Revell Lockheed F-94C Starfire Interceptor - Pre 'S' Issue, 1/56, H210-79
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
$74
1954 Pre-S issue. The box is solid and has excellent color and gloss but has the white tape remains as shown. The kit has never been started. Inside is is exactly as if left the factory; all small parts are still in the factory sealed bag, while the large parts have been inventoried complete including decals and instructions. Decals and instructions are in 'excellent++' condition with very light yellowing as the only flaw. This kit has a fascinating history The first issue was in the simple and thin one-piece box and Revell quickly converted to this two-piece box as it was much more durable and a full-color lithographed 'slick' could be used. For the second issue, Revell added rivet and raised panel line detail as well as landing gear, a two piece box and H210-79 kit number. The famous 'Globe' clear stand was added, but in this issue it had the rare one piece stand arm and the instructions reflected that. Revell quickly realized that the one-piece arm was not strong enough, and quickly modified it to the familiar three piece arm for the 3rd (this) issue. The kit went on to be reissued several more times with different box art and even Revell of Germany and England had European issues as well.

Alliance Nanchang Q-5 III, 1/72, 72013
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed NM
$28
Beautifully cast in high-definition resin. Features good cockpit, optional position landing gear, drop tanks and more. The Mig-19 (J-6) was the first successful jet aircraft built in Communist China, so it was no surprise when it served as the basis of a new strike/attack aircraft. The Chinese stretched the fuselage of the J-6 and repositioned the intakes to the cockpit sides, giving the aircraft a pointed nose. By early 1988 some 600 Q-5s were in service in China. North Korea received an significant number of them, but the first hard-currency customer was Pakistan, who at one point operated about 150 'Fantans.'

The parts are metal and injection molded plastic. There is no engine in this model but the hood can be removed. Underside detail is limited to the suspension & axles as well as what is molded into the underpan. Never started and all of the parts are still on the internal factory sealed colored cardboard blister displays and includes instructions. NOTE: the scale is approximate. The kit measures very close to 10 inches when assembled; I took the length of the actual car as 160 inches; hence the 1/16 scale. So I am anything but certain; so please do your own research and see if you agree with my numbers.
AV Models Yakovlev Yak-19 - Prototype Early Soviet Jet Fighter Aircraft, 1/72, AV109
Multimedia Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed NM
$54
Still factory sealed. Very rare and probably the only known model kit in any scale of this early Soviet Union jet. Very well molded kit with very fine recessed panel lines. The Yakovlev Yak-19 was a prototype Soviet fighter built in late 1940s. It was the first Soviet aircraft to be equipped with an afterburning turbojet, the Klimov RD-10F that was derived from the German Jumo 004 engine. Only two examples were built. The first prototype was ordered to a very demanding schedule and was completed on 29 November 1946. During the manufacturer's flight tests, the Yak-19 became the first Soviet aircraft to exceed 900 km/h. Major Sergei Anokhin was the primary test pilot and reported that the aircraft had pleasant and predictable flying characteristics and presented no difficulties for the average pilot. Before the testing was completed, Anokhin led the jets participating in the fly-past at Tushino Airfield on August 3, 1947. State acceptance tests began on 17 October, using the second prototype and did not go nearly as well. Trials finished on 30 January 1948 and the group of military test pilots concluded that the afterburner was unreliable, the aircraft was difficult to control in roll, the cockpit was deemed was too small and lacked sufficient armor and heating / ventilation. In the end, the Yak-19 was not be recommended for service. Rather than modify the aircraft to address these problems, Yakovlev chose to cancel it entirely in favor of the Yak-23 and Yak-25 fighters now under design/development.

Aurora Douglas M2 Mailplane - (M-2), 1/48, 111-98
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
$62
First issue with classic Joe Kotula artwork dated 1957. The kit is a very good depiction of this rare mail plane and is molded in a beautiful burgundy, black and clear. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present. This aircraft has a fascinating history. From the internet: The United States Post Office had been running the air mail service since 1918 mainly using variants of the de Havilland DH.4 biplane. In 1925, it decided to modernize and placed an order with Douglas for a replacement aircraft based on the Douglas O-2 observation biplane. The company modified an O-2 by covering over the forward cockpit to make a mail compartment and moving the pilot into what had been the observer's cockpit. The aircraft was designated the DAM-1 (Douglas Air-Mail-One) but this was soon shortened to M-1. The M-1 used the same Liberty engine as the DH.4, which was available in large numbers. Small modifications were made to the exhaust system to keep fumes away from the pilot and the design was considered a success, but was not ordered into production. When the Contract Air Mail (CAM) routes were introduced, the newly formed Western Air Express Company (later Western Airlines) ordered six mailplanes with the designation M-2. The main change from the M-1 was that the tunnel radiator was replaced with a frontal type. It also had the provision to carry a passenger instead of mail in the front cockpit. Just before Western Air Express introduced the aircraft into service (in April 1926 from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City), the Post Office ordered 50 aircraft designated M-3 for its major route network. The M-3 had only detailed differences from the M-2.
