UPC Airship R-100 with Mooring Mast (ex-Frog), 1/500, 5040-500
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Fair+
Sold
UPC (Universal Power Master)kit from quality Frog molds. Rare and excellent kit. Features a large Montreal Mooring Mast and detailed airship with clear engine pods and passenger gondola. The model includes a clever set of metal rods that allows the airship to be displayed 'floating' in mid-air from the mooring mast. R-100 measures about 17 inches long. The kit has never been started. All parts are still sealed in the internal factory plastic bag. Complete with decals and instructions. The R-100 was built by a Vickers Subsidiary. The famous Barnes Wallis worked on her design, which lead to the innovative geodesic airframe used for the Wellington and two other aircraft. The R-100 made a successful Transatlantic flight. Although there were issues, the design was sound. However, the government-built R-101 was not as soundly engineered and crashed on her maiden voyage, forever bringing an end to the Airship in the British Isles. The R-100 was sold for scrap and R-102 was never built. UPC stood for Universal Powermaster Corporation which was based out of New York City, NY. UPC did not cut their own molds, but bought kits already molded from other manufacturers and re-boxed the kits in the USA. Scott Eidson, the famous artist best known for his artwork with Revell, also did almost all the UPC box art in the 1960s, but this kit is unusual in that it kept the Frog Green series artwork. All UPC production ended in the 1970s.

Airmodel ZMC-2 (Z MC-2) Metal-Clad Rigid Airship - US Navy 1929 - Bagged, 1/72, 237
Vacuform Model Kit, Box Condition: No Box Top
Sold
Rare. Very large 1/72 scale US Navy Rigid Airship. Measures just over 24 inches long when assembled. Features white plastic vacuformed main body, fins , details and a clear vacuform gondola shell. Includes history and instructions/plans. Never started and complete. Typical vacuform kit - some scratch building skills will be necessary. The idea of a rigid airship using a monocoque metal skin had been tried in Germany in 1897 with the 'Schwarz'. In 1929 the ADC tried a more successful experiment with the ZMC-2 - the MC stood for 'Metal Clad'. A supporting structure of twelve ring frames mounted on twenty-four longitudinal lattice beams. This structure was entirely covered with duralumin and pure aluminum foil sandwich skinning amounting to no more than a few hundredths of a millimeter in thickness. This metal envelope was gas tight and was directly filled with helium. Two Wright Whirlwind engines of 220hp were used. The ZMC-2 first flew on August 19, 1929. She had a maximum speed of 48 mph and entered the US Navy as a training vessel. It was scrapped in 1942 after 12 years of trouble-free service.

Sterling 55.5 inch USS Missouri Battleship by Sterling for Radio Control (RC) - Assembled with additional H-R Metal Fittings, 1/192, B-17M
Wood and Metal Model Kit, Box Condition: No Box
Sold
Please read carefully - PICK UP ONLY; no shipping. Very large 55 inch long Sterling USS Missouri built-up model for remote control. Includes (2) 1/192 scale cast metal H-R Fittings Kingfisher float planes and (1) H-R 5" turret. Solid build but needs restoration - this model is NOT in show condition. The center superstructure lifts off to give full access to the interior so that you can fit your own motor, battery and RC unit (not included). This model includes the optional B-17F fittings that have been painted and installed. The model was built up several decades ago and placed on the custom stand. I originally purchased this model with the idea of restoring it using H-R metal 5" turrets, fittings etc but time and space do not permit it. Quality of wood working is very good - the ship is very straight and symmetrical. The paint job is only average however and the paint is old. The important parts are all present (please see photos for details), but it is missing a few AA 40mm gun barrels and one original 5" turret - the H-R replacement is included to make the secondary battery complete. The 5 inch turrets, 40mm guns and other fittings are all available in cast metal which will help greatly with the restoration. Again, this is a PICK UP item only. Please order the item and I will contact you by email. Payment can be by check 14 business days before pick up or by cash, money order or bank check at pick up.
