HASEGAWA
KIT JS-066, BOEING F4B-4, 1/32
I bought
this kit at the time of its release in the US. It is as new with
all the grey parts, decals and transparency still in the original
sealed plastic bag. The decals and instructions are excellent.
The box is excellent with a slight indent in the box-top and box-bottom--so
slight, it does not show in the box-top scan. This is a very accurate
and detailed kit and builds up into a fine replica. SOLD!
HELLER Kit
No. 396, POTEZ 63-11, 1/72
I bought
this kit at the time of its release in the US. It is as new with
all the grey parts, decals, transparencies and instructions with
all the parts on their sprue. All are in excellent condition.
The box is also in excellent condition with some peeling of the
thin plastic-laminate. This was an advanced kit for its time and
is more accurate than the current 1/48 scale JMGT resin release.
US$12.00.
HELLER Kit
No. 394, POTEZ 631, 1/72
I also bought
this kit at the time of its release in the US. It is as new with
all the grey parts, decals, transparencies and instructions. All
parts are on their spruce except the tail-plane and all are in
excellent condition. The box is also in excellent condition. This
was an advanced kit for its time and is more accurate than the
current 1/48 scale JMGT resin release. SOLD!
HELLER Kit
No. 393, BLOCH 174, 1/72
And, I bought
this kit in the '70s at the time of its release in the US. It
is in excellent condition with all the olive-green parts, decals,
transparencies and instructions. All 50 parts are on their sprue
and are in their original sealed plastic-bag. The instruction
sheet has an assembly diagram, parts-list and three-view. The
box-top is in excellent condition, the bottom is very good. This
was an advanced kit for its time and except for lack of interior
detail is an excellent kit today. This is the first issue with
crisp moldings--there is a great difference in the quality of
the moldings, the earlier are more crisp. US$!2.00
Fujimi KIT
NO. 5H3-200, WESTLAND WASP A.S. MK 1, 1/50
Released
in the early '70s, I bought this kit at that time. It is as new
with all the dark-green parts still in their original sealed plastic
bags. The transparencies are also still in their original sealed
bag.The decals and instructions are excellent, as is the box.
This is a 1/50th scale model NOT a 1/48th. And this is a very
early issue with Japanese-only instructions. US$15.00.
DOUGLAS SKYRAIDER,

Published by Aero Publishers
in 1969, this is the First US Soft Cover Edition. An early but
thorough history of this aircraft, it is 7" X 10" with
144 pp and contains over 160 very clear black & white photos,
5 pages of line-drawings and 8 pages of color side views, beautifully
done by T. Maruyama or H. Yamauchi. This is a well illustrated,
quite good summary of aircraft-information, including development
and use. My copy is in very good condition with some slight rubbing
on the covers. US$14.00.
HAWK Model
No. 562-100, GRUMMAN F8F-2 "BEARCAT"
Issued in
1967, this is FIRST "1/48" plastic kit of the Grumman
F8F-2 "Bearcat" and was the only model of this aircraft
in this scale for years. This is an accurate model of the F8F--Hawk
worked with IPMS USA in its production. This was as good a kit
as anyone produced at the time, including Monogram. All parts
are present in excellent condition and are on their sprues--they
are molded in a dark-blue plastic. Though the fuselage panel lines
are inscribed the wings and tailplane lines are raised. Ordinance
is included. The instruction sheet and decals are also in excellent
condition as is the box. The instruction sheet includes history,
assembly and painting information. The kit is as new. US$12.00
