Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
$35
Rare 1970s three-stage solid-motor rocket kit that is 24 3/4 inches long. Flies over 2,000 feet up with a combination of 'A', 'B' or 'C' engines. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. I always viewed this rocket as a very fancy version of Estes' three-stage 'Farside.'

MPC 1904 Darracq, 1/32, 2-1020
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
$42
The Darracq was designed and built when France was the international center of motor vehicle excellence. While Britain, American and Germany either rejected the motorcar, showed indifference or activly fought to eliminate it, the French accepted it with open arms. As a result, the Darracq and other fine designs were the best automobiles in the world. The model is from 1975 and is a nicely molded kit of this successful early gasoline powered automobile. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes instructions. Other kits in this series include the 1912 Ford T, 1905 Rolls Royce and 1930 Bentley

Never started and the parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. On January 10, 1945, Hitler held a conference during which the staff discussed ways that the Luftwaffe could restore a degree of air superiority. During this discussion, Hitler suggested to Goering that the 50mm cannon be installed in a '262 so that it could open fire at longer ranges with more telling results. Two different cannon were examined; the Mauser Mk214A was chosen over the Rheinmetall Borsig BK5 and was installed in Me-262 W.Nr. 111899. The aircraft made the first flight in February of 1945. The pilot, Herget, flew the craft in practice against ground targets then actually flew to operational missions against a US bomber formation. On both occasions the gun jammed. A second aircraft was built, but it likely did not fly before the end of the war. American forces captured this second aircraft (named 'Wilma Jeanne' and then 'Happy Hunter II') but it crashed while being flown to France. The decals furnished in this kit are for that second prototype.

Her totals were as follows: 20 Battle Stars, 911 Aircraft Destroyed and 71 Ships Sunk. She took part in almost every major action of the Pacific war from 1941 to 1945. The fascinating history of this ship is told by Commander Edward P. Stafford, USN, in his legendary book "The Big E - The Story of the USS Enterprise."

Jo-Han 1956 Plymouth Belvedere Front Bumper / Rear Bumper / Four Wheels - Promo - Bagged, 1/25
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed NM
$18
Includes the chrome plated parts shown in the photo. The chrome plating is in 'near mint' condition with only very slight and small flaws. These are from the original Jo-Han molds but are likely reproductions made in the 1990s. They came with a collection of promo bodies, windshields and chrome parts. I am 99% sure that these parts will also work on the Jo-Han model kit (and not just the promo).
PZW TWO Jantar Standard Gliders / TWO Mucha Gliders / Waku Yakovlev Yak-17 / TWO Yak-7, 1/72
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
$28
SALE!! Includes all 7 kits in the two boxes and 3 bags shown. NOTE: Sold AS-IS and not inventoried. This collector was very meticulous. Of the many thousands of his 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 often 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.
