From the mid 1960s. This large 1/50 scale Dinah is from Marusan molds and the box artwork is by Scott Eidson, who did much of the famous Revell artwork.

Features completely new box artwork, a DH-4 molded in gloss dark green and black, the JN-4 molded in gloss bright yellow and black, great custom decal sheets for both aircraft and special 'Barnstormer' instructions for each aircraft. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts present and includes decals and instructions. The instructions sheets are both in 'near mint' condition and the decal sheets are both completely flat with the typical age yellowing as the only significant flaw.

Airfix Boeing 314 Pan Am Clipper - Dixie or BOAC Berwick, 1/144, SK602
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
$56
Type three logo issue from the 1960s. In the 1930s Pan Am was a household word in the USA for their romantic foreign routes and the glamorous 'China Clippers' that crossed the Pacific Ocean, stopping at such ports as Wake Island. Pan Am's attention soon turned to the Atlantic. Since non-stop service would be needed, a new aircraft was designed. The Boeing 314 was chosen. This huge flying boat started flying the Atlantic mail in 1939 with a trip over 26 hours long. Before the war, the 314 fleet flew the Pacific, Atlantic and other routes. The airliner was a palace compared to the cramped jets and limited service of today. The flight deck compared to the bridge of a ship and housed a crew of 6 in comfort. It was connected to the passenger cabin by a spiral staircase. The luxurious cabins were divided into 5 standard compartments, each seating 10 passengers, a dining salon for 14, a special compartment for four and a deluxe bridal suite. 74 could be carried on day trips and 40 when sleeping quarters for all passengers was required. Chefs prepared gourmet meals while passengers lounged in deeply cushioned wicker chairs and enjoyed a grand view of the scenery from about 5,000 feet. The age of the Clippers ended shortly after WWII when land planes could operate at much higher speeds than the flying boats. This model includes decals for both aircraft listed. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions.

Unicraft Arado E.561 - WWII Zerstoerer / Heavy Fighter - (E561), 1/72, 056
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed NM
$45
Still factory tape sealed and costs $65 on the Unicraft website. Nicely detailed, limited-run resin kit. Although this heavy fighter design appeared to have two engines mounted in conventional nacelles, this was not the case. The design had the engines mounted in the wing root junction at the fuselage; the propellers were to be driven by shafts. This novel approach allowed the pilot to run both propellers on one engine; but with half the output per side. The configuration also produced a very aerodynamic design which reduced drag.

This is a well detailed and well molded kit for that time and features one Bloodhound missile, transport truck, working launcher assembly, transport trailer, crew of three and a dog. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present.
