Monogram Curtiss P-36A - White Box Issue, 1/72, 6790
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed NM
Sold
Still factory sealed. Dated 1979. Very finely molded and detailed kit with traditional high Monogram quality. The Hawk P-36A has the dubious distinction of fighting on both sides and for more countries than any other plane in history during the opening years of WWII. This Hawk, one in a long progression of famous fighter aircraft, was the winner of a 1935 competition. The USAA Corps received the first aircraft in April of 1938 and the French ordered 100 aircraft in May of the same year. French Hawks shot down just over 30 German planes during the battle for France. The Germans captured the aircraft and sold them to Finland. Others were captured when the Germans overran Norway. In all over 800 Hawks were produced and served in China, Netherlands East Indies, Portugal, Great Britain, Thailand, Argentina and Peru. Although an excellent fighter in 1935, the Hawk was outclassed by the time the war started but when flown properly still gave a good account of itself.

Frog Martin Baltimore Bomber - RAF - Green Series, 1/72, F339
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Sold
Green Series issue that shares dramatic Jo Kotula box art with the Air Lines issue. Finely molded and contains no rivets - just fine panel lines. Features rotating turret, crew of three and some interior detail and optional position landing gear. The kit has never been started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. Frog is considered the father of injection molded model kits. The Lines Brothers opened Frog in 1932, capitalizing on the fever caused by Lindberg's solo transatlantic flight. Almost overnight the western populations became 'Air-Minded', and anything aviation was in high demand. Frog created a quality line of stick and tissue rubber powered aircraft and gliders as well as innovative ready-to-fly rubber powered aircraft that required no assembly. The box even contained a built-in rubber motor winder and fuselage holder. Model airplane flight competitions were popular in Great Britain, and one category was 'Rise Off the Ground', or ROG. By changing this to 'Flies Right Off the Ground', the FROG name was born. In 1936 Frog created a line of injection molded plastic models, the first such kit line in the world (Hawk sold a line of injection molded aircraft models in 1934 but they were factory assembled and painted). Named 'Penguin' after the bird that does not fly, the kits were innovative beyond the means of production. At a time when models were simply built by wingspan, the Penguin line was a constant 1/72 scale. Furthermore, a large 1/72 Short S.30 Empire class flying boat contained a full interior and lights! A line of accessories such as AA guns, tractors, hanger, ambulance, sound locator, searchlights and lighting kits were quickly added to the line. WWII caused a pause in production. After the war the box color changed from silver to green, and Penguin kits were also marketed in the USA. Production ended in 1950. Frog quickly expanded and released the Red, Orange, Black, Green, Gold Token, Spin and Comet series as well as Trail Blazers and several others. It is noteworthy that while most manufacturers in the 1940s/50 were making toy-like models, Frog attempted to make very realistic models. For example, 'detailing' kits with excessively large rivets was once very popular. Frog ignored this trend and continued to mold aircraft with fine panel lines and no rivets. As a result, Frog kits can be built into very realistic replicas. Production ended in the late 1970s, but Frog molds are still in use around the world.

NOTE: BUILDER KIT ONLY. Please read carefully. Very well detailed and beautifully molded plastic and metal operating tank model.

Metal parts include lower hull, inner and outer drive sprockets, idler wheels, idler tension drums, idler arms, wheel shafts, suspension housing, tension shaft, torsion sway bar and dozens and dozens more. Essentially the entire fully functioning suspension and wheels are metal. NOTE: this kit has significant professional quality assembly. There are no gaps and zero visible glue - a superb job. Everything fits perfectly also. As you can see, the basic hull and turret have been built. A few details are built, but almost all have been left off (so the model could be painted first). There has been zero painting. The model has been inventoried and the following parts are missing - one cosmetic part, the short machine gun barrel (can be made). All other cosmetic parts are present. The following non-cosmetic parts are missing: clutch assembly, one small screw (for turret motor), generic battery box (easily replaced), a small common 3mm washer and 2 spacers (can be made from tubing cut to size). Also, the old mechanical speed control is missing - which everyone replaces with a small (and safer) ESC (electronic speed control). Otherwise inventoried with all other parts present. With decals and high-quality photocopied, complete instructions on large format paper.

Total load was 170 passengers and crew, and the 12 engines developed 7200 HP.
