Hasegawa Boeing B-47E Stratojet - USAF SAC, 1/72, K7
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
Sold
Features very good detail, fine raised panel detail and recessed control surface outlines, good cockpit, opened or closed bomb bay doors, internal iron bomb load, tail "stinger" and detailed landing gear and gear wells. Never started. The small parts are still in the factory sealed bag; the larger parts are not sealed and have been inventoried complete. Includes decals and instructions. The B-47 was a very advanced aircraft at the time. The XB-47 first flew in 1947. The big jet's speed was equal to or greater than all current fighter aircraft, so it received radar-controlled twin 20mm cannons in the tail as the only guns. Through the use of mid-air refueling, the B-47 gave SAC it's first all-jet force for nuclear or regular bomb delivery. Although it was tricky to fly, Stratojets flew into the mid 1960s. A program to strengthen the wings for low-level attack was responsible for prolonging the service life.

Guillows Bristol Bullet - 18 inch Wingspan Rubber Powered Balsa Wood Kit, WW-7
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
Sold
One of a very popular line of World War 1 flying aircraft stick and tissue kits with 18 inch wingspan. This kit features scale plastic wheels, plastic propeller, light vacuform nose cowl, die cut balsa parts, covering tissue, rubber motor and full decals. Includes full size detailed plans. Never started and 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.

Sold

The Stella was a STOL aircraft much in the sense of the Fi-156, but it's performance was superior in every way. Horsepower was almost 30% greater and fowler flaps were fitted and synchronized with variable incidence horizontal tail surfaces for dramatic STOL performance. The ship was easy to fly and found favor in all theaters as a communications aircraft. In 1942 7 Stella were placed on the Akitsu Maru and used as ASW aircraft. Decals are included for two Akitsu Maru paint schemes and one unknown unit.
MPM Focke-Wulf Fw-189 V6, 1/72, 72516
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Exc
Sold
Still factory sealed and the only 1/72 scale kit of the V6 variant. The Fw-189 made it's first flight in the late 1930s and was ordered into production soon afterwards. However, in 1938, the V1 prototype was returned to Focke-Wulf for modification into the V1b close support aircraft. The fuselage was replace with a small structure consisting of mostly armor plate. However, this aircraft found itself in with the same problems plaguing it's competition, the Hs-129 V1 - it was too heavy and underpowered. After being destroyed in a crash, the V6 (this model) was built as a back up for the Hs-129 which was also still in development. Eventually the Hs-129 was developed into a fine aircraft and there was no need for the V6 '189. This is a beautifully molded model with all very fine recessed panel lines, very good two-seat cockpit (gunner and pilot) and much more. With paint guide and decals resulting in the latest research of this rare aircraft.

Airfix DH Comet 4B - Dan-Air Skyking Series, 1/144, 03170-7
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Good-
Sold
Still factory sealed but the seal has split and shrunk with age and drawn the box top convex on the top side, left side and bottom. Very nicely detailed and molded kit from 1980 features clear windows, full landing gear and passenger boarding stairs. Includes colorful Dan-Air London decals. The initial Comet Is were in operation long before the 707, which gave the British an incredible post-war lead in the expanding civil aviation market. Just as the Comet was flying high and orders were pouring in from around the world, Comets began to mysteriously fall out of the sky. Everything from lighting to terrorist bombs were blamed. For months the root cause went undiscovered. Then, in a landmark investigation that is considered the first modern post-crash autopsy, it was discovered that the stresses around a small ADF window on the top of the fuselage were causing metal fatigue failure when the fuselage was pressurized. To confirm this, a Comet I was placed in a water tank and subjected to pressurization stresses. After some time, a dramatic failure occurred. Then parts of a crashed Comet were pulled from underwater proving once and for all that this was the root cause.
