MPC Model Kits
MPC Star Wars Return of the Jedi B-Wing Fighter, 1-1974
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++
$19
1983 issue tied into the release of this famous movie. The model is 7 inches long when built and features rotating cockpit with pilot, folding cross wings and excellent surface detail. Includes a clear display stand. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. The box displays better than the 'very good++' rating but is graded as such because there are two short pieces of masking tape on the box - one each on the long upper and lower sides. Easily removed if soak them in lighter fluid first.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
$45
In the 1970s, MPC released the very popular Profile Series. Inside each box was a quality Airfix kit but with MPC decals to build any of the aircraft shown on the box top. In this case there are decals for four aircraft. This is a well detailed model that features a great deal of interior and all crew stations, opening bomb bay doors, full bomb bay detail, complete weapons load, moving ailerons, elevators & rudder, optional position landing gear and more. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. The decals are in amazing 'near mint' condition which is very rare for these 1970s MPC kits. But before you use any older decals, please read the two articles (on this website) about saving and also reproducing old decals.
