Monogram Speedee Bilt B-17 Bomber - Memphis Belle, 1/62, H3-495
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Sold
Very rare, classic early multi-media kit from 1954 with a fantastic internal part presentation. Features the amazing Monofoil Wing, dozens of cleanly die-cut balsa wood piece on factory-painted sheets, completely precarved fuselage blocks and other pieces, injection molded clear parts for all windows and canopies, nose and tail sections, wing tips, crew members, turrets, propellers, cowlings, wheels, nacelles and more, Monoglue cement unopened in the original box, four glass bottles of Monodope which are all still good and more. Includes a beautiful full-size fold out plan, a highly detailed and heavily illustrated instructions booklet, extensive full color decals and even a small catalog showing the full Speedee-Bilt line, Superkit line, Jet Racers and even Monogram's first two plastic kits (P-1 Midget Racer and P-2 Hot Rod). This kit has never been started. Inside, all of the internal cardboard presentation material is in amazing 'near mint' condition. All of the parts in the three upper trays are still factory tape sealed. All the parts that were not sealed have been inventoried complete. The plans and instructions are in 'excellent+++' condition and the decals are in 'excellent++' condition with light yellowing as the only significant flaw. The box displays better than the 'good' rating but is graded as such because of the heavy edge wear and hole shown on the lower center/left box edge, two factory tape tears on the long sides (about 1.75" long and 3/4" wide) and other general wear as shown. Please note, this kit must be shipped insured. These models have a fascinating history. Before injection molded plastic kits were common, Monogram issued the famous 'Speede-Bilt' and 'Super Kits' which featured injection molded details and precarved wooden parts. Of these, the Speede-Bilt B-24 and B-17 were the finest. These kits are rare today because there was only one issue, their relatively high 1950s price of $4.95 and the fact that injection molded plastic kits came out one year and were taking the US market by storm; it was the end of the wooden kit era.

Airfix HMS Ark Royal Aircraft Carrier - Type Three Issue, 1/600, F408S
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Sold
1960s issue Type 3 logo model and one of the best injection-molded Ark Royal kits. This is a full hull model with excellent detail for that time and an airwing of Fairey Fulmars. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. This aircraft carrier was the third vessel of the Royal Navy to be named Ark Royal - the first ship took part in the defeat of the Spanish Armada, and the second was being constructed as a tanker when the Royal Navy took it over and converted it to become the first seaplane carrier. The Ark Royal III was launched in April 13, 1937 and was very active during WWII. She was reported sunk several times by German sources. She took part in the defense of Norway. In October of that year, she and Renown went to the South Atlantic to hunt for the Graf Spee. Later her Skuas took part in a gallant but failed attack the Scharnhorst. She then moved to Gibraltar with Force H. In May of 1941, she took part in the search for the Bismarck. Her Swordfish torpedo aircraft scored two hits, one of which jammed the rudders of the German Battleship while she was in a tight turn. This hit sealed the fate of Bismarck, and she was sunk. If this hit would not have occurred, she would have made safe haven at Brest. In November of 1941, the Ark Royal was working the dangerous escort of Malta convoys when she was struck by a torpedo from U-81. Despite all attempts to save her, she went down. Only one sailor lost his life.

Revell Bristol Beaufighter Mk IF - Flt./Lt. John Cats Eyes Cunningham's Aircraft, 1/32, H251
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good++
Sold
1974 issue. Well detailed large scale kit of the British night fighter with airborne interception radar. The Beaufighter was flown by aces such like Flt./Lt. "Cat's Eyes" Cunningham, whose markings are included. His final score stood at 20 victories and his aircraft is depicted in this model. Kit features detailed Bristol Hercules engines, removable cowling, two flight crew, optional position landing gear, full crew cockpits and radar antenna. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. My friend and model builder Stephen Payne high recommends that the purchaser of any Beaufighter Night Fighter model invests in a copy of the book "Night Fighter" by C.F. Rawnsley. Rawnsley was John Cunningham's Airborne Intercept radar operator throughout WWII in both Beaufighters and Mosquitoes. The book is the story of their time and combat together and makes excellent reading.
High Planes DAP (Bristol) Beaufreighter RAAF WWII Transport - (Beaufort X) - Two Australia RAAF Decals Options - Including Japanese 'War is Over' notification, 1/72, 72006
Multimedia Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++

Features well-detailed moldings with fine recessed surface detail, many cast metal parts, vacuform canopies (perfect condition and clear, not yellowed), detailed cockpit and full decals for two different aircraft. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. The original Bristol Beaufort was developed for the RAF as a general reconnaissance and torpedo bomber in the latter part of the 1930s with a first flight in October of 1938. As part of a move to bolster Australian defenses in WWI, it was decided to built this aircraft in Australia also. A pattern aircraft and parts for 20 Beauforts were shipped south. Beauforts built in Australia by the Department of Aircraft Production (DAP) and were all equipped with Pratt & Whitney Twin Wasp engines. Initial machines were delivered to the RAF No. 100 Squadron in Singapore but they were handed over to the RAAF in early 1942. In addition to the P&W engines, Australian Beauforts incorporated other chances as well such as increased chord fins for better handling, fully enclosed retractable undercarriage plus many other small external and internal equipment changes. Generally, Australian Beauforts were Marks 5 through 8 for bombers and Mark 9 for the Transport conversion often referred to as Beaufreighter. In all some 17 front-line squadrons employed Beauforts in the anti-shipping and general bombing rolls in the SWPA and many others used them for varied tasks ranging from transport, search & rescue and testingg.
