1/24 P2-98 Monogram Hot Rod - Monogram's 2nd Plastic Model
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good++
Rare and historical kit. This is the second Monogram plastic kit which was issued in 1954. The first kit was P1, the Midget Racer. The 'Hot Rod' is certainly the rarer of the two. Inside, the kit is still sealed in the original cello bag. The bag does not have any splits, which is highly unusual due to the age and brittle nature of the cello. This very early plastic model kit is molded in colorful dark blue acetate plastic. The instructions are in 'excellent++' condition with slight yellowing as the only significant flaw. There is a small kit catalog included, and it is the correct one as it shows only two plastic models in Monogram's complete line! Unlike many other Monogram automotive kits, this kit has never been reissued. The box is in 'good++' condition. Color and gloss are excellent, all four corners are original and solid, there are no repairs, no price tags or tag marks, no tape or tape marks (other than the original factory sealed tape, of course) and no missing litho. Flaws include age foxing (heavier on the two long sides than anywhere else), general even wear as shown and a 1" long closed tear on the lower long side; much of the tear is not visible until you move the cardboard. This kit must be shipped insured.
