Revell Northrop F-89D Scorpion - 'S' Issue with Early One-Piece Stand Arm, 1/80, H221-89
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc++++
Sold
1955 first issue in the 'S' hardbox. Fantastic early artwork in exceptional condition. Color and gloss are like new and all four corners are solid with no repairs. This kit contains the true first issue one piece stand arm to the Revelving base. In practice, this arm was too brittle and weak and broke very easily. Revell was quick to replace it it and change the instructions accordingly. The new arm has two parts and continued in production until about 1960. This kit also has the correct 1st issue instructions showing the one piece arm. Molded in the correct high gloss silver and clear. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including decals and instructions, which are also as new.

Multimedia Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Sold
Large 1/48 scale kit of a rare subject. The original prototype flew in September of 1938 but was destroyed in the same year. Prototype #2 flew in December of 1938 and included many refinements. Prototype number three flew after the German occupation in June of 1939. The design was successful and was reconstructed into the B-135 prototype and patterned for series production. Twelve machines were built for Bulgaria and were delivered in 1943. They did see action and one shot down a B-24 on March 30, 1944. The aircraft ended their careers as trainers after World War II. The kit features very high quality main vacuform airframe parts with fine recessed panel lines and all injection molded details. Vacuform part detail is better than many injection molded kits.

In some cases, the specific car and owner is on the box. The model includes brilliant blue injection molded parts, clear parts, detailed chassis, complete engine, removable hood and full interior.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Sold
SALE!! First issue from 1956 with square Northern Lights logo.

The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. James Cox, who did much of the early artwork for Aurora, created a timeless classic for this issue - this artwork was used well into the 1960s and possibly up till the final 'Big A' logo boxes before Aurora's demise. Mr. Cox also did unique artwork for the early Aurora Catalogs as well. Please see the article about Mr. Cox located on this website.
