Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
Sold
Rare early glossy box issue. Very well molded and detailed. The kit has never been started. Internal factory sealed bags including decals and instructions.

Maircraft Taylorcraft Solid Wood Model Airplane, 1/48, S-17
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc+
Sold
Maircraft was originally founded in the early or mid 1930s by Gordon Christoph and went by the name Aircraft Model Company. The company produced a typical line of solid 'profile cut' kits that required the usual high talent levels for carving and finishing. A former Comet Model Airplane & Supply Co. salesman, Jack Mair, bought the company in the early 1940s and renamed it Maircraft. This company was one of the handful of solid kit producers who issued models in a consistent 1/48 scale during the 1930s and 1940s (others included Hawk and Dyna-Model). This lead to one of the most desirable and rare model kits ever produced in the USA - the wood/plastic 1/48 United DC-3 model issued immediately after World War 2. Other than the P-61 and a few other Maircraft offerings, most were simple kits that sold for the low price of about 35 cents and gave the owners many hours of pleasurable work. This kit features a full size plan with instructions steps, fuselage that is about 80% cut, profile cut parts, printwood and a small bag of details. The model has not been started. The parts are either in factory sealed bag(s) or inventoried 100% complete with all parts and instructions.

Italy's 'Flying Fortress' was a large, attractive four engine bomber with the same full load weight as a B-17 with a top speed of 279 mph. Defensive armament was significant with 6 heavy and two light machines guns in powered, remote control and retractable turrets. The aircraft was well liked and featured excellent visibility, very docile handling and was very maneuverable. Kit features main vacuform parts of higher quality than many injection molded kits, all injection molded details, crystal clear canopies and full decals for the 'Bruno Mussolini' Squadron. Never started and inventoried 100% complete.

Please note that shipping insurance is required for this model due to the clear hull half.
Revell Bell P-39 Airacobra 'S' Kit, 1/45, H222-89
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Mint
Sold
Early Revell 'S' kit from about 1955-56 in investment grade condition. The box is has brilliant color and gloss with no flaws. Oddly enough, there are not even any factory tape marks. This is the second issue of this kit which has Japanese kill markings on the nose of the aircraft in the artwork. Richard Kishady did the famous painting for this kit and originally included German kill markings on the nose of the P-39. Very shortly after this, Revell began to export kits to Europe. Shortly after World War II, many European countries banned the swastika. Revell changed the box art to Japanese kill markings, making the kit legal to sell in those countries. Never started. 100% inventoried complete with all parts/decals and instructions present. Inside, the kit has never been started and is complete. All small parts are still sealed in the factory bag. The decals are flat and have very little yellowing. The instructions are mint. It would be difficult to find a better example of this early kit.
Aurora Convair B-36 Peacemaker Giant Bomber, 1/333, 492-49
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+
Sold
Second issue hardbox dated 1961 and with the Parents Magazine seal. Fantastic Jo Kotula artwork. Note the 'Famous Fighters' sunburst logo with the rectangular yellow background.

Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions.
Aurora Avro CF-100 Canuck All-Weather Fighter, 1/67, 137-100
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed VG+
Sold
Still factory sealed but the seal has drawn the box concave, primarily on the bottom. Fantastic Jo Kotula artwork. Box is dated 1960, but the oval logo without the 'Famous Fighters' and the 100 price extension would date this at about 1962 or slightly later.
Sterling Stinson Reliant SR-8 Gull Wing - 57 inch Wingspan Aircraft for RC, FS-33
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Sold
Very large and high quality kit with 57 9/16 inch wingspan. Designed for RC and .40 to .56 size engines, but easily converted to electric power. Features top grade die cut and numbered balsa parts, step by step full size plans with instructions, scale decals, linkage hardware, vacuform cowl, wheel pants, strut fairings, formed aluminum landing struts and much more. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including decals and instructions. Sterling was a famous manufacturer dating back to the 1930/40s flying model craze. Although they continued to produce kits for decades after the flying model slump following World War II, they eventually fell victim to the general lack of interest in modeling that occurred in the early 1980s. I always considered Sterling kits to be deluxe kits and they are still highly popular to this day.
Aurora AH-56A Cheyenne Copter - 1st Issue, 1/72, 502-130
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Fair
Sold
First issue hardbox from 1968. This is a kit from Aurora's excellent efforts of the late 1960s/early 1970s.

The molds were of much better quality, and this is one of those kits. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions.
