Thank you for viewing our listings. We add new inventory weekly to our eBay store and sincerely appreciate your business. All of our items are from our closed aviation art gallery or museum, or from our own extensive personal estate collection. We are a private party seller, not a big retail company. Buy with confidence from our family. We value our 100% eBay seller rating! Please be sure to add us as a "favorite" seller to get the latest listings delivered to your inbox. 

If you follow our store, (and you should) you know we generally only sell top end museum and collector quality models, kits, and other fine aviation, military, and assorted unique collectibles. However, recently I have found several boxes of nice assorted items that never made it to our museum or gallery display for a variety of reasons, some of which were purely duplicates and excess inventory. These items may have their  "issues" such as decal loss, minor repairs, needed repairs, glazed canopy's, a small nick or scratch, a missing part, chips, box staining or shelf wear, storage or shipping damage. These items will be offered at discount prices to compensate for needed upgrades, repairs, parts loss, cleaning, and so on. Items are as shown and sold as-is, as-found. Please view the photos carefully prior to purchase. What you see, is what you will get. Items are non-refundable. All purchases will be shipped with care and properly packaged regardless of value.

Offered here is a hard to find U.S. Army P-38 wood kit by Marvel Manufacturing Co. from 1942. The kit is bagged meaning no box. Includes plans and good condition balsa to build your model. See photo's. Sold as shown.

Below are a few things to know and consider when making purchases from us. Our goal is a clean, trouble free purchase and sale. We value our customers and appreciate the courtesy of making things right before leaving neutral or negative reviews should a need arise. Five Star feedback is always our goal and helps us achieve greater exposure here on eBay. 

1) All items unless otherwise noted, are sold "as-is", "as-shown", in USED condition. Please view all photos and ask questions before bidding. Pictures are worth a thousand words. Please view them carefully.  Need more pictures of the item? Please ask. We are pleased to provide additional photos. What you see is what you will receive. If its not in the photos, it is not included. We do our best to fairly and accurately represent our items, but in some cases due to the rarity of the item or its age and condition, little information may be available.  We do not inventory our kits, or open sealed items or antiques for completeness unless noted as such in our listings. These are estate sale items and presented in the condition found.

2) We do NOT offer refunds or returns unless otherwise noted in the listing. No refunds will be issued for missing parts, instructions, manufacturers defects or scale. We do not issue refunds because you decided you don't want the item or have misused it. At our sole discretion we may consider a refund based upon circumstance in limited cases. Should a refund be offered, buyer will be responsible for the cost to return the item to seller in the same condition in which it was sold. Seller will issue a refund to buyer less the original shipping cost paid by seller. 

3) Damaged items. We make a valiant effort to carefully package all of our items for shipment.  In the majority of the cases we use USPS as our preferred shipper. Items valued at less than $100 are insured by USPS without additional cost.  Items over $100 would require insurance to be purchased at an additional cost to buyer unless otherwise included in the shipping cost stated in listing. If you would like to insure your item please let us know before paying. Risk of damage is that of the buyer and buyer must contact USPS for any claim or compensation.

4) We do NOT ship Internationally UNLESS specified and item is within weight and measurements of International Shipping Standards. Buyer is fully responsible for all costs associated with the shipping, import fees, or customs costs of the item purchased. International Shipping through the eBay Global Shipping Program is mandatory.

5) Combined shipping is considered if all items are purchased at the same time. Please put the items in your basket and ask for an invoice. We are not here to make money on shipping, just covers our costs.
