Aurora SNJ Trainer, 1/48, 80-69
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Sold
Rare first issue from 1956 with Jim Cox 'ground scene' artwork and the 1956-only Northern Lights rectangular logo. Aurora's subject choice here was very wise, as almost every one of our US pilots in WWII flew the SNJ or T-6 during training. Features 'good' cockpit, instructor and student pilot figures, rotating propeller and wheels, full landing gear and more. The model is 100% correct inside for the early issue; it is molded in gloss yellow and clear plastic, includes the early West Hempstead clear rectangle-based stand, correct decal sheet with no stand decal and early logo instructions showing the included stand. The kit has never been started and is inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions.
Aurora Boeing B-47 Stratojet, 1/180, 493-49
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
Sold
Rare 2nd issue from 1956. You can see where the 1956 'Northern Lights' logo was blotted out by a yellow rectangle and the new 'Famous Fighters' Oval was added. This issue uses the same classic Jo Kotula artwork from 1956. Molded in high gloss silver and clear plastic. Aurora was known for being efficient and economical; old decals and instructions were always used and this model is a fine example of this. Although the new 'Triangle Base' Map stand came out in 1957, this kit includes the old clear rectangle base stand, correct rectangle base stand instructions and decals as well. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts, decals, instructions.

Pyro 1909 Lozier Briarcliff - Vintage Brass Car Series, 1/32, C455-125
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: NM+
Sold
1967 Pyro issue from original molds. In the early to mid 1960s the Pyro company chose many of the kit subjects based more on historical significance than popularity. Luckily for us, Pyro not only made these kits but did an excellent job for the time. The Lozier was a large four cylinder T-Head rated at 45 horsepower. The wheelbase was 124 inches and she rode on huge 36 x 4.5 tires. This Pyro car model is based on a car that was owned by Thomas J Lester of Chagrin Falls, Ohio that Pyro engineers and designers had access to. The model includes rubber tires, brass plated, colored and clear plastic parts. Features detailed chassis, complete motor and interior and a removable hood. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including instructions.

Sterling Aeronca C-3 - 36 Inch Wingspan for Free Flight or R/C, A25
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed NM
Sold
Still factory sealed and very rare in this condition. This is a large-scale model for free flight, radio control conversion (R/C) or control line. It features die cut balsa parts, die-cut plywood parts, other wood stock as required, vacuform engine, cowling and other detail parts, completely finished scale wheels, metal and nylon hardware for the gas powered version, pre-formed metal gear struts, rubber motor, tissue, propeller, full size plans and a very large color decal sheet. Sterling was a famous manufacturer dating back to the 1930/40s flying model craze. Although they continued to produce kits for decades after the flying model slump following World War II, they eventually fell victim to the general lack of interest in modeling that occurred in the early 1980s. I always considered Sterling models to be deluxe kits as they were very complete.
