The kit contains all the items shown on the box top within the road boundary including a display mat with grass and roads, clear nuclear reactor vessel, separating reactor dome for full view of interior, movable gantry with operational hoist, working reactor hoist, circulating pumps, steam generator, turbine, electrical substation, high tension tower and separate power lines, service truck, crew, sign, border fence and much more. Includes the book "A New World of Atomic Power" by Dr. William E Shoupp at Westinghouse. The box top is solid and in very good condition. There is general wear and light stains as shown in the photo. Overall it is very presentable, with all four sides being in as good or better condition as the top. This kit has never been started.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc+
Sold
Late 1960s Pyro issue from original molds. In the early to mid 1960s the Pyro company chose many of it's kit subjects based more on historical significance than popularity.

This model is well detailed and the box states that it can be converted to a 'road racing' or slot car. Never started.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed VG++
Sold
Very rare factory sealed kit for the advanced Aurora collector. The model came from the first owner of the kit who bought it new. In those days, Aurora sealed kits with two very thin strips of tape on the box top sides extending to the bottom of the box. This box still has those two tape seals intact. The box condition is very good with like new color and gloss and no price tags. The top of the box grades much higher than 'VG', but one long side has wear, which brought down the box grade. This is the first issue of this classic kit. Note the oval sunburst logo with 'Famous Fighters' in the boarder. Dates from about 1957/59. Well detailed for it's time with 96 parts. Has many action features including movable wheels, breech, recoil mechanism, limber and gun trails.

Hudson Miniatures 1913 Mercer Raceabout Lil' Old Timers 'Quickie Kit', 1/32
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc+
Sold
Rare. When the Gowland/Revell 'Highway Pioneers' burst upon the hobby scene in 1951, they started a hobby revolution. Plastic model kits were not new in 1951, but successful mass marketing of plastic kits was new. The sensation swept the country, and Gowland & Revell could not make the kits fast enough. The fact that the public was buying these models shocked the successful hobby establishment. One such manufacture was Hudson Miniatures. In the 1940s, Hudson had established a name in making 1/16 scale 'Old Timer' models of automobiles. These were excellent kits with wood and metal parts, but a high degree of skill was required to carve and finish the wood parts. In the late 1940s, they added some injection molded plastic parts (usually acetate wheels) to the series but did not consider a completely plastic kit. When Hudson saw what was happening with the Highway Pioneers, he began to design his own 1/32 scale line called 'Lil Old Timers', which hit the stores in 1954. An early paper fold-out catalog shows 18 models including some real gems like the 1910 International Harvester Passenger Car, 1911 Brush Delivery Truck and 1906 Columbia Electric Car just to name a few. The line was bought by Revell a short time after it's release, and Revell did reissue some (but not all) of the kits. As you would expect from Hudson, this is a nice kit with excellent moldings and detail for the time. Never started. Factory sealed bag or inventoried 100% complete with all parts and instructions.
