Hasegawa IJN Shinano Aircraft Carrier Motorized, 1/450, 7
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++
Sold
Hard to find motorized scale kit of the huge aircraft carrier. Has 343 parts. Kit features detailed AA guns, full air wing, motor drive on two shafts through a metal gearbox and a electric motor. The kit has never been started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. The Shinano was originally laid down as the third unit of the Yamato class super battleships; but the carrier losses at Midway prompted the Japanese to convert the hull into a huge aircraft carrier, the Shinano. The ship never saw action as it was sunk by a submarine while transiting to another base.
Tamiya IJN Yamato Japanese Battleship Motorized, 1/350, WS002
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
Sold
Large-scale kit designed for water operation; ideal for remote control. Includes RE-280 motor, metal running gear including steel gearbox with nylon gears and drive on all four props. The motorized kit is long out of production and is very easy to convert to R/C. Very well detailed. NOTE: the hull below the waterline has been airbrushed red. I don't think that was done at the factory but I could be wrong. Quality of paint is excellent. There is no other painting and zero assembly. Most parts are still in the factory sealed bags; the few bags that were opened have been inventoried complete. With decals and instructions.
Revell USS Yorktown CV5 Aircraft Carrier, 1/490, 5224
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG-
Sold
1987 reissue of the original 1967 kit. Very nicely done kit. Features 20 SBDs, 20" long hull, movable cranes and optional position elevators. The box art shows the wartime finish, but the kit contains decals for this or the prewar high-vis finish. The kit has never been started. Inside it is still factory bag sealed and includes decals and instructions. The Yorktown was one of three prewar sister carriers along with Enterprise (CV-6) and Hornet (CV-8). The Yorktown saw extensive action in the Coral Sea and underwent temporary repairs in record time so she could take part in the Battle of Midway. Damaged by bombs and eventually a spread of submarine-fired 'Long Lance' torpedoes, she was lost after an epic struggle to save the ship.

Bagged kit with header. Contains parts and decals for both versions. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including decals and instructions. Frog is considered the father of injection molded model kits. The Lines Brothers opened Frog in 1932, capitalizing on the fever caused by Lindberg's solo transatlantic flight. Almost overnight the western populations became 'Air-Minded', and anything aviation was in high demand. Frog created a quality line of stick and tissue rubber powered aircraft and gliders as well as innovative ready-to-fly rubber powered aircraft that required no assembly. The box even contained a built-in rubber motor winder and fuselage holder. Model airplane flight competitions were popular in Great Britain, and one category was 'Rise Off the Ground', or ROG. By changing this to 'Flies Right Off the Ground', the FROG name was born. In 1936 Frog created a line of injection molded plastic models, the first such kit line in the world (Hawk sold a line of injection molded aircraft models in 1934 but they were factory assembled and painted). Named 'Penguin' after the bird that does not fly, the kits were innovative beyond the means of production. At a time when models were simply built by wingspan, the Penguin line was a constant 1/72 scale. Furthermore, a large 1/72 Short S.30 Empire class flying boat contained a full interior and lights! A line of accessories such as AA guns, tractors, hanger, ambulance, sound locator, searchlights and lighting kits were quickly added to the line. WWII caused a pause in production. After the war the box color changed from silver to green, and Penguin kits were also marketed in the USA. Production ended in 1950. Frog quickly expanded and released the Red, Blue, Orange, Black, Green, Gold Token, Spin and Comet series as well as Trail Blazers and several others. It is noteworthy that while most manufacturers in the 1940s/50 were making toy-like models, Frog attempted to make very realistic models. For example, 'detailing' kits with excessively large rivets was once very popular. Frog ignored this trend and continued to mold aircraft with fine panel lines and no rivets. As a result, Frog kits can be built into very realistic replicas. Production ended in the late 1970s, but Frog molds are still in use around the world.
