Model Shipways American Civil War Union Coffee Wagon, 1/16, MS4016
Wood and Metal Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed NM
Sold
Still factory tape sealed. Very well detailed, large scale model with Britannia metal fittings, laser-cut ply and basswood parts, spoked wooden wheels with metal hubs and axles, scale tubing and bucket, realistic decal sheet and more. Coffee was the staple of the Union Amy. Each soldier received a daily ration of 1/10 pound of green coffee beans, which they had to roast and grind themselves. This was not always convient to do given the environment and other required tasks. The volunteer-staffed Christian Commission served better coffee to the troops at long-term encampments, but could not move with the troops. Innovation was needed. In 1863, Jacob Dunton of Philadelphis converted an artillery caisson and gun carriage into a coffee wagon that was able to 'march' with the army. It carried three wood fired urns that brewed up to 105 gallons of fresh coffee each hour. Instead of shot and gunpowder, the ammunition chest carried coffee beans and grinders. The wagon was pulled by a standard limber.

There is no other assembly and zero painting. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present. The Skybolt was a plan to deliver an ALBM (Air Launched Ballistic Missile) from a B-52 to greatly enhance it's survivability. Skybolt failed 5 of 6 initial tests, but finally was successful. However, the program was canceled due to the availability of the Polaris SLBM. Plans to equip the RAF Vulcan with Skybolt fell through and left with British with no modern nuclear force, causing them to adapt the Polaris SLBM and passing strategic nuclear capability from the RAF to the RN. AGM-28 Hound Dog was a sleek design to help B-52 penetrate thick SAM defenses. Hound Dog could use it's engines to help the B-52 during take off and then could be refueled from the B-52's tanks. This was an important point as the B-52 carried 2 of these missiles at 5 tons each. Hound Dog had a range of 200 to 500 miles (depending on launch height) at Mach 2.0 and an accuracy of one mile at those ranges. The warhead was 4 megatons. SRAM was a nuclear-armed short range missile carried in quantity of 20. SRAM was designed to blast holes in defenses in front of the B-52 and for the final target. Quail was a decoy that would mimic the B-52 with radar reflectors, infrared, radar repeaters and chaff decoys. Quail did reach operational status and operated on some Hound Dog-equipped B-52s.

Revell Boeing SST Supersonic 2 Kits (2707), 1/200, H262-300
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
Sold
Rare. First issue from 1967 with Boeing prototype markings. The kit contains two large 18 inch long SSTs, one in landing and one 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. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. NOTE: the supersonic version (wings swept back and molded with the fuselage) has closed crack in the lower fuselage half and a outboard section of lower wing broken off. It fits back perfectly and is an easy repair. Especially if you are building it; then glue the upper and lower fuselage halves together then install the part on the underside.

Comet reached it's peak in the 1930s when they acquired the services of Carl Goldberg. Goldberg was a highly accomplished modeler with articles in Model Airplane News and famous designs that won him several National level competitions in the 1930s and beyond.

Comet survived the post World War economic slump and continued kit production until they were bought out by long-time competitor Guillow's in 1998.
