Comet Boeing 707 Stratotanker (367-80 - Dash 80) - BAGGED, 1/125, PL800-98
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: No Box
$58
NOTE: Bagged kit - there is no box. The box is shown for reference only. Comet originally began model production in 1929 with a line of balsa flying models. In the mid-1950s Comet made a beautiful line of small and medium scale aircraft and missile models with colorful boxes. The early issues were in one-piece 'flip-top' boxes, and the later issues and releases were in standard two-piece 'hardboxes' with a lithograph slick glued to the top box. In 1963 Comet sold the plastic kit molds to Aurora, who reissued some but not all of the kits. There were two Boeing 707 models made. This is the two-piece box larger scale (1/125) 'Stratotanker' - not really a tanker model at all, but a nice kit of the famous Dash-80 Prototype Air Force Tanker/707, which lead to the world's first commercially-successful airliner and the legendary KC-135 air-to-air refueler. Well molded with fine recessed panel lines, full landing gear and prototype decals. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including decals and instructions. NOTE: one lower wing is a gray color instead of silver. It is from another issue of this same kit.

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.
