Merlin Models Hawker Osprey Frog Penguin Replica, 1/72
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
$38
Ever wonder what it was like to build the world's first injection molded model kits? Well, now you can thanks to Merlin Models very limited edition replica of this historic Frog Penguin kit. Nicely molded. Also includes photocopies of the original Penguin instructions. The kit has never been started and is still sealed in the internal factory bag with all paperwork. In the late 1930s, before WWII, Frog created the world's first line of injection molded plastic model kits. Since Frog stood for 'Flies Right Off the Ground' and Frog had a famous line of flying models, the world's first all injection molded kits were called Frog Penguin for the bird that does not fly. The Penguin Osprey was among the early pre-war releases by Frog. The kit is reproduced from actual Frog Penguin kits belonging to the extensive collection of the owner of Merlin Models. Only 2000 copies were made and each is serial numbered.

Hawk Lockheed U-2 Spyplane, 1/48, 209-200
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
$32

Features a 22 inch wingspan, fine raised panel lines, 'good' cockpit with pilot, two piece canopy that can be displayed opened or closed, full landing gear and outriggers, standing pilot, optional position air brakes, optional antenna and 'sniffer' pod and more. This kit is actually the basis for the Testors U-2 variants in this same scale. Molded in a very dark blue and clear with a large orange stand. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. The box has slight crushing and heavy creases on the left side and center left as shown in the photo.
Hawk Nieuport 17 - Flip-Top Box Issue, 1/48, 706
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Fair+
$39
First issue from the early 1950s in the one-piece box. Molded in high gloss yellow and black. The model has not been started. Complete with instructions and all parts. This kit is from early in this first issue, and the first kits were not issued with decals. In the 1920s through the 1940s Hawk made constant scale 1/48 aircraft kits from wood. In 1946 they added plastic injection molded kits to the line and were possibly the first injection molded kit manufacturer in the USA. When Hawk made an early jump to all-plastic kits they kept the 1/48 scale and created these new one-piece boxes with two color artwork.

Gee Bee MkIV Float - 33 Inch Long Floats For R/C Aircraft
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
$36
This box contains a set of 33" long floats that are completely assembled and ready to mount (not a kit). They will attach to any conventional landing gear or you can assembly your own strut assembly to attach them to. These floats work equally well in water or snow and can be attached and removed in less than 3 minutes; includes mounting bolts and spreader bars. Made from a very lightweight (and hollow) plastic, they are strong & durable and will not puncture in a ground landing. The plastic is paintable. The kit has never been started. The small parts are still in the factory sealed bag; the larger parts that were never sealed have been inventoried complete and includes all paperwork. NOTE: this kit came in a very sturdy and thick cardboard box. It will ship in that box wrapped in thick brown paper. If you wish for it to be placed inside another box, let me know in the 'comments' section of checkout but be aware that additional shipping charges will apply and an invoice will emailed to you for that.
Mania THREE Mitsubishi Type 99 Ki-53 Sonia And THREE Type 97 Ki-27 Nate, 1/72, 01-800
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
$32
SALE!! Includes all 6 kits in the 2 boxes shown. NOTE: Sold AS-IS and not inventoried. This collector was very meticulous and of his thousands of kits that I did inventory, 95% are complete. But on these kits he cut the sprue (trees) with the part numbers still attached to each number, so the parts are loose. Because of that, I have not inventoried these kits. NOTE: he built minor sub assemblies (cockpit tubs, wing halves, etc.) to 'professional' quality. Again, these kits are sold not inventoried and AS IS hence the very low price.
