Cleveland Grumman F6f Hellcat - Balsa Flying Model Airplane Kit, 1/16, M-97
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Sold
This is a Cleveland scale flying model in the agreed museum scale of 1/16. All Cleveland kits were exceptionally complete for the time and this one is no exception. Features very high quality balsa printwood and strip wood, fully formed nose/nacelle, wheels & thrust button, full color insignia, covering material and more. With superb, high quality CD plans with instructions. The model has not been started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts and instructions. The Cleveland Model and Supply Company played a pivotal role in the development of true scale models. In 1909 Bleriot's English Channel flight caused a surge in aviation and model aircraft around the globe. Several companies were ideally positioned to take advantage of the aviation craze. In the USA, Wading River Manufacturing Co. (1909), White Aeroplane (1911), Ideal Model Aeroplane (1911), Broadfield Model Aeroplanes (1919) were among these pioneers, offering everything from plans and parts to complete kits and ARF models. Lindbergh's 1927 crossing of the Atlantic Ocean caused an even bigger world-wide phenomenon called 'The Aviation Craze' that extended up to the start of World War II. Many companies such as Megow, Guillow's and others started right around the time of Lindbergh's flight. Some of these models flew and flew well, but they all had one thing in common - were generally not accurate scale representations. In 1929, a youngster named Ed Packard had a very advanced dream to produce incredibly accurate, true scale models that flew perfectly. This radical idea established the world's longest operating single-owner model airplane supply business, called Cleveland Model and Supply Company. To this day, Cleveland models are treasured as the most accurate flying scale models produced. The fact that Mr. Packard started and successfully grew this business during The Great Depression is a testament to his ideals and business skill. I highly suggest the excellent book called 'Aviations great Recruiter, Cleveland's Ed Packard' by H.L. (Herm) Schreiner. It is an excellent history of the man, his company and the times of the Golden Age of Model Aviation.

Fine Molds Kugisho R2Y1 Keiun, 1/72, FP23
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Sold
Rare. This an excellent injection molded model that features all fine recessed surface detail, 'good' cockpit with two crew stations, detailed gear wells and more. Includes a painting guide and full decals. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. From the website www.daveswarbirds.com: The Yokosuka R2Y Keiun ("Beautiful Cloud") was designed to be long-range high-speed land-based reconnaissance aircraft whose superior speed would hopefully prevent its interception by enemy fighters. A project with the designation R1Y1 Seiun (“Blue Cloud”) was started and resulted in a design similar to the P1Y1 Ginga bomber, but as calculated performance fell short of meeting requirements, the project had to be abandoned. A new design was started in 1943, and was designated the R2Y1. The R2Y borrowed from the German pre-war Heinkel He 119 in its use of coupled engines driving a single propeller. It also featured a tricycle undercarriage giving it an appearance similar to the Messerschmitt Me 509. Completed in April 1945, the prototype made a short flight on 8 May, but was destroyed in a US air raid only a few days later, thus ending development. A proposal was also made to develop the R2Y into a turbojet-powered light bomber by replacing its piston engines with two Ishikawajima Ne-330s. Designated the R2Y2 Keiun-Kai, the design was also begun to work on second prototype but it was never completed.
