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.

Sterling Fokker D-7 Fires Rockets In Flight (D-VIII) - 24 Inch Wingspan Flying Aircraft, A1-298
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Sold
Like so many of the special feature Sterling models, this one does something cool: it launches rockets automatically in flight! The Sterling Nieuport II has the same system; other models such as the Stuka and P-6E drop bombs in flight; another actually drops leaflets while another crop dusts. This model is from the 1970s and is designed to fly one of three ways; free flight (rubber or gas, control line or R/C. If you are experienced, you can even make it electric powered R/C. Features precision, die-cut balsa wood parts, lightweight and detailed plastic cowl with radiator front, machine guns & pilot bust & engine cylinder top section, fully formed wheels with rubber tires, complete rocket firing system with fully finished rockets, launching tubes and hardware, plastic propeller, fully formed wire landing gear struts, rubber motor, covering tissue, a large decal sheet and superb Sterling full size plans with instructions. Never started and the small parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags; the larger parts were never sealed and have been inventoried complete. Includes decals and instructions. Sterling was a famous manufacturer dating back to the 1930/40s flying model craze. Although they continued to produce kits for decades after the flying model slump following World War II, they eventually fell victim to the general lack of interest in modeling that occurred in the early 1980s. I always considered Sterling kits to be deluxe models due to their many additional features.

The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and 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.
