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. NOTE: this kit has minor 'near mint' quality subassembly as follows: Step 1 (4 gun pieces and 8 carriage pieces) and the periscope (4 total pieces) are assembled. 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.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good

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.

Like all Renwal ships, the details are excellent and the moldings very fine. Includes Regulus I missiles and launchers, moving elevators, full hull, flag sheet, full color decals and an air wing with F9F-8 Cougars (wings folded and unfolded), A3D Skywarriors and Helicopters. 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.

Frog Bristol Blenheim Mk 1 Bomber or Mk 1F Night Fighter Finnish - Romanian or RAF - Green Series, 1/72, F190
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
$24
This kit will build night fighter or bomber version and has decals for all three aircraft listed. It is a typical excellent Frog model with clean, quality moldings and no rivets, just fine panel lines. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. Frog is considered the father of injection molded model kits. The Lines Brothers opened Frog in 1932, capitalizing on the fever caused by Lindberg's solo transatlantic flight. Almost overnight the western populations became 'Air-Minded', and anything aviation was in high demand. Frog created a quality line of stick and tissue rubber powered aircraft and gliders as well as innovative ready-to-fly rubber powered aircraft that required no assembly. The box even contained a built-in rubber motor winder and fuselage holder. Model airplane flight competitions were popular in Great Britain, and one category was 'Rise Off the Ground', or ROG. By changing this to 'Flies Right Off the Ground', the FROG name was born. In 1936 Frog created a line of injection molded plastic models, the first such kit line in the world (Hawk sold a line of injection molded aircraft models in 1934 but they were factory assembled and painted). Named 'Penguin' after the bird that does not fly, the kits were innovative beyond the means of production. At a time when models were simply built by wingspan, the Penguin line was a constant 1/72 scale. Furthermore, a large 1/72 Short S.30 Empire class flying boat contained a full interior and lights! A line of accessories such as AA guns, tractors, hanger, ambulance, sound locator, searchlights and lighting kits were quickly added to the line. WWII caused a pause in production. After the war the box color changed from silver to green, and Penguin kits were also marketed in the USA. Production ended in 1950. Frog quickly expanded and released the Red, Orange, Black, Green, Gold Token, Spin and Comet series as well as Trail Blazers and several others. It is noteworthy that while most manufacturers in the 1940s/50 were making toy-like models, Frog attempted to make very realistic models. For example, 'detailing' kits with excessively large rivets was once very popular. Frog ignored this trend and continued to mold aircraft with fine panel lines and no rivets. As a result, Frog kits can be built into very realistic replicas. Production ended in the late 1970s, but Frog molds are still in use around the world.
