Aurora TFX F-111B Navy Fighter Bomber (Navy F-111 Prototype), 1/48, 369-249
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Sold
Dated 1966. The only 1/48 scale kit of this subject. The TFX Project was proposed as a way to save money by having the Air Force and Navy use the same aircraft. The F-111B was tested by the Navy but canceled due to the large size of the aircraft. Good kit for that time with swing wings and retractable landing gear. The kit has never been started. The parts that were factory sealed are still in the sealed bags. The parts that were not factory sealed have been inventoried complete including decals and instructions.

Enterprise Cycle Miniatures Old High Wheeler Bicycle, 1/15, B1
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Sold
Very rare. Enterprise was a very successful maker of balsa wood free-flight and control line aircraft models dating well back into the 1930s. In the early 1950s modeling started to change and the Gowland/Revell 'Highway Pioneers' got the attention of Enterprise staff. Enterprise maintained it's own museum of rare and extraordinary old time bicycles, so it only seemed natural that the first (and only) two plastic kits from the company would represent bikes. This model is of the High Wheeler, based on the 'Columbia' of 1979 and is very nicely molded and detailed for the time. It includes a display base also. This model and a 'Tandem' were issued in 1954 but did not sell well; production was discontinued after a short run. The kit has never been started. All parts are still sealed in the 'krinkle' bag. The instructions are mint and contain and excellent 'History of the Bicycle' on one side and detailed, illustrated assembly instructions on the other side.

Revell Mickey Thompsons Challenger I - World's Fastest Car 406.6 MPH, 1/25, H1281-198
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Sold
Original issue hardbox dated 1962. Not the common reissue. When released that year, it was a revolutionary kit that broke new ground in 1/25 level of detail. In Tom Graham's interviews with Jim Keeler, the kit designer, the molds cost $80,000 in 1961 - twice that of a normal car kit. To design the kit, Thompson's mechanics gave the Revell team full run of the vehicle and even disassembled it for them. The kit features removable boy panels, four super detailed Pontiac V-8 engines with 18 parts each, complete chassis, suspension and drive train detail, water tanks, fuel tanks, parachute holder, cockpit and much more. The level of detail is astounding. Molded in correct gloss baby blue, silver, chrome plated and with rubber tires. NOTE: this kit has minor and very neat assembly. The engine blocks/heads/intake manifold/fuel pumps have been assembled. The transmission halves/bellhousing/tranny mounts are also assembled. Quality of assembly ranges from 'professional' to 'excellent++' with no gaps, perfect alignment and no to very little glue showing. There is no other assembly and zero painting. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions.

Suydam Union Ice Company With Cooling Tower and Icing Platform - Craftsman Kit, HO, 566
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
Sold
Very well detailed. This is the deluxe, complete issue with all three kits included - the main factory, cooling tower and icing platform. The majority of the parts are wood stock cut to length, carved wood cut to shape and precolored, completely die-cut very heavy cardstock that is as thick as injection molded plastic parts. In addition there are metal ladders, clear windows with printed mullion detail, signs, etc. The kit has never been started. One bag of pre-cut wood parts is still factory sealed; another bag with the signs, windows, etc is still factory sealed; all the factory cut-to-length stock is still in the factory rubber bands; the '300 lb ice cakes' are still in the factory sealed bag; none of the die-cut stock parts have been removed, so they are in mint condition. That leaves just one wooden parts bag - it has been opened. It appears to be complete as best I can tell; however, it was impossible to inventory it properly since all the other bags of small wood parts are still sealed. So something may be missing from this one bag; the good news is that it is made from wood and can be easily made from the instructions. Includes three sheets of instructions.
