Revell USS Pennsylvania Battleship BB-38 - Sea Power Issue, 1/426, H422-198

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG

USS Pennsylvania Battleship BB-38 - Sea Power Issue

$78   

Hard-to-find hardbox model that is dated 1961. Sister ship of the Arizona, the USS Pennsylvania completed WWII with an enviable record. This full-hull model is very well molded and detailed for that time and can be superbly super-detailed with the Gold Medal Model PE detail set. The kit has never been started. Inventoried complete with all parts present including decals, color flag sheet and instructions. The Pennsylvania was in dry-dock during the December 7th Pearl Harbor attack and survived with minimal damage. She was rebuilt and saw significant action in the Pacific in WWII, steaming over 150,000 miles from 1941 to 1945. It is thought that she may have fired more ammunition than any ship in history. She never once reported 'Not Ready' for any operation or need. After being used as a nuclear test ship at Bikini, she was towed to Kwajalein and sunk.

Pyro IJN Musashi Battleship - Table Top Navy, 1/1200, C392-50

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good

IJN Musashi Battleship - Table Top Navy

$18   

Small scale ship kit from the Table Top Navy series. Very nicely done kits for their time. Can be built full hull or waterline. Features propeller and shaft detail, separately molded turrets, stacks, many superstructure parts and more. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and instructions. Many of the Pyro kits came from Eagle (then Eaglewall) molds in England. Eaglewall went out of business around 1962 and Pyro acquired at least some of the molds. Pyro reissued some of these kits in the mid 1960s with AJ Rudisill artwork. Evidently the line was successful, as Pyro then cut some of their own molds and expanded the series significantly. The earlier issues have the full color artwork and a three digit part number. Later issues have a 'B' or 'C' in front of the three digit kit number; some have simplified box art that is a modification of the original Rudisill paintings by painting out most of the background. Pyro issued these kits into the late 1960 when Life-Like took over the molds. Some were reissued by Life-Like.

Lindberg Tuna Clipper Ann - (Gulf Star) - (ex Pyro and Life-Like), 1/58, 70896

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Sealed Exc+

Tuna Clipper Ann - (Gulf Star) - (ex Pyro and Life-Like)

$38   

Still factory sealed. From quality Pyro molds dating from the early 1960s. This kit is modeled from the two Tuna Clippers "Gulf Star" and "Sea Magic" of the Avondale Marine Ways Company of New Orleans. The model has a hull length of 13.5 inches. Pyro's original issues were designed for water operation (with the Boat PowerPack which sold separately). While this kit does not include any of this gear, it is very sturdy and would make a very nice small R/C model. Hard-working tuna boats and crews roamed the ocean year-around in a dangerous business. Many vanished without a trace. The Gulf Star was wrecked on a reef off Peru.
