Renwal USS Washington Battleship BB-56, 1/500, S608-169
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
$125
Late 1950s rare first issue of this very high quality, full-hull kit. Features a one piece hull, nine individually elevating 16" guns, rotating main and secondary turrets, fully detailed forward and aft island structures with radar, gun directors and range finders, individually molded 20mm guns with shields, helicopter, full rudder and propeller detail, detailed deck, flag sheet and full decals including draft markings. Never started. Inventoried and NOTE: missing one part, the #45 jackstaff. Easily made from wire or pulled sprue as it is simply a flag pole. Includes all other parts, decals and instructions. The decals are flat, 100% intact and in 'excellent' condition but the white and black colors are off-register. If you want to build the model, I recommend the superb Starfighter Decals 1/500 Cold War Cruisers which has multiple sizes of hull numbers in large quantities and much more.

Estes Apollo Saturn V Flying Scale Model, 1/100, K-36
Multimedia Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed NM++
$225
Still factory sealed and very rare in an amazing, investment grade 'Sealed Near Mint++' box. This is the finest K-36 issue that I have seen and it came from the stock of a long-closed hobby shop. It was never put out for sale and never saw the light of day until now. The seal is 100% intact with no splits. The colors are perfect and factory fresh. The box top has no fading or dents. All four corners are crisp and as they left the factory. There has never been any tape, stickers or price tags on this box. The box top has one very light and short (1 inch) crease at the lower right corner; however, it is so indistinguishable that it did not show up in the photo. The box bottom does have one minor crease that looks like it happened at the factory. This is the Saturn V that is 43.25 inches high and 3.93 inches in diameter. Recommended engine is the D12-3 or three C6-3; includes Technical Report TR-6 on Engine Clustering. Please NOTE that this kit must be shipped along (with no other kits that could damage it) and in a double box to preserve the condition.

Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, vinyl material, decals and instructions. NOTE: box looks better than the 'fair' grade but it is graded that low because there is a large stain and box damage to the lower left long side and short left side of the box top. Additionally, there is identical damage to the tray (lower box) and I would grade it 'fair-.' NOTE: the instructions have only very minor bug damage but the decals have significant damage and are only 70% intact (about 30% destroyed).
