Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Exc
$28
Still factory sealed. Dated 1989. Another older but excellent kit from original 1967 molds. The Hawk P-36A has the dubious distinction of fighting on both sides and for more countries than any other plane in history during the opening years of WWII. This Hawk, one in a long progression of famous fighter aircraft, was the winner of a 1935 competition. The USAA Corps received the first aircraft in April of 1938 and the French ordered 100 aircraft in May of the same year. French Hawks shot down just over 30 German planes during the battle for France. The Germans captured the aircraft and sold them to Finland. Others were captured when the Germans overran Norway. In all over 800 Hawks were produced and served in China, Netherlands East Indies, Portugal, Great Britain, Thailand, Argentina and Peru. Although an excellent fighter in 1935, the Hawk was outclassed by the time the war started but when flown properly still gave a good account of itself.

Rare first issue dated 1955. It has the correct P11-98 kit number and early logo. The model has beautiful mold quality and detail for that time and features rotating propellers and wheels, optional position main doors with boarding ladder, four paratroopers and a crew of two pilots. Molded in the correct high-gloss dark olive drab and clear plastic. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. The box would grade higher than 'excellent+' but there is sun fading on the lower short side and clear tape residue at the center of both long sides.
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
$42
This 1973 release of the famous Four Star kit features retractable landing gear, pilot figure, rotating wheels & propeller and more. This is one in a very famous series of 1/48 WWII kits by Monogram, initially released in the very late 1950s. At time, no other 1/48 scale kit even came close for accuracy, fit and finish for well over a 3 decades. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions.
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc++
$165
Rare first issue of the popular WWII Jeep in the 1957 short box. The box is in beautiful 'Excellent++' condition; it displays better than that, but is graded as such because there is some very light discoloration on the right short side and tape marks at the center of the two long sides. The model features hinged windshield, rolling wheels, rubber tires, driver, two combat troops and detailed M3-37mm field gun. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present. This incredibly popular model was Monogram's 21st plastic model kit and has a long history. The first issue (this model) was made in 1957 from all new molds; it was issued in the 'short' box with 'Four Star Plastikit' within the Monogram logo at the upper left. It was a natural choice to include this model in part number MGP1-498, the incredibly rare 'Military Wheels Gift Set' which included Jeep & Gun, Weasel, Half Track and Eager Beaver Truck. The second Jeep issue, which is the rarest of them all, is in the same short box but the only difference is that 'Four Star Plastikit' is replaced by 'The Name For Quality Hobby Kits.' This release is probably from part of 1958. The third issues again has the same part number, the 'Quality Hobby Kits' text but is in a 'long' box that adds bout 3 inches to the length. This was issued until 1966 when Monogram changed to the 'Green' boxes for armor and new part numbers; the Jeep got PM153-100. In the late 1960s, Monogram kept the same artwork but gave the text on the box a facelift with the change to the new, four-digit part number system - this kit received 6864. In 1972 Monogram again re-imaged all of the kits with the famous 'White Box' that featured photographs of the build up models since builders were demanding more realism. The Jeep's first White Box was in 1972, numbered 8211 and in a slightly larger rectangular box. The 1975 White Box shared the same part number but had a slight box top layout change. At this time, it was also made part of the Young Model Builders club kit and sent in a plain cardboard box with a lithograph slick stuck to the bakc. Since this kit continued to sell so well, it was kept in the line up and in 1982 it appears in the new 'Blue Box' design with the number 6302. But even that was not the end! In 1998, Revell (who had purchased the Monogram molds), reissued the kit with a military truck all in one box.

When the Air Force phased out the B-66, they converted many into ECM aircraft, hence the RB-66A. Monogram seized this opportunity as a new lease on life for the B-66 molds and the result was this issue as RB-66 aircraft were being used in Vietnam in the late 1960s.
