Revell Grumman F9F-8 Cougar - First Issue Pre-'S' 1 Piece Box - (F9F8), 1/52, H203-59
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+
Sold
Very first release from 1953 in the one-piece box. This kit is one of Revell's first three aircraft kits, all packed in this type of box. Revell soon learned that this box was inadequate for plastic models, so they quickly moved to the two-piece hardbox, a medium weight cardboard box folded to shape and glued together with a litho 'slick'. Although this box grades VG, it is in above average condition for this kit due to the nature of the box. This early kit has no landing gear or rivet detail, as is correct for the first issues. The decals are the correct early version from "The Colortone Co." and the instructions are printed on the back of the box. These kit comes with the unique solid color two piece stand (as shown in the instructions) molded in the same color as the aircraft. This stand was only used for the first three Revell aircraft kits (F9F, Cutlass and F-94) and Revell's first Gift Set with these three aircraft. The model is molded in the correct dark gloss blue with a clear canopy. This kit has never been started. It has been inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions (on the back of the box)

Testors Go-Hi - Flying Balsa Wood Glider 11.5 inch Wingspan- Bagged
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed
Sold
Early/mid 1960s Testors factory bag sealed balsa wood glider. The bag is in excellent condition. The glider has 10cents printed on it as this was the retail selling price.
