Yunyj Tyechinik Mikoyan Gurevich Mig-19, 1/48
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Sold
Classic Cold War kit. This is a 'Yunyj Tyechinik' release and not the earlier MZMPI. This company succeeded MZMPI (which was the first kit manufacturer in the USSR) and continued till a new name was introduced in the mid 1970s. Ironically, this is clearly the old Lindberg Mig-19 molds...how did they end up in the USSR, and how did these terribly incorrect molds get issued in the home of Mikoyan Gurevich? If you have any details, please email me. Never started. Factory sealed bag or inventoried 100% complete with all parts and instructions. Kit did not come with decals.

Solido Nord Griffon II, 1/54
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc+++
Sold
Very rare kit of the unusual Mach 2+ ramjet/turbojet design. Solido produced a small line of plastic kits in the early 1960s but by 1967 all production ended. Very cleanly molded and large kit in sliver, black, clear and red plastic. Original tube of Monavac cement is still included and is still good! Decals and instructions are excellent. Kit has never been started and is 100% complete. The Griffon was dual propulsion like the Leduc 022; a turbojet was used for takeoff and got the airplane to speed, where the ramjet took over. The Griffon performed well, reaching a top speed of Mach 2.19 in 1958. However, there were difficulties with the ramjet design. The program was cancelled in favor of the Mirage family of fighters by Dassault.

Joe Ott Lockheed P-38 Lightning Bild-A-Set 36 inch Wingspan, 104
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc+++
Sold
Dated 1944. Large 36 inch wingspan issue. The Joe Ott desinged 'Bilt-A-Set' series was the height of the classic stick and tissue flying model kits- not just for the box art, but also for the contents. The large wingpspan kits were the top of the Joe Ott line and had a price tag to match. They were out of reach of most children in the 1940s. Fewer were produced, which makes them harder to find today. In a time when most kits came only with white tissue, printed wood and plans, the Bilt-A-Set line box came chock full of parts and features like Assembly Line jigs for straight fuselage and nacelles, Speedlok Clamps, Die cut plywood or balsa parts sheet, die cut cardstock sheets, colored tissue, color printed national markings, clear window material, fully illustrated instructions and more. This kit has never been started. Parts are still all in the sheets; none have been punched out. 100% complete - all sheets and accessories present.
