In addition, there are 25 vintage very collectible hardcover books and 4 paperback books about planes from WWI and WWII. Books will be shipped separately using MEDIA MAIL to save money on shipping. Please note that the shipping quote given by eBay is an estimate, please wait for actual shipping costs from me before paying the auction end invoice.
I'm selling these for an elderly friend with a very sentimental attachment to this collection since his brother collected and built these (as an adult.) His brother died prematurely, and my friend wants this collection to stay together, if possible. I know that selling these 114 items individually would most likely raise quite a bit more money (even at an average of just $10.00 each, which is a very low estimate based on my research--just one of the unbuilt kits {Zeppelin airship} sells for $100 on eBay ), but my friend wants them to go together. I'm happy to take additional photos of any items if you'd like to request them. I tried to identify the planes that I could with either the box front, instructions, or my friend's recollection. I welcome questions and offers. If you're interested, please contact me through the "Contact Seller" link.
