Maircraft 1/48 TWO Piper Cub Trainer - Solid Wood Model Airplane, S-2 plastic model kit

1/48 S-2 Maircraft TWO Piper Cub Trainer - Solid Wood Model Airplane

Wood Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG

SALE! Includes two complete kits and one plan. Maircraft was originally founded in the early or mid 1930s by Gordon Christoph and went by the name Aircraft Model Company. The company produced a typical line of solid 'profile cut' kits that required the usual high talent levels for carving and finishing. A former Comet Model Airplane & Supply Co. salesman, Jack Mair, bought the company in the early 1940s and renamed it Maircraft. This company was one of the handful of solid kit producers who issued models in a consistent 1/48 scale during the 1930s and 1940s (others included Hawk and Dyna-Model). This lead to one of the most desirable and rare model kits ever produced in the USA - the wood/plastic 1/48 United DC-3 model issued immediately after World War 2. Other than the P-61 and a few other Maircraft offerings, most were simple kits that sold for the low price of about 35 cents and gave the owners many hours of pleasurable work. This kit features a full size plan, 3D cut fuselage, profile cut wings and tail feathers and finished wheels. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions.
