Pyro 1911 Stevens-Duryea Tourer, 1/32, C453-125

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good++

Sold   

1967 Pyro issue from original molds. In the early to mid 1960s the Pyro company chose many of it's kit subjects based more on historical significance than popularity. Luckily for us, Pyro not only made these kits but did an excellent job for the time. The Pyro car models are based on the actual cars that Pyro engineers and designers had access to. In some cases, the specific car and owner is on the box - in this case the exact car was on display at the Auto Aviation Museum under the directorship of Mrs. Philip L. Sommerlad of the Western Reserve Historical Society, Cleveland, OH. The model includes rubber tires, brass plated parts, dark blue injection molded parts and clear parts. Features detailed chassis, complete motor and interior and a removable hood or 'bonnet'. NOTE: the engine block halves have been very neatly assembled. Quality of assembly is excellent with no gaps and no visible glue. There is no other assembly. The kit has been inventoried and is complete with all parts and instructions.

Monogram Speedee-Bilt Boeing PT-13 Kaydet Trainer Flying Scale Airplane, G5-100

Wood Model Kit,   Box Condition: Exc++++

Sold   

The first trainer standardized for the Air Force and Navy. Rubber-powered wooden scale flying model kit. 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 as this kit. Speedee-Bilt kits contained die cut and pre painted wooden parts, completely formed airfoil wings, carved wheels and numerous plastic details like cowlings, pilot, missiles, prop and more. Assembly was by detailed full size plans. Never started. Factory sealed bag or inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions.

The styling was revolutionary at the time. The car sported a large and powerful V-8 engine and air suspension. The interior was simply stunning, with upholstery combinations such as cashmere, nylon and leather in any number of patterns and styles and plenty of chrome trim. In the rear seat, there was a retractable armrest which contained a storage compartment fitted with a vanity, tissue dispenser, cigarette case and a large mirror. All these items, including custom perfume, were designed just for this car. At a price tag of $13,000 few were made but they are valuable classics today.

Resin Model Kit,   Box Condition: Sealed Exc+++

Sold   

Limited production 1/32 XP-82 kit designed and manufactured by Ken Friend. Ken had access to the actual XP prototype and factory manuals during the design of this kit. This model can be built in one of two ways. First, all parts are included to create a desk-top style 'in flight' factory display-style model. Second, you can create a highly detailed showpiece by adding landing gear, cockpit, and engine detail parts from the Dragon 1/32 P-51D, EP and F-6D variants or from aftermarket detail sets. The kit consists of resin parts (shown above), two clear vac canopies, full decals and a CD containing building instructions, a very large number of reference photographs and information from the original aircraft manuals. If you are building a fully detailed version with wheels down, cockpit detail etc, you will need 'donor' kits. This model was designed to use the Dragon 1/32 P-51 kits as they are reasonably priced and the parts used are accurate. You could use any aftermarket parts and cockpits that you wish - just keep in mind that it may cost more and require more fitting than the recommended Dragon donors. This kit has not been started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and a CD with reference photos and instructions for 'Display Model' version and 'Full' version.
