Plastic Model Kits
AMT-Hasegawa Mitsubishi G4M1 Betty Type 1 MkII - Japanese Attack Bomber - (From Hasegawa Molds), 1/72, A-681
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Fair
$18
In an effort to boost their quality and product line, AMT formed a marketing agreement to sell high quality Hasegawa kits in AMT packages in the USA. This venture was short-lived as Hasegawa soon penetrated the US market without AMT assistance. The model features movable propeller & wheels, optional position landing gear and cockpit with a crew of three. Never started. The kit has been inventoried and NOTE: missing (1) wheel half. Otherwise complete with all other parts, decals and instructions.
Aurora British SE-5 Scout - White Rectangle Issue, 1/48, 103-69
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
$65
Very rare version and the rarest of all Aurora SE-5s. Note that the rectangular background for the oval 'Famous Fighters' logo is white and not the more common yellow. The two issues are identical other than the background color for the lower-right rectangle. The hardbox is dated 1956 with the original Jim Cox box art but with the 1957 oval 'Famous Fighters' logo. The original rectangle 'Northern Lights'; logo has been neatly blotted out with a white rectangle of the same size. The fact that the price is still 69 cents (as the original issue) means this issue is very late 1956 or very early '57. Molded in gloss olive green and black. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. NOTE: there is a short tape tear on the lower long side measuring 1/2" x 1/4" and two dark, translucent tape stains (1" x 3/8") on the upper long side.
Aurora Douglas M2 Mailplane - Western Air Express M-2 US Mail Service, 1/48, 775
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed VG+
$46
Still in the factory seal. Dated 1976. At this late date in Aurora history, they were only releasing the best molds and usually after some scale modifications. This model contains decals for two Western Air Express aircraft.
Aurora AT-6 Texan, 1/48, 70-69
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Fair++
$54
From 1956 and the rare first issue of this classic kit. Please note the early rectangular logo "Aurora Line" logo. It is molded in silver and clear plastic and includes the correct early rectangular clear base Aurora stand, the correct instructions showing this base, and the correct early Tatem decals which Aurora issued without a stand decal. (Aurora included stand decals with the introduction of the triangular 'world' base style clear stand.) Molded in silver and clear plastic. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. Please NOTE that the box displays better than the 'fair++' grade is because the box has a thin border of masking tape along the lower sides.
Aurora North American F-100 Super Sabre, 1/103, 490-50
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+
$52
Dated 1961 with the great Jim Cox artwork that makes these early Aurora kits so collectible & popular. This issue has a slightly larger box than earlier ones. This is a very good kit for that time, molded in a beautiful gloss silver & clear, with full landing gear and the clear 'Triangle World Map' stand. Never started. Inventoried complete with all parts, decals and instructions present. Please note, this is not a reissue of the Comet model. Aurora cut these molds years before acquiring Comet's F-100.

Aurora SNJ Trainer, 1/48, 80-79
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
$44
1960/61 issue with the 'Famous Fighters' oval starburst logo. Of all of the variations with this artwork, this one seems to show up the least. This was a good kit for the time, featuring cockpit detail, pilot and student figures, rotating propeller and more. Includes US Navy decals. Molded in bright yellow and clear. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions.
Aurora F7U Cutlass Navy Jet Fighter, 1/70, 496-49
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good++
$55
Early issued dated 1959. Please note that the logo is the 'Famous Fighters' in the border with the sunburst inside, which is the earliest oval Aurora logo. From the amazing Jo Kotula artwork you can see why these kits are so famous and so collectible today. Never started. Inventoried complete with all parts, decals and instructions present.
Aurora Fokker E111 Eindekker - (E-111), 1/48, 134-79
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
$38
SALE!! Dated 1963. Nicely molded kit that was popular for decades. Feature great Jo Kotula box art, pilot and cockpit, detailed engine, ground crew member and ground display base with wheel chocks. Molded in tan and black plastic. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. This is part of the famous Aurora WWI series of 1/48 scale aircraft. The series began in 1956 and Aurora added new kits into the early 1960s. The line proved incredibly popular, so these kits were included in the 'mold upgrade' in the 1970s before Aurora went out of business.
Hasegawa Boeing B-47E Stratojet, 1/72, 1223
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
$42
Very nicely detailed with fine raised panel detail, cockpit, open/closed bomb bay doors with internal iron bomb load, tail 'stinger' and detailed landing gear with good wheel well detail. Never started. The small parts are still in the factory sealed bag; the larger parts that were never sealed have been inventoried complete. Includes decals and instructions. NOTE: the decals have some age cracking on the upper right corner (there was moisture exposure at that spot). For new aftermarket decals, I recommend the excellent sheets From Warbird Decals and Caracal Models. 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.
