Very rare. Large 1/28 scale motorized kit with many working features. A factory-assembled metal gear box with nylon gears is driven by a common FA-130 motor.

Inside it is just as it left the factory. The small parts, gearbox, lights and glue are still factory sealed.

The checkerboard cardboard presentation material and large full-color card showing aircraft and famous pilots is in very good condition. Includes instructions and decals in 'very good++' condition. The box is 100% complete with four solid corners and no repairs or tape. But it does have significant general wear as shown and discoloration, hence the 'good' grade.

Monogram Missile Mobile Regulus II / Bomarc / Rascal / Matador / Atlas / Snark, 1/128, PD43-98
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+
Sold
Very rare kit from 1959 and the first and only issue. When Monogram released the 'US Missile Arsenal-31 Missiles,' the sales were not as expected; interest in missile models quickly peaked then dropped of rapidly. So they soon devised a way to get more utility out of the molds. This happened in two ways. The first was the Missile "Bags" and then this Missile Mobile. The mobile is quite large; it measures 18 inches deep and 24 inches across. The Regulus II, Bomarc, Rascal, Matador, Atlas and Snark all hang from heavy printed cardboard cloud cutouts. The missiles are molded in color so painting was not required. The model has not been started. The kit has been inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals, 'clouds,' rigging thread (on the original holder) and instructions. The clouds are still in the sheet and not punched out. The decals are in amazing 'near mint' condition. NOTE: this kit must be shipped insured.
