: this kit is not complete. To complete it I would purchase a 1/700 FUSO or the like. This kit has a very low piece count from the factory, like most models of 'proposed' (never built) ships. The instructions are 5 pages but all in Japanese. The 5th page has assembly illustrations. I can say for sure that (2) of the (5) turrets are missing along with the main gun barrels and the front superstructure. The two missing turrets are identical to the 3 turrets that are present. There may be other small parts missing as well, such as searchlight platforms, etc. Again, another 1/700 early IJN battleship kit would go a long way to make this whole. Never started and sold 'as is.'
Tri-ang HMS Queen Elizabeth
Metal Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+
Sold
Factory built and painted; not an assembly kit. Part of the famous ocean liner series from Tri-ang. This example is very nice, with all original paint in fine condition and with the original masts and funnels. Usually the masts are missing and the funnels are warped, but not with this example. The paint shows light wear as shown but displays very well. There is no box, and it will be shipped with the masts removed for safety. They simply slide back into the deck holes.
