Still factory sealed. This Mattel/Monogram issue is dated 1973 and is still a favorite kit today thanks to it's very good scale accuracy & perfect fit & finish. This is one of at least two White Box variants; the main difference is the text font & location.

$129
Rare kit from 1957. This is a highly prefabricated, rubber-powered, wooden scale flying model kit. It features beautiful, completely finished Monofoil upper and lower wings, die-cut fuselage sides and formers that are factory painted yellow, precarved wooden parts, fully finished wheels, die-cut clear windscreens, prop and pilot bust, fully formed wire landing gear, rubber motor, sandpaper, tissue, decals and excellent instructions. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present. The decals are in amazing 'excellent+++' condition and the instructions are 'very good++' with typical age yellowing as the only flaw. Before there were plastic models, there were wooden aircraft kits. These usually came in two types - solid and stick and tissue. The solid models were static and usually contained a few blocks of balsa and sometimes a detail part or two. These "Make Wood Look Like Plane" models required a very high level of skill in carving and finishing. The stick and tissue variety were slightly easier to build and provided the ultimate thrill - they could fly when complete with rubber power (and later with free-flight gas and eventually RC). They still required a great deal of skill, so manufacturers sought ways to make model building more accessible to everyone. One idea was pre-carving and/or prefabrication. This raised prices, naturally. Many manufacturers launched lines of 'easy' to build flying models but only Monogram succeeded in making an entire line at an affordable price that would actual fly. The original "Speedee-Bilt" kits were in one-piece two-color boxes. In the early 1950s, shortly before plastic kits were available, Monogram changed to the 'hardbox' with a lithographic slick glued to the top as this kit. Speedee-Bilt kits contained die cut and pre painted wooden parts, completely formed airfoil wings, carved wheels and numerous plastic details like engine cowl, pilot, missiles, prop and more. Assembly was by detailed full size plans.

Still factory sealed. Monogram purchased Aurora's molds in the mid/late 1970s; they had originally released this kit as a promotion with the 1966 TV series 'The Invaders'. The alien craft features moving landing legs, removable top showing full interior and crew and red-tinted clear landing lights. This Monogram issue is not dated from from the box side layout, I would guess that that it is from the 1980s.

Monogram's second issue dated 1996; the molds were purchased from Aurora in the mid/late 1970s. Aurora had originally released this kit as a promotion with the 1966 TV series 'The Invaders'.

Very rare, one and only issue dated 1960. When Monogram invested in the tooling for the 18 aircraft "Air Power" set, the sales did not meet expectations. In order to increase revenue from the molds, Monogram issued three separate kits- the "Refueling Group," "Bomber Group" and "Fighter Group" in the "Forty Niner" series with the Tu-16 Badger, F-101 and P-40. These kits utilized aircraft from the Air Power set with special blue-molded display stands, unique decals and instructions. The two aircraft are well molded with recessed panel line detail. Decals are in amazing 'near mint' condition and the instructions in 'near mint+' condition. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present.

First issue dated 1964 that includes the seal to the lower box (or "tray"). Monogram would sometimes put the seal around the tray with the parts, so that the prospective buyer could lift the top, view the contents and yet the kit would still remain factory sealed. This one includes that seal but it has split open. While present, it is no longer fully sealed and so the kit was inventoried complete. This is a very well detailed and molded kit which builds any of four versions including 2-Seat Night Fighter, day fighter, 'Droop Snoot' with bomber nose and F5 photo recon version. Never started.
