Toms Modelworks Baloa Class With GUPPY Upgrade - Portsmouth Or Electric Boat, 1/350, 350-11

Resin Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG

Sold   

Rare. This is a complete multi-media kit and not a conversion. It includes a wide variety of parts to build one of several different Baloa Class Submarines once they were given the "Greater Underwater Propulsion Power Program" (GUPPY) conversion. Features a beautiful high-definition cast resin hull, choice Electric Boat or Portsmouth resin sails, many cast metal and brass PE details, different fittings and radar for different boats and more. Includes text and illustrated instructions. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes instructions. The Greater Underwater Propulsion Power Program (GUPPY) was initiated by the United States Navy after World War II to improve the submerged speed, maneuverability, and endurance of its submarines. The navy began the program by testing and reverse engineering two German Type XXI U-boats—U-2513 and U-3008—obtained as war reparation. That analysis led to four goals—increasing the submarines battery capacity, streamlining the boats' structures, adding snorkels, and improving fire control systems. The navy immediately focused on designing a new class of submarine, but the Bureau of Ships believed the fleet of existing Gato, Balao, and Tench-class submarines could be modified to incorporate the desired improvements. In June 1946, the Chief of Naval Operations approved the GUPPY project. The initial two-boat test program, implemented by the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, eventually grew into several successive conversion programs. Those upgrades proceeded in seven variants, in the following order: GUPPY I, GUPPY II, GUPPY IA, Fleet Snorkel, GUPPY IIA, GUPPY IB, and GUPPY III. Some boats that went through an early phase were then upgraded further in a later phase.

Guillows Curtiss Robin - 1930s Sport Plane - 24 Inch Wingspan RC/CL/Rubber Powered Kit, 305

Wood Model Kit,   Box Condition: Sealed Exc+

Sold   

Still factory sealed and from 1965. This is a large-scale and well designed kit that can be flown rubber free flight, gas free flight, or converted to electric RC using today's small and light servos and receivers. Features plastic engine heads and cowl/radiator, quality die-cut balsa parts, strip wood and spars, die-cut plywood firewall, fully finished wooden wheels and thrust button, metal stock as required, rubber motor and plastic prop, metal propeller shaft, clear cabin window material, covering tissue and a big sheet of excellent decals. Includes high-quality full size plans with detailed instructions. Guillow's founder, Paul K. Guillow, was a WWI naval aviator. In 1926 he began producing wooden model airplane kits. His 'Shelf Models' were some of the earlier non-flying models in production. Guillow's grew during the model boom of the 1930s, and when the Depression hit the hardest, Guillow's responded with lower prices and became one of the low price leaders, frequently advertising in Model Airplane News and other leading publications. During the war, like most manufacturers, Guillow's was forced to alternative materials such as cardboard and pine. Guillow's survived the post WWII slump by creating many inexpensive profile flying rubber powered aircraft and gliders in the 1950s (along with North Pacific) which became famous - some are still available today. The stick and tissue lines have been updated with laser cut parts and are still in production as of 2009.
