StromBecker Piper Cub Super Cruiser - Piper PA-12 / J-5, 1/48, C-34
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
$110
Rare 1/48 scale model of the seldom-seen Super Cruiser. This kit is from the 1950s. StromBecker was famous for this line of precarved hardwood kits. The parts are all top-quality hardwood - no balsa. Builds to an impressive display model. Features a completely carved hardwood fuselage and wing, hardwood die-cut horizontal and vertical stabilizers, sanding stick, sandpaper, Casco Casein Glue in a sealed envelope, decals and full instructions. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts, decals and instructions. Before plastic kits were introduced, Strombecker was famous as the premier hardwood preshaped model manufacturer. In the 1940s and 1950s, Strombecker kits were flawlessly engineered but not inexpensive. All wooden parts are hardwood and are precarved to shape - you only had to glue, sand and paint to finish them.

Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
$59
Sells for $79 new. Features a beautifully cast full hull & superstructure, smaller resin details, a good size fret with numerous PE details and metal stock as required. This kit has never been started. All of the parts are still in the original factory sealed small parts bag and PE envelope. NOTE: Missing instructions. Iron Shipwrights is still in business and produces this model; they are known for having the best customer service in the business, so it is likely that you can get the instructions from them. Otherwise, it's a fairly simply kit and a good set of plans may suffice.
Aurora Cunningham Sports Car, 1/32, 515-49
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good

Aurora Jaguar XK-120 Roadster, 1/32, 512-49
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Fair++
$55
Dated 1961 and part of the popular Aurora 1/32 scale automobile line. Features one-piece body, interior detail and rolling wheels. Molded in ivory plastic and with rubber tires. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes instructions. The box has bug damage to the litho 'slick' as shown on the top and also on all four sides. The instructions are confusing as they show four outer wheels then four more outer wheels but they are not labeled on the instructions...also, there is no place for them on the sprues. Therefore I believe they are a mistake on the instructions.
Revell SMS Seeadler With 'S' Glue - German WWI Commerce Raider - (Sea Eagle), 1/232, H382-298
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc++
$225
Rare 1960 hardbox first issue and ever rarer in this condition. The 'Excellent++' condition box features great framable John Steel artwork. Inside, it even contains a factory-wrapped very colorful metal tube of 'S' glue as well as a history of the Seeadler, a message from Count Luckner, a map of the journey and locations & names of all the ships sunk by the raider. This is a kit of a fantastic subject, the famous WWI sailing commerce raider of Count Felix Von Luckner. It is a very well detailed model for that time and has a full hull, display stand, detailed deck houses and deck fittings, davits and ship's boats, guns, fife rails, preformed rat lines, rigging material, rigging instructions and much more. Molded in gray, brown & black plastic. Never started. It has been inventoried 100% complete with all parts and includes the flag sheet and instructions. The SMS Seeadler was a unique WWI raider in that it was not designed to elude the British blockade and break out to sea...it was designed to pass right through the blockade within full view of the British before attacking allied shipping around the world. No detail was overlooked in the Seeadler's preparation, right down to a Norwegian-speaking crew. The plan went perfectly - and the Seeadler passed inspection at the British Blockade. Her non-threatening appearance helped her in an active and colorful raiding career that nearly went around the world. I highly recommend reading any of several books that you can find about this ship. Von Luckner himself became quite a celebrity for his exciting exploits.

Jo-Han 1961 Plymouth Fury 2 Door Hardtop 3 in 1 - Custom / Stock / Racing, 1/25, 2361-139
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good

The box is only 'good' because there is bug litho damage which is centered mainly around the edges; there is more on the lower long side than on the top. Please NOTE that on these and other early Jo-Han car kits that the decals pictured on the side are not always the decals that Jo-han placed inside. Jo-Han used more than one generic decal sheet and some of them for at least two years. It also seems that in the early years they used about whatever was laying around, probably as a cost-saving measure. The decal sheet in this kit has does match some of the transfers shown on the box side picture but not all of them.
