Revell 1953 Jaguar XK-120 Highway Pioneers - Series 4, 1/32, H56-69

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good+

Sold   

1953 original issue of the famous Highway Pioneers 'Foreign Car' series. These issues feature the same 5 car artwork on every box; the only way to identify the contents was an ink-stamped name on the box ends. Molded in light green plastic. This kit has never been started. All parts are still in the factory sealed bag. Includes instructions. These kits have a fascinating history. Hobbies were nothing new to America in the 1930s/40s, but they were not mainstream and never made the top 10 list of boys activities. Spurred on by the nation-wide aviation craze in the 1920s, many became modelers and built flying or static wooden models of airplanes, ships, trains, automotive and other subjects. Basic kits existed, but many of these models were built from scratch, which demanded a high talent level developed from years of experience. That changed in the early 1950s when the Gowland & Gowland/Revell Highway Pioneers became the sales sensation of the year. Demand was so great that the factories could not keep up and almost overnight 'model building' was mainstream. The phenomenon of the 'Highway Pioneers' 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 fit the bill: they could be built in an hour after dinner and looked much like the real cars. The success of the Highway Pioneers lead to the production of other subjects in plastic and the effect was revolutionary. By the late 1950s, model building was the #1 past time of American boys...and many adult males too!

Aoshima IJN Unryu Aircraft Carrier, 1/700, WLA083

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good

Sold   

This waterline model is highly detailed and finely molded. Includes aircraft. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. The Japanese aircraft carrier Unryu was the lead ship of her class of fleet aircraft carriers built for the IJN during World War II. The Unryu were the last purpose-designed Japanese carriers to be built during the war. The ships were based on an improved Hiryu design; early sisters Hiryu and Soryu packed and incredible number of aircraft given their size and weight, making them excellent bargains. The Unryu class was part of the 'Rapid Naval Armaments Supplement Programme' of 1941. The class leader was one of 16 carriers planned, but only three were completed. She was commissioned in mid-1944, but fuel and aircrew shortages limited her training and ASW operations in Japanese waters. However, once the Naval Staff became certain of the American invasion of Luzon, Unryu was ordered to transport thirty Yokosuka MXY7 Ōhka kamikaze rocket planes and supplies to the Philippines and departed on her first mission 17 December,1944. During this voyage, she was spotted by the American submarine USS Redfish (almost certainly with help from ULTRA) in the East China Sea. Redfish fired a spread of 4 torpedoes, one of which hit directly under the bridge. This hit caused extensive damage which stopped Unryu. Repairs were quickly made and in just 15 minutes she was ready to get underway again. However, at that moment, a second torpedo hit next to the forward aircraft elevator, which was near the storage tanks for high explosive aviation gasoline. The Ohka rocket planes had very large warheads and were stored in the lower hanger deck; when the gas tanks exploded, that set off the warheads in the Ohkas. This essentially blew the bow off the ship and caused other unknown but extensive damage. She immediately took on a 30 degree list and the captain ordered the ship abandoned. A list of 90 degrees came very quickly and the ship sank bow first. Casualties were very heavy; 238 officers & crewmen lost their lives. Only 145 men survived to be rescued by Shigure, which was the IJN's 'lucky' or 'unsinkable' ship and the only Japanese warship to survive WWII intact.
