Monogram Little Air Force Assortment Gift Set Speedee-Bilt F-84 And Speedee-Bilt F-51 And Superkit F-51 (P-51) And Superkit F-84
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good++
$695
Very rare 1950s gift set. Long before injection molded kit were mass produced in the USA, Monogram created what are widely considered the finest pre-fabricated wooden kits with plastic details. The Speedee-Bilt series were flying models with pre-painted and cut wooden parts with plastic props, cowls, pilots, etc. The Superkits were smaller static models with precarved wooden parts and many plastic details. The kits themselves are rare today, but the gift set is very rare. Monogram issued very few gift sets for injection kits, and even fewer in the early 1950s for the wooden kits. The gift set consists of a special 'Christmas' box with a tray and lift-off top with a cello window. This one contains 2 Superkits (F-84 Thunderjet and F-51 Mustang) and 2 Speedee-Bilts (also the F-84 and F-51). The outer box is intact with the original cello and is in 'very good' displayable condition but is not perfect. It has edge wear, general wear, light staining (visible at the upper left) and two closed split corners. The four kits inside are in mint boxes and have never started. Each is 100% inventoried complete with all parts,decals and instructions present.

Allyn Douglas C-124 Globemaster - Heavy Duty All Purpose Transport, 1/174, 902
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
$225
Very rare, complete kit from the early 1950s. Allyn produced 'Factory Display' models for aircraft manufacturers (such as Douglas) and the US Air Force. They also released some to the public as unassembled model kits; those are very rare today. The Allyn kits were produced from the early 1950s and by the late 1950s production had been discontinued. Today they are all highly prized collectors items. The Douglas Globemaster is molded in glossy light gray, clear & black plastic and includes factory painted yellow propeller tips and four washers as the propeller retainers. The aircraft is in the 'in-flight' configuration like most all factory models. Includes a very large clear two piece display stand. The base of the stand says 'DOUGLAS - C-124 - GLOBEMASTER.' US Air Force decals are included. This kit has never been started. Inside, it is as it came from the factory. The propeller, washers, clear canopy & cowlings are still sealed in the original factory 'krinkle' bag; the large parts were never sealed and have been inventoried complete. Includes decals and all paperwork. There is one sheet with illustrated and text building instructions. Another sheet has a C-124 painting on one side and specifications & a list of important highlights for 'The New Douglas C-24 Globemaster.' On the back of the instructions are photos of other Allyn Douglas Company display models that were for sale at the time. They included The Navy Skystreak, Navy Skyrocket, Globemaster, Navy Skyraider, Navy Skyknight and Navy Skyshark. The decals and both instruction sheets are in 'excellent+' condition. This kit comes from a long-time collector and he was the original owner, which means you will be the second owner.

Mach 2 Blohm und Voss Ha-139 - Luftwaffe Minesweeper, 1/72, MC0032
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Exc
$72
Still factory sealed. The Ha-139 was an attractive, all metal inverted gull wing floatplane. At one time it was the largest float-equipped aircraft in the world. Initially, this was a civil aircraft and between 1937-1939 and Deutsche Luft Hansa flew them on trans-Atlantic routes, mainly between Bathurst, Gambia and Natal, Brazil. They were catapult-launched from a tender ship (such as the Friesenland) and were able to transport 500kg of mail up to 5,000 km. At the start of World War II, the Ha-139s were transferred to the Luftwaffe where they were used for transport, reconnaissance and minesweeping in the Baltic. While successful in the civil role, they were not well suited to military work.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc-

When the Air Force phased out the B-66, they converted many into ECM aircraft, hence the RB-66A.
