SMP 1957 Pontiac Star Chief 4 Door Hardtop Friction Drive Promo, 1/25
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+
Sold
Original dealer promotional model. It is 100% complete. This is a one-owner model that has always been adult owned. It has the metal chassis factory-painted black and stamped "S.M.P. Mt Clemons Mich"; the friction motor still works. The tires are factory new - it has never been played with and never exposed to smoke. The body is very good but has slight warping - the worst of which is at the rockers. I repaired by sliding a small piece of balsa in (friction fit only - easily removed) since the body is still flexible. Body color is nice but has some light foxing. Chrome is in 'good++' condition and the clear is like new. Some of the fine trim (door handles etc) has been painted to 'professional' quality; it is good enough to pass for factory paint.

Aurora P-51 Mustang Screwdriver Issue - (P-51D), 1/27, 377
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed NM
Sold
Still factory sealed but the seal has split on the left side. Very rare kit dated 1972 with the Big A logo. This model was designed to take a gas motor for U-Control. But Aurora discontinued the gas powered line very shortly after introduction due to returns and liability. Since the investment was already made in the molds, Aurora marketed these kits as large scale static models. For example, the 1/32 scale B-25 was issued in Gas U-Control and then static - but the P-51 may have only been issued in static.

Excellent example of the third issue of this model. Softbox issue is dated 1966 and shares the same art as the second issue, but has a four digit number instead of the 'PC' part number. The actual date of this kit is likely 1968 as the '66 date is the artwork copyright. Very highly detailed and well molded in black, white, clear, chrome plate and with rubber tires. This kit is among my favorites; it is a joy to build and looks fantastic when completed, even with no painting.

Rare issue. Includes full interior. Molded in very light blue, gold and with rubber tires. The kit has never been started. Inventoried with all parts vs. the instructions and it is complete including decals and instructions. Please note: the instructions do not show a windshield nor is it in any of the steps. There is no windshield, but I have listed this kit as complete because the instructions do not mention it. And perhaps that is correct, because there is no windshield on the box art. But you would think it would have had one.
