Life-Like Circle A Chuck Wagon - (ex- Miniature Masterpiece / Revell / Adams), 1/48, 09680
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
$58
Excellent builder from the original 1950s molds. Very highly detailed model includes wagon, accessories, large display base and the animals and figures shown in the box art. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes 'Circle A' decals and instructions. Please note that the instructions have a factory printing flaw on the back and are 'smeared.' This kit has an interesting history. 'Miniature Masterpieces' was formed through an alliance of Lew Glaser (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, 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. However, Adams broke the relationship with Revell in the later 1950s and began making kits under the Adams name in 1958 with the original molds. Life-Like acquired these Adams molds but not all Adams molds. This issue is from about 1976 and lists the former MM Chuck Wagon, Western Figures, Wells Fargo Stage coach as well as numerous Pyro and Palmer kits as being currently available.

Metal Craft 1913 Stutz Bearcat Sports Car, 1/16, 6492
Multimedia Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
$129
Very rare 1970s multi-media, large-scale model made by Wagner Metal Craft of Japan. Other scale models in the series included the Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, Lincoln 1928 Model L Convertible, Rolls-Royce 1931 Phantom II and Duesenberg 1934 Model SJ Town Car. This Bearcat features right around 100 pieces, suspension & axle detail, spoked wheels, rubber tires, detailed interior, clear windshield and more. The box top photo is a photo of the actual model kit assembled. You can paint it for better realism if you wish, but painting is not required as all parts come in the come in the colors shown. The parts are metal and injection molded plastic. There is no engine in this model but the hood can be removed. Underside detail is limited to the suspension & axles as well as what is molded into the underpan. Never started and all of the parts are still on the internal factory sealed colored cardboard blister displays and includes instructions. NOTE: the scale is approximate. The kit measures very close to 10 inches when assembled; I took the length of the actual car as 160 inches; hence the 1/16 scale. So I am anything but certain; so please do your own research and see if you agree with my numbers.

Orange Crush-Revell 1910 Cadillac Limousine, 1/32
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Fair++
$49
Very rare kit with a fascinating history. Around 1958/59, Orange Crush of Mexico offered a promotion. They offered free, colorful, plastic model cars if you collected correctly-marked Orange Crush bottle caps. The models are 1/32 scale Revell Highway Pioneer series - although there is no mention of Revell or Lodela anywhere on the box. Orange Crush had the boxes and even the instructions specially made for them with no mention of a manufacturer. They were never given numbers. The boxes were very thin and fragile cardboard. This has contributed to wear and you must be very cautious with them. The kit has never been started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bag and the instructions are sealed in the bag as well. You could redeem your caps two ways - at the Orange Crush truck and at a Modelandia Hobby House. The box sides show the 18 cars in the series. Orange Crush also released two full-color booklets and a complete paint set for the cars. A colorful cardboard box held 7 colors of paint in glass bottles, complete with 'Orange Crush' screw-on caps! The entire promotion was done in coordination with Modelandia Hobby House which had up to 19 stores. Modelandia's name appears on each of the boxes and the paint as well. Robina S.A. was the bottler or distributor of Orange Crush in Mexico at that time. The box side lists the other 18 kits with small color pictures of each and shows three sizes of OC - Family Size (Familiar), Grand (Grande) and Normal. You could also obtain models with Titan bottle caps. Titan was also bottled by Robina and came in large (Titan) and smaller (Titancito) sizes and apparently more than one flavor. We do not know how Orange Crush had access to the plastic kits or who sealed the internal bags with the Crush instructions inside them. We can assume that it may have been Lodela, since they would have had access to the Revell molds. It is not know for how long the promotion lasted, but Orange Crush was one of the most dominant soft drinks in Mexico at that time. Here is one clue: some boxes claim that Modelandia had 13 locations; other boxes, which obviously came later on, claim 19 locations. This may indicate that this promotion went on for a significant amount of time.
