1/48 Resin F/A-18E Super Hornet Cockpit Set (for Hasegawa) Avionix #48009 MISB

Description: I need to clear some space on my shelves, so I have to part with some of my collection. I came across a supply of outstanding Avionix resin upgrade sets for modern jets, so I bought a bunch. I am keeping a few for myself and selling off some of the duplicates. I won’t do a big write up on this, but here is what I have found online about this particular set: The products in the Avionix line have an interesting history. From what I have learned from Mike Benolkin, the molds started with Kendall Model Company (KMC). KMC is no longer in business (according to Scalemates.com); although you can still find their products around if you look hard enough. When KMC stopped making these nice resin upgrade sets around 1999, they sold the molds to Squadron, who produced the sets under their True Details line. The story doesn’t end there because the artist from KMC went on to continue making excellent upgrade sets as part of his own Black Box company. That is where this set was born. Black Box has since gone away and again Squadron stepped in to keep the line going. This time, they are producing the old Black Box products under their Avionix line. Now that Squadron has been shut down and restarted under new management, the future of these products is up in the air. Scalemates.com has a listing that shows the Avionix logo, but nothing about this set – not even the release date. They do show nine Hasegawa kits that this set was designed for. They also have links to other products and reference materials (books, walk-arounds and galleries) to help with your build. This set is in a plain white box about 5” x 3.5” x 2.5”. As you can see from the pictures, the box is in great shape and is still shrink wrapped, so it is factory sealed and absolutely gift-ready. This item contains several highly detailed resin parts to detail the cockpit of your own Hasegawa 1/48 F/A-18F Super Hornet kit (not included). I use eBay Managed Payments, but I no longer ship internationally. Auction winner pays only the winning bid because for a limited time I am offering this item with Free First Class Shipping in the US! No reserve and a low starting bid. Check out my other great auctions and listings for combined shipping. Good luck! Those familiar with my listings can tell that I really enjoy these products and the modeling hobby. I like to provide more than just the bare facts about the items, trying to lead you into discovering more about the subjects and optimizing your builds (if that is your goal). I started out picking up models that I was interested in, with the eye toward building them when I had time. Always a bargain-hunter, I accumulated many more than I can build, so I found myself in a Collector status (sounds nicer than a hoarder). As I am sure you have noticed, my items are almost always sealed and in mint condition (I call them Gift-Ready), since I only open them when I am ready to build them. Now I enjoy making these products available to my fellow modelers; both Builders and Collectors. For the Builders, there are probably better (at least cheaper) ways to add to your project lists than buying from me, but you know you are getting top quality. For Collectors, my goal is to save you a few bucks over the competition for the same item in factory sealed and collectible (or resellable) condition.
