Revell 1953 MG Model TD - Highway Pioneers Series 4, 1/32, H52-69
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++
Sold
1953 early issue from the 'Foreign Car Models' collection molded in ivory plastic. The kit has not been started. It is still internally sealed in the factory 'crinkle' bag with the instructions. Before the 1950s 'model building' never made the top 10 list of boy's activities. Hobbies were nothing new to America in the 1930s/40s, but they were not mainstream. Shortly after the turn of the century, many dedicated modelers built flying or static airplanes, ship, train, automotive or other subjects. Basic kits existed, but the majority of these models were built from scratch, which demanded a high talent level developed from years of experience. That changed in the early 1950s. The phenomenon of the Revell/Gowland & Gowland 'Highway Pioneers' car kits was a significant force in proving that model building as a hobby could have mass appeal, provided that the kits were easy enough to build and finish. These 1/32 scale vehicles could be built in an hour after dinner and looked much like the real car. The Highway Pioneers series lead to the production of other subjects in plastic and the effect was revolutionary. By the early 1960s, model building was the #1 past time of American boys.

Vacuform Model Kit, Box Condition: Fair-
Sold
Vacuform kit with some metal parts. Good moldings with some recessed detail. This kit has not been started and has been inventoried complete with all parts. Not recommended for builders who are not experienced with vacuform kits. The Ju-352 was similar to the Ju-252. It was designed as a transport using non-strategic materials. The result was an aircraft better than the Ju-52 but not superior to the '252. The aircraft had a large drive-on loading ramp on the back. KG 200 got all of the Ju-352s. At least one was captured by Soviet forces and Stalin used one for his personal aircraft. About 45 were built total before the war caused the project to be abandoned.
