1/48 379-129 Aurora Nike Hercules Missile with Launcher MIM-14
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++
1958 first and only release. Large 1/48 scale missile includes an elevating launcher, many moving parts and a crew of four. Molded in the correct white and olive drab. The kit has never been started. The missile parts ares still in the factory sealed bag. The other parts were never factory sealed and have been inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. In the late 1950s, the first missile model kits sold briskly, so Aurora and Revell both planned extensive lines. However, the missile modeling craze disappeared as quickly as it started. Models that were in the works were canceled or completed if they were far enough along. Those that were completed, like the Nike Hercules, sold poorly and had very short lives, making them rare collector items today.
