1/48 4013-100 UPC Chuck Wagon with Three Figures and Four Animals - (Ex-Revell Miniature Masterpieces

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG

1960s UPC release from the original Revell 1954 Pre-S molds. Very nicely detailed kit of the classic Chuck Wagon. Features full suspension, rear shelves, back fold-down deck, coffee pot, pot, lamp, bell, accessories, two horses, calf, dog, two men and full suspension detail. Inside, the kit has not been started. The parts and decals are still in the factory sealed bag and it includes the instructions. These molds have a fascinating history. 'Miniature Masterpieces' was formed through an alliance of Lou Glasser (Revell) and Steve Adams (Adams Action Models) in 1953. Although the molds were made at Adams and it had the appearance of an independent company, the firm was run by Revell down to the prototypes being made at the Revell plant. Originally there was no evidence of the parent company on the surface. The State Coach of England was the first kit - without figures and horses, issued in 1953. More kits of excellent quality followed. Revell completely took over the line in 1954 and in that year and the next, kits were labeled 'Revell' with a 'Miniature Masterpiece' label on the box top also. 1954 advertisements from Revell list the complete line as the H506 State Coach of England, H510 Ranch Wagon, H503 Covered Wagon, H502 Marquis de Lafayette Carriage, H504 Roman Racing Chariot, H501 Wells Fargo Stage Coach, H509 Western Figures and H507 Chuck Wagon. I believe that UPC reissued the entire line or at least most of them.
