Jo-Han 1960 Oldsmobile 98 Scenicoupe 2 Door Hardtop - Stock / Custom / Racing, 1/25, 2560-140
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Sold
Very rare original issue and even rarer in never started and complete condition. After the sales disaster of the 1959 GM "Big Fin" styling, 1960s models were hurriedly redesigned to be more conventional; the 1960s Oldsmobile 98 and 88 Scenicoupe Two-Door Hardtops were perhaps the most beautiful and balanced of all the efforts. If you have seen a restored one in person then you know what I am talking about. Tom Monaghan had an amazing metallic bronze '60 88 Scenicoupe that he restored for his collection; the car eventually auctioned off in the early 1990s and ended up at an antique car dealer just up the road from me; it was out of reach but I made at least 4 dozen trips just to gawk at it. This model is from late 1959, nicely detailed for that time and can be built one of three ways. Features one-piece body, good molded-in chassis & suspension detail, separately molded torsion bars, full interior, rotating wheels and numerous optional parts for all versions. Molded in ivory, clear, chrome late and with wide whitewall rubber tires, the correct wide metal axles and metal body screws. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. Early Jo-Han car decals are generic and for the customized version only; Jo-Han used this sheet for at least 2 years and perhaps more.

AMT USS Akron or Macon - ZRS-4 or ZRS-5, 1/520, T572
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
Sold
From the late 1960s/early 1970s. This is a very good model of the famous 'Aircraft Carriers Of The Sky' and contains parts and decals to build either airship. AMT went to a fair amount of effort to provide the separate parts that make each airship unique. The Sparrowhawk aircraft hangar door is molded separately if you wish to super detail the hangar bay. Never started. Inventoried and NOTE: missing the two 'assist rudders' which are nothing but flat rectangles; easily made from stock plastic or card stock. Otherwise complete with all other parts and includes decals and instructions. The Macon and Akron carried their own complement of F9C Sparrowhawk fighter aircraft, which could take off from a large hook while the airship was in flight. Recovery was accomplished the same way and the aircraft were stored in a hangar inside the ship.
