1/48 09682 Life-Like Wells Fargo Stage Coach - with Driver / Messenger and Four Horses (ex-Adams / Revell / Miniature Masterpieces)
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed NM
Still factory sealed. Very finely engraved and molded with excellent detail and a fascinating history. It started life as one of the 'Miniature Masterpieces,' which was formed through an alliance of Lew Glaser (Revell) and Steve Adams (Adams Action Models) in 1953. Although having the appearance of an independent company, the firm was run by Revell down to the prototypes being made at the Revell plant. However, there was no evidence of the parent company on the surface. The State Coach of England was the first kit, issued in 1953. More kits of excellent quality followed. Revell completely took over the line in 1954, making the one-year original issues very rare. However, Adams was issuing the line in 1958. When Life-Like bought many of the Adams molds, they ended up with the Miniature Masterpieces line and has reissued them several times.
