Very rare 1950s model in very good condition. This kit is unusual in that it includes the sealed tube of very colorful 'Frog Polystyrene Cement' and the factory glass vial of white paint with it's cork seal intact. The glue is still flexible but the paint has dried up. The box is the early thick cardboard version with four solid corners, no rips or tears in the box or the litho and no price tags or marks from them. The short sides have marks from the factory tape where it was originally sealed. Flaws include light edge wear, corner wear and general surface wear. Inside the kit is molded in the correct clear and silver with the large FROG display stand. The extensive, full color KLM decal sheet is flat and intact with minimal yellowing - 'excellent' condition overall. The instructions are 'very good' with general wear. The kit has never been started. Inventoried and NOTE: missing (1) of (4) propeller retainers; otherwise complete with all other parts including decals and instructions. The propeller retainers are a simple cylinder with a hole drilled in the middle.

Vacuform Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed
$42
Still factory sealed and a fine model of possibly the smallest aircraft to serve in the US Navy. During the 1920s, the Navy expressed interest in submarine based aircraft as the British had experimented with during WWI. They tried domestic models as well as one German and the Macchi, which they purchased three of. The experiments proved troublesome and the idea was dropped; no one knows what happened to the aircraft. Esoteric produced some of the finest 1/72 vacuform kits ever. This one features white plastic vac moldings, metal radiator & propeller, extruded strut material and full instructions.

Rare and still the only 1/72 model ever made of this subject. The BM-1 was the follow-on to the Martin T4M as the XT5M-1. The BM-1 and BM-2 were externally identical and 32 of each were produced. They remained in front line service until 1937. Some remained in the utility role until 1940 when the last ones were scrapped. Esoteric was known for making perhaps the finest vacuform kits in this scale. The white vac parts are superb and are of higher quality than some injection molded kits. Every part needed to complete the kit is included - down to the interior. Features optional decals & paint guide for the BM-1 or BM-2, all parts required for construction, very good cockpit, metal details and extruded strut material. Never started. The small parts are still in the factory sealed bag; the white vac parts are uncut, untouched and 100% complete. Includes decals and excellent instructions.
