Karo-As Focke-Wulf Fw-58B Weihe - Austrian Air Force / German Luftwaffe, 1/72, AM-0372
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++
$46
Rare, limited run injection molded kit with all fine recessed panel lines and an injection molded canopy. The kit has never been started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. In August of 1933, Focke-Wulf responded to a bid from the Technisches Amt of the RLM to develop a twin engine training aircraft. Focke-Wulf was able to design and build it's entry, the FW-58, faster than Arado could theirs. The first flight of Fw-58 V-1 took place on January 18, 1935. There were no problems and the aircraft fulfilled all requirements. This design proved so successful over the years that Fw-58s were used as transition trainers from single to multi-engine as well as these other training rolls: dedicated multi engine, bomber, blind flying and navigation, gunner, radio operators, reconnaissance and more. Fw-58 also served as passenger aircraft with Lufthansa, others flew freight and some were used for search and rescue. Foreign operators were numerous and included Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovakia and Sweden. The reliability and robustness of the design was legendary. As just one example, the Sweden flew these aircraft until 1960.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good++
$145
Rare. First issue from 1967 with Boeing prototype markings. The kit contains two large 18 inch long SSTs, one in landing configuration and the other in cruise configuration. The Boeing SST modeled here is the second (2707-200) variant which still had the swing-wing design which proved impractical in this aircraft. The damaging effects of sonic booms over population centers ultimately contributed to the cancellation of the project. Molded in the correct butterscotch and dark brown plastic. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present. The decals are flat and 100% intact but there is a very light stain on the very left edge of the sheet; it is semi-circular and about 2.5 inches long (along the edge) and 1" into the sheet.

Huma Model Messerschmitt Me P1106 - (P.1006), 1/72, 3006
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+
$28
The P1106 was a jet-powered one-seat fighter for very high speeds (possibly supersonic). It was intended to replace the Me P1101 which had already been under construction in 1945. The P1101 served as the basis for the P1106. By rearranging different assembles and changing some geometry better flight performance could be obtained. However, Messerschmidt favored other jet designs because of the very high wing pressure and pilot visibility. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions.
