Best 1935 Gilmore Special Indianapolis 500 Winner - (Later Aurora), 1/30, 535-79
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++
$139
Very rare kit for the advanced collector. In the early 1950s Best Hobby Kits (Best Plastic Corporation of Brooklyn, NY) entered the infant USA plastic model kit market with a series of Indianapolis 500 winners. Six kits were issued - the 1920 Monroe Special, 1922 Murphy Special, 1931 Miller Special, 1935 Gilmore Special, 1940 Maserati Racer and 1953 Fuel Injection Special. The kits were priced correctly and featured 'Super Detailed' parts (for the time). It is unknown why the line failed to sell - it may have been distribution. Best was certainly not a large player in the business. The kit features real rubber Firestone racing tires, decals and some interior detail. The kit has not been started. All parts are still in the original 'krinkle' bag. Complete with decals and instructions.

Revell F-89D Scorpion 'S' Issue, 1/80, H221-89
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
$54
1955 'S' first issue with the fantastic box art that has made these kits so popular today. Very well molded for the time in silver and clear. Includes the famous Revell 'Revelving Swivel Base' molded in clear. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. Please note that the box is graded 'good'- because of the litho tear in the Revell logo at the upper right.
MPC P-51B Mustang Shangri-La / KP IL-10 / Minicraft F4F-4 Wildcat / FOUR Revell Ju-87B/R Stuka, 1/72, 1-4008
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc to Good
$32
SALE!! Includes all 7 kits in the boxes shown. NOTE: Sold AS-IS and not inventoried. This collector was very meticulous and of his kits that I did inventory, 95% are complete. But on these kits he cut the sprue (trees) with the part numbers still attached to each number, so the parts are loose. Because of that, I have not inventoried these kits. NOTE: he sometimes built minor sub assemblies (cockpit tubs, wing halves, etc.) to 'professional' quality. He also almost always removed the display stands (if provided). Again, these kits are sold not inventoried and AS IS hence the very low price.

Strombecker Bell X-1B Supersonic Rocket, 1/48, D30
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
$155
Strombecker was very well known for producing the finest pre-carved hardwood aircraft and missile kits, but they had a very short journey into the plastic model field. They made a total of 5 molds for plastic injected aircraft kits, the 1956 Sea Dart being the first. All were discontinued in the mid 1960s. One kit is this excellent X-1B. It is the rarer of the two releases as it contains the pilots bust molded into the fuselage (the other one does not). Includes full instructions with three photos of the real aircraft, full color decals, Strombecker kit catalog and an application for the Strombecker Model-Makers Club. Kit features full landing gear, clear canopy and display stand. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions.
