Unicraft Focke-Wulf FW-281 - Focke-Wulf Project VIII Turboprop Fighter - (FW.281), 1/72
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc+
$32
Rare. Nicely detailed, limited-run resin kit. Never started and the parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes instructions. NOTE: if this kit came with decals, then then are missing. The Focke-Wulf FW-281 was one of many of the Ta.183 projects. It resembled the previous P.VII type but the major difference was the turboprop HeS021 engine which provided the combined power of the nose propeller (driven through a long shaft) and the tailpipe exhaust. This project may have reached an advanced stage of development since it was assigned FW-281 and no "P" prefix.

Lindberg Douglas A4D-1 Skyhawk - (A-4), 1/48, 529-79
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
$52
Rare early issue of the Prototype Skyhawk from the mid 1950s. This is the smallest box that anyone has dared place a 1/48 scale A-4 in and the classic box art is by Ray Gaedeck Box. For some reason, this issue is rarer than the other Lindberg kits of that time. This model represents the very early Skyhawk, which is no surprise; Lindberg, like Aurora, often tried to be 'first to market' and did not hesitate to use prototypes for kits. Features detailed jet engine, opening inspection panel, pilot and ejection seat, opening canopy, full landing gear, centerline drop tank, wing rockets and display stand. Never started and inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. The box is graded 'good' because you can see the remains of tape right down the center, just foward of the cockpit.

Comet reached it's peak in the 1930s when they acquired the services of Carl Goldberg. Goldberg was a highly accomplished modeler with articles in Model Airplane News and famous designs that won him several National level competitions in the 1930s and beyond. (Carl Goldberg went on to found his own company and produced well designed and popular free-flight and RC aircraft). Comet survived the post World War economic slump and continued kit production until they were bought out by long-time competitor Guillow's in 1998.

NOTE: there is some confusion about the scale of this kit, which is why I listed it as being about 11 inches long when built. The box lists 1/384 scale while it measures more of 1/310 scale.

Maircraft Curtiss Goshawk - Solid Wood Model Airplane, 1/48, S18
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good++
$24
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 3-view plans with instructions steps and templates, 2D cut fuselage and wings, other wooden parts, and a factory sealed envelope of small parts. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes instructions.
