Very rare set from about 1953 which includes all six models, a glass bottle of "Pactra's Cement For Revell Kits", a brand-new Pactra special issue "Highway Pioneers Painting Set" in a unique box with their legendary 'Namel paints in red, yellow, blue, white, black, gold, chrome silver and thinner and a brush.

Inside, the kit is correct with all cardboard dividers. Before the 1950s 'model building' never made the top 10 list of boy's activities. Hobbies were nothing new to America in the 1930s/40s, but they were not mainstream. Starting the 1910 and '20s, many dedicated modelers began building flying or static airplanes, ship, train, automotive or other subjects. Basic kits existed, but the majority of these models were built from scratch, which demanded a high talent level developed from years of experience. The availability of wooden model kits expanded rapidly after Lindberg's flight due to the nation-wide 'Aviation Craze.' However, it was widely reported by hobby publications that because of the high degree of skill required in building wooden aircraft that less than 80% of the kits purchased were successfully completed (and far fewer flown). That changed in the early 1950s with the introduction of plastics and injection molding machinery. The phenomenon of the all-plastic Gowland & Gowland 'Highway Pioneers' car kits was a significant force in proving that model building as a hobby could have mass appeal, since the kits were easy enough to build and finish. These 1/32 scale vehicles could be built in an hour after dinner and looked much like the real car - and had zero carving or painting required. The success of the Highway Pioneers series immediately lead to the production of ship, aircraft and vehicles in plastic and the effect was revolutionary. By the early 1960s, model building was the #1 past time of American boys...and adult males as well.

Revell 1909 Stanley Steamer - Highway Pioneers, 1/32, H34-79

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good++

Sold   

1960 issue hardbox with full artwork; Highway Pioneers prior to this year simply had generic artwork and an ink stamped name on the box ends was the only way to identify the contents. This kit has never been started. All parts are still sealed in the factory bag. Includes instructions. The box would rate slightly higher than 'good++' but there is age foxing on the box side panels. 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!

Lindberg Racing Yawl - Bermuda Yawl Sailboat (ex Pyro), 70884

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good++

Sold   

1990 Lindberg issue from the original, quality 1960s Pyro molds. Full hull kit with very good molded detail, vacuform billowing sails, rigging material, rigging diagram and display stand. Measures about 8.5 inches long when assembled. Molded in tan with white vacuform sails. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes instructions. The Pyro company chose many of it's kit subjects based more on historical significance than popularity. Luckily for us, Pyro not only made these kits but did an excellent job for the time. To this day they are often the only kit ever available of such subjects.
