Aurora Sopwith Camel - Red Dot Issue, 1/48, 102-69

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Exc-

Sold   

Very rare variation of the first issue from 1956 with Northern Lights logo. Please note that the 69 cent price circle is red; this kit is rarely seen. The large rectangular 'Northern Lights' logo was only used for this one year and in 1957 it was replaced by the 'Famous Fighters' Oval Sunburst. The box artist on this issue is Jim Cox, one of the first if not the first box artist for Aurora. This kit is part of a very successful WWI aircraft line in 1/48 scale that Aurora introduced this year. The line sold so well that kits were added to it into the 1960s. Molded in the glossy olive drab green and black. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present.

Aurora Fokker D-7 - (D-VII), 1/48, 106-79

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Sealed NM

Sold   

Rare and still factory sealed. This is the second issue of this kit. It retains the original 1956 Jim Cox art but the square 'Northern Lights' logo has been replaced by the Sunburst 'Famous Fighters' oval. The price extension is 79 cents with factory applied stickers; it is very likely that the printing under them is 69 cent extensions. The third issue is identical except for a printed (not a sticker) 79 cent extension. This kit was Aurora's 6th 1/48 scale World War I aircraft model. All six original kits were released in 1956. The line proved so popular that new models were added yearly into the 1960s.

Ideal Aeroplane & Supply Barquentine Sailing Ship - 12 Inch Long Wooden Model With Moulded Hull

Wood Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good-

Sold   

Rare ship model from 1930s that contains Ideal's revolutionary 'Premolded Hull.' Since carving the hull was by far the most difficult part of early ship modeling, Ideal created a thick-walled, completely formed, hollow hull made from a wood composite. Never started. Inside, the kit is exactly as it left the factory which means that all the parts are still 'factory tissue sealed.' As was the custom back then, workers would assembly the parts for a kit and wrap them in tissue paper in a unique way that ensured that all the parts would be 'sealed' and held in place. Whoever buys this kit will see the contents for the first time since it was packed at Ideal Aeroplane & Supply in New York well over 90 years ago. Ideal Aeroplane & Supply was one of the earliest aircraft model makers in the USA, marketing their first kit in 1911 and running a well-known storefront that sold materials as well as kits for early aeromodelers. What is less known is that they had a very large line of ship kits also. They ranged from one foot to several feet long and covered unique and popular civil subjects as well as warships and submarines of the period. The company was very innovative in introducing the Moulded Hull which cut assembly time by more than half by eliminating all hull carving, shaping and sanding. The builder could use it right out-of-the-box and immediately add the deck, superstructure, fittings and prime or paint. Ideal was also known for their excellent, full size multi-view plans that includes many assembly notes, rigging diagrams, tips, additional detail drawings and much more. Often there was even a detailed painting guide.
