Airfix Fairey Rotodyne - Type 2 Logo Issue, 1/72, 482

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG

$58   

Early issue from the late 1950s. This was a well detailed kit for the time and builds up to a nice scale model.

Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. NOTE: two propeller blades are broken at the hub and are present so they can be repaired. The Rotodyne first flew in 1957.

The Rotodyne flew at up to 191 MPH with a range of 450 miles and a payload of 48 passengers or 5 tons of freight. Despite the excellent performance and a larger design in the works, the RAF never placed an order and BEA never placed a firm order. The project was discontinued in 1962.

Hudson Miniatures 1913 Mercer Raceabout - Lil' Old Timers Quickie Kit, 1/32

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good

$36   

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 marketing had never been done before. 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 existing 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 finish the wood parts. In the late 1940s, they added some injection molded plastic parts (usually acetate wheels and lamps) to the series but the rest of the kit remained wood. When Hudson saw what was happening with the Highway Pioneers, he began to design his own 1/32 scale line of all-plastic cars 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. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including instructions. The Mercer was perhaps the most famous sports car of it's day, and it can be successfully argued that it was America's first sports car. The 30 horsepower 'T' head 4 cylinder engine sped it along at over 80 miles per hour. A 1914 Mercer clocked 112 mph at Daytona Beach - no mean feat for that age.

Pyro 1909 Lozier Briarcliff - Vintage Brass Car Series, 1/32, C455-125

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG++

$40   

1967 Pyro issue from original molds. In the early to mid 1960s the Pyro company chose many of the kit subjects based more on historical significance than popularity. Luckily for us, Pyro not only made these kits but did an excellent job for the time. The Lozier was a large four cylinder T-Head rated at 45 horsepower. The wheelbase was 124 inches and she rode on huge 36 x 4.5 tires. This Pyro car model is based on a car that was owned by Thomas J Lester of Chagrin Falls, Ohio that Pyro engineers and designers had access to. The model includes rubber tires, brass plated, colored and clear plastic parts. Features detailed chassis, complete motor and interior and a removable hood. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including instructions.

NOTE: this kit has very minor and neat assembly: 3 eyelets are glued to the hull. There is no other assembly. NOTE: the hull below the waterline only is painted green.

Lindberg Landing Ship Dock Motorized - US Navy LSD With 15 Landing Craft - Cellovision Issue, 1/288, 721M-298

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Fair

$165   

Rare 1950s Cellovision issue with fantastic Ray Gaedke artwork. This hard-to-find, large model of this invasion craft measures roughly 20 inches long when assembled and is engineered and motorized for operation in water; includes the electric motor and has plenty of room inside for conversion to R/C operation (R/C equipment not included). The model features operating cranes, complete deck fittings, detailed superstructure, numerous LCVP craft with separately molded loading ramps and more. Never started and inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals, instructions and motorizing parts present. The box displays better than the 'fair' grade but is rated as such because the kit has been opened exactly the way that Lindberg recommends - by cutting it open on the back along one long side and the two short sides. Believe it or not, I actually have Gaedke's original painting used for this box art. I obtained it and about 15 other box art painting from one of Lindberg's later owners in the 1980s.

Molded in glossy olive green and black. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions.
