Rare original issue dated 1953. This is one of Revell's very early ship kits, issued shortly after the release of the Missouri in the same year. Inside, the kit has never been started and has been inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present. The box is 100% intact with remarkable color & gloss and four perfect corners. It does have a tiny litho chip at the center of the Revell red and white logo bars if you look closely. Thank you to Joe Couture for his important note about this kit: "The PT212 is a HIGGINS built boat, unlike the ELCO version made by most other manufacturers. The ELCO was effective and widely used in the Pacific, whereas the Higgins, somewhat smaller, could turn and accelerate more sharply, and was used in the Mediterranean against Italian shipping, all along the coast of the "Boot"."

1971 issue of this large-scale and well detailed kit with RAF South East Asian markings.

Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present. Decals are for GQ-F FL804 of 134 Sqdn., 1944-45. This aircraft is reported to have participated in the reconquest of Burma, and to have flown ground attack missions in support of the Allied landings at Rangoon. It appears the box artist may have intended to depict that operation (thanks to Dusty Rhodes for that information about the box art aircraft).

Very hard-to-find. Still factory sealed and from 1964. Few remember that Revell had a separate line of 1/24 scale Slot Car accessories that sold under the "Winner's Circle Speed Equipment" banner. Revell also packaged Goodyear tires in this same type package; there were other items as well and in both 1/24 and 1/32 scale. These Firestone Sponge Slicks have maximum traction and width and a Shore-hardness raing of 25 (super-soft).

Very rare original 1964 release of Ed Roth's incredibly popular Revell Monster Series. This is the 5th in the series. This is not a later reproduction. Features an approximately 6-inch figure of Dinghead Gremmy Surfink 'Hot Dogger' with movable wrists and movable arm, surfboard, optional Surfink action positions including standing in riding position, hang ten or hold board, Roth eyeball decals, "Real Wave" display base and a bonus 2 inch Crab! The kit has never been started. The parts, decals and instructions are still mint and in the factory sealed bag. Literally the entire contents of the kit are in the factory sealed bag. The box has splits as shown on the box top; they have been taped up on the back of the box to stabilize the damage and ensure no further splitting. The four box sides are 'excellent' but the top is only 'good-' as shown, hence the final box rating of 'good-.'

This first issue from 1956 has beautiful artwork and it's easy to see how Revell 'S' kits are considered the pinnacle of model kit box art and are so valued today. This hardbox has superb colors and gloss, four perfect corners, no tears or missing litho and no fading. Light general wear and clear tape remains at the center of the two long sides are the only significant flaws. Molded in the correct gloss silver and clear plastic and includes the famous Revell clear 'Globe' Swivel display stand. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. The decals are perfectly flat and 100% intact but please NOTE that they have some typical age micro-cracking and several very light brown spots on the backing paper.
