Revell Space Station by Scientist Ellwyn E. Angle - 'S' Kit, 1/96, H1805-498

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: NM

Sold   

The Holy Grail of old Revell models in investment grade condition. I have graded this box NM or 'Near Mint', which means that it has very few, very small flaws. The colors and gloss are flawless. The corners are solid. There has never been a price tag on the box. There is no fading, stains, repairs, touchups or creases. There are tape marks from the factory tape side seals but no tears. First and only issue dated 1959 of this large kit. The molds have been damaged which prevents a reissue. Highly detailed with many moving parts. Includes main space station with opening walls, airlocks, rotating top and bottom sections, rotating radar assembly and fully detailed interior. Interior includes sleeping quarters, living quarters, operations and laboratory areas, terrestrial and celestial observations rooms, conference and dining rooms and more. Also includes 4 other space ships that can be docked/un-docked and displayed with the space station - maintenance vehicle - space taxi - research vehicle and Space ship with airlock. Special large clear stand is included. Molded in the correct silver, teal green, black, orange and clear. Includes decals, instructions and science fiction booklet on how to operate the station. All are in excellent condition. This kit has never been started. It has been 100% inventoried complete with all parts, decals, operations handbook and instructions present. This kit must be shipped insured.

Monogram Speedee-Bilt Curtiss P-40F Warhawk Flying Scale Model Airplane, G15-100

Wood Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good+

Sold   

Second issue from 1957 in a two-piece hardbox. For the advanced Monogram collector. Completely pre-fabricated multi-media kit featuring pre-colored and die cut balsa wood, precarved balsa, finished Monofoil wing, plastic detail parts (such as cowl, three bladed prop and spinner, pilot bust, exhaust, wheels and more), clear vacuform canopy, sandpaper, tissue covering and rubber motor. Designed for rubber free flight or scale display. Never started and as new inside. Inventoried 100% complete with all wood and plastic parts, decals and instructions/plans. The small parts are still factory bag sealed. Before there were plastic models, there were wooden aircraft kits. These usually came in two types - solid and stick and tissue. The solid models were static and usually contained a few blocks of balsa and sometimes a detail part or two. These "Make Wood Look Like Plane" models required a very high level of skill in carving and finishing. The stick and tissue variety were slightly easier to build and provided the ultimate thrill - they could fly when complete with rubber power (and later with free-flight gas and eventually RC). They still required a great deal of skill, so manufacturers sought ways to make model building more accessible to everyone. One idea was pre-carving and/or prefabrication. This raised prices, naturally. Many manufacturers launched lines of 'easy' to build flying models but only Monogram succeeded in making an entire line at an affordable price that would actual fly. The original "Speedee-Bilt" kits were in one-piece two-color boxes. In the early 1950s, shortly before plastic kits were available, Monogram changed to the 'hardbox' with a lithographic slick glued to the top. Speedee-Bilt kits contained die cut and pre painted wooden parts, completely formed airfoil wings, carved wheels and numerous plastic details like cowling, pilot, missiles, prop and whatever was required. Assembly was by detailed full size plans and instructions. Monogram carried the Speedee-Bilt line for several years past it's prime and the advent of plastic kits, a testimony to the quality and popularity.
