Ebay, Craigslist, and Facebook Findings - Development and Prototype Models

[Harold Biondo]

Hello all. My area of interest is armored vehicles, and I have a growing collection of developmental/prototype models related to that. I regularly search Ebay, Craigslist, and Facebook Marketplace for new models that come up for sale, and when doing so I regularly find interesting aircraft models. I don't have the money or space to buy all of those in addition to the ground vehicle models, so I usually just save the link somewhere and forget about it. I had the idea to make a thread here to share those finds, and maybe give a place for other people to post theirs as well. I specifically care about unique models which were development items or presentation models, not desk models and gifts, which tend to be 'mass'-produced in small batches. If you find any such models of military ground vehicles I'd be interested in them; otherwise, here's the planes:

60’s McDonnell Douglas Factory Model - aviation - by owner - airplane aviation parts - craigslist

Very rare factory model used to support sales of their radar pods to the military. Model is in very good condition and comes complete with its original wood travel case. $150 Or reasonably close...

McDonnell Douglas Radar Pod
Craigslist links do not update whenever the listing reposts, so they will quickly break. You can re-find this item in the future by searching for "60’s McDonnell Douglas Factory Model" in Knoxville TN.
