StromBecker North American FJ-2 Fury, C-46

Wood Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good+

$74   

Beautiful kit from the 1950s made of quality Western Pine hardwood - no balsa. The carving is done to the final shape and when completed it makes an impressive model. Features all carved and smooth wood parts, clear plastic canopy, full color decals, glue, sandpaper and a special hardwood 'teardrop' shaped display stand with a preformed 'flight wire' model holder. Never started. Inventoried complete with all parts and plans. Before plastic kits were introduced, Strombecker was famous as the premier hardwood preshaped model manufacturer. In the 1940s and 1950s, Strombecker kits were flawlessly engineered but not inexpensive. All wooden parts are hardwood and are precarved to shape - you only had to glue, sand and paint to finish them.

Monogram Boeing 2707-200 SST United Airlines, 1/400, PA211-100

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good+

$98   

This is the 1968 release of this kit, which may have only been issued twice. The Boeing SST was modeled here in the second (-200) variant which still had the swing-wing design which proved impractical in this aircraft. The damaging effects of sonic booms over population centers ultimately contributed to the cancellation of the project. Nicely molded with all recessed panel lines. The kit has wings that swing, United Airlines decals and a unique display stand. This kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions.

Amodel Yermolayev Er-2ON - Er-2 ON Soviet Long Range Transport, 1/72, 72110

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Exc

$52   

Rare. The Er-2ON was derived from the Er-2 Long Distance Bomber which was designed by V.G. Ermolayev and first built in Aviation Plant #18 in Voronezh in 1940. Several dozen Er-2s were built before the start of WWII. In 1944 Aviation Plant #39 in Irkutsk mass produced a new version of this aircraft with diesel engines. Pilots like this aircraft for the stability, robust construction and comfortable cockpit. Irkutsk produced 391 of the Er-2 variants between 1944 and 1946. At the end of 1944 the design bureau of P.O. Sukhoy made four aircraft with a comfortable passenger cabin for government officials, and these were called Er-2 ON, which is this model kit. The model features fine recessed surface detail, good cockpit, correct passenger window configuration and more. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions.

1940s flying model kit from the Golden Age of model aviation. Kit consists of stick and tissue construction and is intended to be rubber powered. Includes printwood sheets, strip wood in two sizes, completely carved main gear wheels, rough-cut balsa prop, balsa blocks, tissue, clear canopy material and metal stock for the landing gear and hardware.
