Aurora Avro CF-100 Canuck All-Weather Fighter, 1/67, 137-100
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed VG+
Sold
Still factory sealed but the seal has drawn the box concave, primarily on the bottom. Fantastic Jo Kotula artwork. Box is dated 1960, but the oval logo without the 'Famous Fighters' and the 100 price extension would date this at about 1962 or slightly later.
Sterling Stinson Reliant SR-8 Gull Wing - 57 inch Wingspan Aircraft for RC, FS-33
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Sold
Very large and high quality kit with 57 9/16 inch wingspan. Designed for RC and .40 to .56 size engines, but easily converted to electric power. Features top grade die cut and numbered balsa parts, step by step full size plans with instructions, scale decals, linkage hardware, vacuform cowl, wheel pants, strut fairings, formed aluminum landing struts and much more. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including decals and instructions. Sterling was a famous manufacturer dating back to the 1930/40s flying model craze. Although they continued to produce kits for decades after the flying model slump following World War II, they eventually fell victim to the general lack of interest in modeling that occurred in the early 1980s. I always considered Sterling kits to be deluxe kits and they are still highly popular to this day.

Airfix Short Sunderland III, 1/72, 681
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc+
Sold
Type 3 logo 1960s issue 'Porcupine'. The box is excellent with like-new color and gloss, four solid corners and light general wear as the only flaws. The kit has never been started and is still sealed in the internal factory bag. Complete with decals and instructions. The Sunderland's 21-year record with the RAF has made it a legend. Derived from the Empire Class Flying Boat Airliners, Sunderland IIIs had a top speed of 210 mph and an endurance of 12 hours. These qualities made the Sunderland a superb platform for North Sea and North Atlantic patrols, ASW and SAR. Crews usually loved the airplane; its large size afforded many airborne comforts that bomber or fighter crews could only dream of, such as bunk, a head and an area for food preparation.

Sold
From the late 1950s or early 1960s. Guillow's Sky Streak is a 12 inch wingspan rubber band powered stick model with colorful printed graphics.

The box has never been opened and the kit inside is mint.
