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:

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.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/373931386922SUBROC II. These two Subroc models are desk models, not development models, but they seemed unique enough to be worth including.

I also ran into some models sold by Alex Panchenko that I was going to post, but then I found out they were fraudulent.
