Plastic Model Kits
Monogram Japanese Submarine I-19 - With Glen Seaplane - (ex Aurora), 1/275, 3103
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
$62
From the original Aurora molds. The I-19 is famous for firing history's most successful torpedo spread off Guadalcanal. On September 14, 1942, I-19 was patrolling of the Solomons when the crew made visual contact with American forces. After working into position, she fired a 6 torpedo spread; three hit and sank the US Carrier CV-7 Wasp and the remaining three exploded against the BB North Carolina and the destroyer O'Brien. The destroyer sank and the North Carolina was under repair until November 16, 1942. The I-19's Glen seaplane also flew night reconnaissance on February 23, 1942 over Pearl Harbor for the planned second attack by Emily flying boats on that base. She was depth-charged and sunk by DD-446 Radford on 11.25.43, off Makin Island. This large scale kit is almost 16 inches long when assembled. It is an excellent model for that time from Aurora's improved quality and detail efforts of the late 1960s/early 1970s. Aurora knew that the older kits were outclassed and cut a new series of better molds including several ships, helos and subs. The result was higher mold quality and very good detail, such as this kit. Features full hull with excellent molded detail, deck with proper molded-in wood planking, complete propeller & rudder detail, periscope and cranes, Glen seaplane, conning tower, deck guns and more. Includes a display stand. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried and includes all plastic parts and photocopied instructions. NOTE: missing decal and the original instructions.

This is the military version of this unique aircraft which was originally used as an airline transport.

This Ju-86 continued to see limited use in WWII on many fronts and in service to several countries. The ultimate developments of this aircraft were the Ju-86P-1 and P-2. P-2s few at up to 49,000 feet and Ju-86R reached an operational ceiling of 52,200 feet.

Aurora 1931 Miller Special 1931 Indianapolis 500 Winner - (ex Best), 1/30, 523-79
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good++
$139
Very rare and from 1958. The superb box art was painted by Monaghan, who did all of Aurora's Indy 500 winners. This model is from Best molds. Aurora purchased these molds just for the Indianapolis 500 Winners and released only one issue. The kit is molded in white plastic with real rubber tires, a driver figures, some interior detail and very nice decals. It has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts, decals and instructions. Louis Schneider and 'Jigger Johnson' (driver and mechanic) drove the Bowes Seal Special to victory in 1931. The Miller Special had rear wheel drive, and eight cylinder 151.7 CID Miller engine and won the day averages 96.629 miles per hour. The track was dangerously unsafe that year due to a heavy drizzle that made driving over 80 mph dangerous - at one point, drivers were required to slow down to 80 mph and passing was not allowed other than the pit area. There were many spectacular accidents but the rain did relent and there were many speeds over 100 mph in the later part.
Frog Lockheed Ventura PV-1 Bomber/Reconnaissance, 1/72, F240
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+
$375
Very rare. Near the end (in the 1970s), Frog had projected several future kits. In the case of the Ventura, the molds were cut but the kit was never released. Around 40,000 boxes were made anticipating production. Most of the boxes were destroyed. A unknown number of decals sheets were produced. There are no instruction sheets reported. The mold was put in the machine and 100 test shots were run - the only Ventura run at Frog. The 100 test shots were not sold but some found their way into collectors hands. This example is in a 'good+' box with four solid corners, no tears, writing or stickers, excellent color, a crease at the right & another smaller crease at the upper left and light general wear. It contains the decals and parts. I have inventoried the kit and NOTE: it is missing the tail wheel and (1) seat. It is molded in the correct Frog test-shot gloss dark blue and clear. The decals are in amazing 'near mint' condition and include the protective wax cover sheet. The kit has never been started. Please note there are no instructions as none were ever made. Shipping insurance is required for this kit.
