$59
Includes both promos. The 60 Special still includes the friction drive; the Golden Hawk's drive has been removed. Original dealer models are in 'very good' condition. The body of the '55 is above average but it does have some warping, the most obvious being the 'kick-up' at the front of the front fenders; the 1950 is much better than average has only a small amount, mainly slight 'dishing' of the hood as shown. Factory plastic color and body paint are original, glossy and display very nice but both have general wear as shown. The clear on the Victoria is intact but has some of the typical buckling. The mirrored clear on the 1950 is in amazing 'excellent++' condition but it could use some cleaning. Both of these were always adult collector owned, so the tires are like new with no wear. No parts are missing and they are original except that some of the fine trim (door handles, trim, etc) has been correctly and very neatly adult painted. The quality is good enough to pass for factory paint.

ZTS THREE Il-2 / Il-2M3 And TWO Lotina Spitfire IX UTI, 1/72, S-03
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++
$28
SALE!! Includes all five model kits. One Lotina Spitfire IX UTI kit is factory sealed. The other one is open but has never been started and is complete with all parts, decals and instructions. The IL-2 models have NOT been inventoried and are sold as is - they are from a very picky modeler who most parts off the trees. Of his kits that I did inventory, over 95% were 100% complete. But since these parts are all loose and there is very minor, "professional" quality assembly (like to the cockpit tub), I did not inventory them and am selling them AS-IS, hence the low price. The ZTS IL-2 is a nicely molded older kit with very fine raised panel lines, cockpit detail and parts for either version. Includes decals and paint guide for 5 aircraft- Polish Air Force and 4 Soviet Air Force machines.
