Airfix Short Sunderland III, 1/72, 06001
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++
$39
The Sunderland's 21-year record with the RAF has made it a legend. Derived from the Empire Class Flying Boat Airliners, Sunderland IIIs had a top speed of 210 mph and an endurance of 12 hours. These qualities made the Sunderland a superb platform for North Sea and North Atlantic patrols, ASW and SAR. Crews usually loved the airplane; its large size afforded many airborne comforts that bomber or fighter crews could only dream of such as bunk, a head and an area for food preparation. This kit is from 1986 and features 160 pieces, beaching gear, rotating turrets with elevating guns, movable control surfaces, bomb load (that can be displayed stowed or in the deployed position, rotating propellers and more. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present.

Airfix NA-39 Blackburn Buccaneer - Craftmaster Issue, 1/72, 1404-100
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed NM+
$48
Still factory sealed and in investment-grade 'Near Mint+' condition. This is one of the more dramatic Craftmaster boxes. A British carrier launches a heavily battle-damaged Buccaneers with enemy ships within visual range, meaning that something has already gone horribly wrong. Other Buccaneers are taking heavy and accurate fire from the enemy, while one ship is engulfed in flames; to add to the carnage, propeller driven aircraft fall burning from the sky. The Buccaneer was the world's first purpose designed low level 'below the radar' bomber. Low level strike aircraft have a shorter airframe life limit due to the stresses of low level flying, so the Buccaneer was designed to be very strong and even had many sub-assemblies milled from solid metal. This model kit features opening unique rotating bomb bay, folding wings and working arresting hook. This is one of two known Craftmaster issues of the NA-39.

Airfix Boeing 314 Pan Am Clipper - Dixie or BOAC Berwick, 1/144, 04172
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed NM
$39
Still factory sealed. Dated 1988. Very finely molded with 76 pieces and well detailed for the time. Has decals for both aircraft. In the 1930s Pan Am was a household word in the USA for their romantic foreign routes and the glamorous 'China Clippers' that crossed the Pacific Ocean, stopping at such ports as Wake Island. Pan Am's attention soon turned to the Atlantic. Since non-stop service would be needed, a new aircraft was designed. The Boeing 314 was chosen. This huge flying boat started flying the Atlantic mail in 1939 with a trip over 26 hours long. Before the war, the 314 fleet flew the Pacific, Atlantic and other routes. The airliner was a palace compared to the cramped jets and limited service of today. The flight deck compared to the bridge of a ship and housed 6 crew. It was connected to the passenger cabin by a spiral staircase. The luxurious cabins were divided into 5 standard compartments, each seating 10 passengers, a dining salon for 14, a special compartment for four and a deluxe bridal suite. 74 could be carried on day trips and 40 when sleeping quarters for all passengers was required. Chefs prepared gourmet meals while passengers lounged in deeply cushioned wicker chairs and enjoyed a grand view of the scenery from about 5,000 feet. The age of the Clippers ended shortly after WWII when land planes could operate at much higher speeds than the flying boats.

Hasegawa Boeing B-47E Stratojet - USAF SAC, 1/72, K7
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: NM
$50
Kit is very nicely detailed with fine panel detail, cockpit, open/closed bomb bay doors with internal iron bomb load, tail "stinger" and detailed landing gear with 'good' wheel well detail. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. The B-47 was a very advanced aircraft at the time. The XB-47 first flew in 1947. The big jet's speed was equal to or greater than all current fighter aircraft, so it received radar-controlled twin 20mm cannons in the tail as the only guns. Through the use of mid-air refueling, the B-47 gave SAC it's first all-jet force for nuclear or regular bomb delivery. Although it was tricky to fly, Stratojets flew into the mid 1960s. A program to strengthen the wings for low-level attack was responsible for prolonging the service life.
