Heller Le Soleil Royal, 1/100, 1500
Vaccuform Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
$198
Museum quality (over 2300 pieces) reproduction of the famous flagship "Royal Sun" of the French Navy under the Count of Tourville in 1692. The ship was part of an epic sea battle where she took unbelievable damage and fought against all odds. This model has amazing detail. Has full rigging instructions, rigging material and billowing sails. Never started. Inventoried with all plastic parts present. Includes instructions. NOTE: instructions are photocopies. Because Heller used a non-standard large sheet of paper, the Copy Center had to split each page in two. There is over 1" of overlap on each sheet, so they can be matched up with excellent results. NOTE: missing decal sheet.
Yankee Modelworks CA-45 USS Wichita Heavy Cruiser - Wichita Class, 1/350, YKM-35123
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++
$325
Very rare; the Wichita was the only ship of her class and this is the only 1/350 scale model ever made of her. Yankee Modelworks 1/350 were advertised as the World's Finest 1/350 Ship Kits, and that was no idle boast. All resin parts are cast from de-aired molds in a pressure chamber, ensuring that every detail is sharp and there are zero to few air bubbles. Careful design of the molds also nearly eliminated resin flash. The cast metal fine details are stunning and it can be built full hull or waterline. The large and extensive set of two brass photoetched frets are the equivalent of a modern 'Super Detail' PE set. This model can be built waterline or full hull. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions.

All resin parts are cast from de-aired molds in a pressure chamber, ensuring that every detail is sharp and there are zero to few air bubbles. Careful design of the molds also nearly eliminated resin flash. The cast metal fine details are stunning and it can be built full hull or waterline. The large and extensive set of two brass photoetched frets are the equivalent of a modern 'Super Detail' PE set. This model can be built waterline or full hull. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions.

Hasegawa Boeing B-47E Stratojet, 1/72, JS-23
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Exc+
$64
Still factory sealed. The B-47 was a very advanced aircraft at the time. The XB-47 first flew in 1947. The big jet's speed was equal to or greater than all current fighter aircraft, so it received radar-controlled twin 20mm cannons in the tail as the only guns. Through the use of mid-air refueling, the B-47 gave SAC it's first all-jet force for nuclear or regular bomb delivery. Although it was tricky to fly, Stratojets flew into the mid 1960s. A program to strengthen the wings for low-level attack was responsible for prolonging the service life. Kit is very nicely detailed with fine panel detail, cockpit, open/closed bomb bay doors with internal iron bomb load, tail "stinger" and detailed landing gear with good well detail.

Airfix DH Comet 4B - Dan-Air Skyking Series, 1/144, 03170-7
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
$42
Very nicely detailed and molded kit from 1980. Features clear windows, full landing gear and passenger boarding stairs. Includes colorful Dan-Air London decals. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. The initial Comet Is were in operation long before the 707, which gave the British an incredible post-war lead in the expanding civil aviation market. Just as the Comet was flying high and orders were pouring in from around the world, Comets began to mysteriously fall out of the sky. Everything from lighting to terrorist bombs were blamed. For months the root cause went undiscovered. Then, in a landmark investigation that is considered the first modern post-crash autopsy, it was discovered that the stresses around a small ADF window on the top of the fuselage were causing metal fatigue failure when the fuselage was pressurized. To confirm this, a Comet I was placed in a water tank and subjected to pressurization stresses. After some time, a dramatic failure occurred. Then parts of a crashed Comet were pulled from underwater proving once and for all that this was the root cause.
