Guillows Curtiss P-40 Warhawk - 16 inch Wingspan Rubber Powered Balsa Wood Kit, 501
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Sold
From the 1960s. One of a very popular 16.5 inch wingspan series of World War 2 stick and tissue flying kits. Includes die cut balsa parts, vacuform nose, wheels, plastic propeller, hardware, vacuform canopy, colored tissue, insignia and full size plans with detailed building instructions. 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.

Miniature Aircraft Grumman F3F-1 (F3F1) US Navy Fighter - 32 7/8 inch Wingspan Balsa Wood Aircraft Kit, 1/12
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
Sold
Very rare. True 1/12 scale flying or display model kit from the 1930s or very early 1940. Miniature Aircraft was well known for turning out arguably the finest scale detailed models during this time - as their catalog says, 'The Worlds Finest Model Aircraft.' The kit cost near $4 when it was new- very expensive considering the most popular model aircraft were 10 cents. The limited production and sales have made all Miniature Aircraft kits rare and valuable today. The model has not been started. Includes all nine printed balsa sheets in 'near mint' condition, a perfectly-factory turned and carved nose, all spars, leading/training edges and strip stock, stock sheet wood, hardwood dowels, factory-sealed 'Banner Streamlight' real balloon tires with light metal hubs, metal wire, separate color fuselage and wing insignia, squadron markings and other insignia and instrument panel printed on the plans (black and white), clear celluloid for windshields (excellent and includes factory tissue protector), scale prop, turned wood thrust bearing, covering tissue and excellent, very large full size scale plans that included text instructions and a large number of detail drawings that leave nothing to chance. The plans are 'very good++' with typical yellowing and a few small edge tears but nothing major. The box top and bottom tray are all original and complete, but the box top has four split corners and clear tape on it along with other general wear and tear typical of a kit this old.

These were called the "US Army Ordnance Series." The kit was 800 Yen and made in Japan; the list constitutes the entire line, no other Tetra kits are known. These kits are all ex-Doyusha and may be 1/35 instead of the listed 1/32. Even the Doyusha issues of these kits are very rare.
