Renwal Model Kits

Renwal M-50 Ontos - The Thing With The Sting, 1/32, 557-149
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
$32
Very highly detailed kit from the late 1950s/very early 1960s that features working treads, some interior detail, opening hatches and covers and more. The kit has never been started. Inventoried and the tank is complete but NOTE: missing three crew members. Otherwise complete with all other parts, decals and instructions. The Ontos was a unique vehicle. Ontos is a Greek word for 'The Thing' and the vehicles lives up to that. Developed along a new concept in mobile warfare, the Ontos has little defense other than movement but a very powerful offensive punch. It carries six 106mm recoilless rifles and .50 caliber spotting rifles. The firing sequence went like this: the crew of three would get out and hand-load the six large guns. Then the Ontos would quickly move towards the target. Once sited, the gunner would fire the .50 caliber spotting rifle. This gun fired a different cartridge, a special low velocity round that matched the trajectory of the 106mm. The spotting round was very accurate and made a visible flash on striking the target. Then he could fire a full salvo of 6 or in steps of two. The 8.5 ton vehicle would then speed away, moving to a safe location to reload.

Renwal Nike Ajax Anti-Aircraft Guided Missile - MIM-3 With Launcher and Crew, 1/32, M550-169
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+++
$95
Fantastic kit from the 1950s in an 'excellent' condition box. The classic artwork shows the Nike Ajax blowing up what appears to be a B-17 over an American city. Judging from the fiery blast from the launching Ajax in the background, these two ground crew may not make it away from this missile in time. This is a superb model for that time that still rates well today. Features detailed missile with separating stages, operating control surfaces, operating launcher and more. The launcher is designed to connect other models to form an entire Nike Ajax Battery for the ultimate diorama. Molded in olive drab and white. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions.

If you want to build the model, I recommend the superb Starfighter Decals 1/500 Cold War Cruisers which has multiple sizes of hull numbers in large quantities and much more.
Renwal Skysweeper 75mm Anti-Aircraft Gun - M51 (D48), 1/32, M552-169
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
$95
First issue from the 1950s of this fantastic Cold War kit with 134 parts. It is very highly detailed and features almost all the moving features of the real weapon.

The main gun is not glued to the carriage assembly. There is no other assembly Inventoried and the actual gun itself is complete but NOTE: missing five figures. Otherwise includes all other parts, decals and instructions present. The Skysweeper was a 45 round-per-minute anti-aircraft gun system that was teamed with the Nike Ajax in the late 1950s/early 1960s to defend America against Soviet Attack. The gun system was radar controlled and fully mobile. It could be set up on any terrain and ready to fire in 2 minutes. The unit was considered very advanced and complex at the time; it took army maintenance crews 37 weeks each to train on the system at Aberdeen.

Hardbox issue from the late 1950s. This is far and away the most accurate injection molded kit of this ship in the Post-WWII early angled deck configuration.

The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including all parts, decals and instructions. NOTE: one helicopter rotor blade is broken off but present for repair.

Original Renwal issue from the late 1950s; not a common modern reissue.
