This is a HO scale craftsman kit from Alexander Scale Models. Alexander produced these superb kits well after the advent of 'ready to run' plastic trains.

Features metal monitor roof, sides, ends, stairs and platforms, pre-shaped hand rails, brake wheels, roof vents and stack, bolsters, queenposts, pre-shaped truss rods, turnbuckles and real sprung metal trucks. There is a pre-cut and drilled wood floor. Includes full plans and instructions, along with two decal sheets for all the lines listed, as well as stripes, gold trim designs, enough letters and numbers for any line and two colorful US Eagles with shield decals. NOTE: the roof vents have been installed. Quality of construction is excellent - they are all straight, the same height and there is no visible adhesive. Inventoried 100% complete including decals and instructions.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
Sold
Very rare 1970s original series kit with the interior light up option. The forward control and crew's quarters are internally lit with four light bulbs.

It features a very large stand, special color tinted clear windows, light bulbs, battery holder, contacts and all wiring. All parts and instructions are correct for this rare version. This kit has never been started. Inventoried complete with all parts, decals and instructions.

Aurora American Classics 1914 Stutz Bearcat, 1/16, 156
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Sold
1974 issue of Aurora's 'Super Detailed Museum Model with Plated Parts'. Done in a big 1/16 scale, this kit and the other 'American Classics (previously released as the 'Old Timers') in the series represented a significant leap forward in quality for Aurora. It builds up a rolling chassis with transaxle, suspension, exhaust and driveline detail and includes a detailed interior with separately molded instruments. Molded in bright red, black and with brass plated parts and real rubber tires. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts and instructions. Aurora was renowned for turning a profit and for keeping expenses down. In researching new kit subjects, they came upon a forgotten jewel - the Hudson Miniatures line of 1/16 scale wooden kits. Hudson had discontinued this line due to lack of sales of wooden kits. But the Hudson models were second to none in quality, research and documentation. Aurora was quick to realize this and used the research and layout from these kits to create the subjects for this 'Old Timers' series. It is fortunate for us that they did, because in most cases this is the only injection molded kit of these rare and classic early automobiles.

Revell 1915 Fiat Tourer - Highway Pioneers, 1/32, H55-89
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++
Sold
1953 early issue molded in red acetate plastic. This kit has never been started. All parts are still sealed in the factory 'crinkle' bag with instructions. This is from the issues produced with Gowland & Gowland as it carrier their 'balloon' logo on the side. Before the 1950s 'model building' never made the top 10 list of boy's activities. Hobbies were nothing new to America in the 1930s/40s, but they were not mainstream. Shortly after the turn of the century, many dedicated modelers built flying or static airplanes, ship, train, automotive or other subjects. Basic kits existed, but the majority of these models were built from scratch, which demanded a high talent level developed from years of experience. That changed in the early 1950s. The phenomenon of the Revell/Gowland & Gowland 'Highway Pioneers' car kits was a significant force in proving that model building as a hobby could have mass appeal, provided that the kits were easy enough to build and finish. These 1/32 scale vehicles could be built in an hour after dinner and looked much like the real car. The Highway Pioneers series lead to the production of other subjects in plastic and the effect was revolutionary. By the early 1960s, model building was the #1 past time of American boys.

Hasegawa General Dynamics F-102A Delta Dagger - California Air National Guard, 1/72, 1047
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+++

When designed in 1950 the F-102 was a radical departure from conventional early jet fighter design. The delta wing allowed supersonic performance and good low speed handling.

The F-102 equipped all 25 of the ADC squadrons in the day, served in SE Asia and equipped many ANG units.
