Tamiya M40 Big Shot Self Propelled Gun Motorized Remote Control - (M-40 SSP Artillery 155mm), 1/21, DTW102-1498
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
$450
Very, very rare and especially in this condition - never used, internally sealed and with a 'good+' condition box. From about 1963 and features incredible box art on a high-gloss box top. This large 1/21 scale model features a chassis nearly 11 inches long, is highly detailed and loaded with operating features - about the only thing it does not do is shoot. Fully motorized with two large RE-36 electric motors working through an all-metal gear box with metal gears for full differential drive through a hand-held remote control unit which is included. You can command the tank to forward or backward movement, big or small right turn and big or small left turns. All bogies and rollers are fully operational. The gun elevates by rotating the scale handle which operates through a rather amazing set of gears, the barrel elevation pistons are operational with a simulation of hydraulic resistance inside, gun breech opens and closes, several hatches open and close and much more. Inside, the kit has not been started. Every part that was factory sealed is still sealed in the factory bag with the correct M40 paper headers in 'excellent' or better condition. The parts that were not sealed (2 motors, hull top and bottom, tracks and remote control body) are inventoried complete. Even the internal box reinforcement cardboard parts are present and the center 'tray' is still factory stapled to the box bottom. Decals are still factory bag sealed and in 'very good' condition with the usually yellowing being the only flaw. The instructions are 'near mint.' One track is flexible and mint but NOTE: the second track is brittle and broken into many parts.

WWS IJN Kaga Battleship, 1/700
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
$95
Very rare and the only way to build this ship in the planned configuration. This is a model of Kaga if she would have been completed to her original battleship configuration. This kit includes an excellent high-definition resin waterline hull, cast resin upper deck, main turrets, barbettes for all four main turrets,, 6 levels of main forward superstructure, and funnel with cap. Also includes cast metal main guns. Includes photocopied photographs of the ship being built, side and top elevations of the design and some instructions, which are mainly in Japanese but give you an illustration of the most important thing - how to build the forward superstructure. Never started. All of the small parts are still in the factory sealed bags and the hull is in mint condition. Please NOTE that like many of the WWS models, this is a 'craftsman kit' and a good spares box, a donor kit and even some scratch building may be required. For detail parts I recommend any 1/700 kit of a mid-war Japanese battleship as well as Skywave's superb "Equipment For Japan Navy Ship WWII" series.
