KP Skoda D.1 (D-1), 1/72, 29
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Fair
Sold
Very cleanly molded and well detailed model. Includes decals for one Czech Air Force and one Civil aircraft. The kit has never been started. Internal factory sealed bag including decals and instructions. The D-1 has an interesting history. The Skoda Works Aircraft Division was created to build the first Czech metal fuselage aircraft, then to move to an all metal aircraft. Due to a lack of experience in this field, the famous French firm of Emile Dewoitine was contacted. Dewoitine had been developing a promising fighter called the D-12C-1. Skoda wished to build this aircraft under license, but the future of the D-12C-1 for the French Air Force was uncertain. Eventually the D-12 was abandoned for the D-19C-1, which resulted in the D-21C-1, which saw series production. An agreement was finally reached with Skoda to produce the D-12 and the first aircraft was completed in 1928. A further 25 were built by 1929. The design was very rugged but outclassed by more agile designs. Due to the high durability, they lead a very long service life, being fully retired in 1939.

Saito Saito FA-325R5 (FA325) Five Cylinder Radial - - Gas Engine for RC Flying Model Aircraft
Metal Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Sold
Tested engine in excellent condition. The collector that I bought it from was very particular and he would run his engines on a test stand for ten minutes to ensure proper operation. From the looks of this engine and the very, very tiny amount of exhaust inside the exhaust manifold pipes, this seems very realistic. I do not have a way of testing this engine. Also, all of the mounting hardware is present and has never been used. The wiring harnesses are in as-new condition as well. The engine turns by hand perfectly smooth and has excellent compression, as you would expect. Includes the following Saito accessories: spanner (for tappets, still sealed), screwdriver (still sealed), four hex spanners (allen wrenches), spanner for muffler & intake manifold (still sealed), needle valve extension bar, F-1 Fuel Filter (still sealed), glow plugs, wiring harness set for glow plugs, (2) leather washers, (4) engine mount bolts and washers (never used), (4) blind nuts for mount bolts (never used), muffler ring (never used), (5) exhaust manifolds, offset wrench for prop nut (still sealed) and (4) engine mount spacers (never used). From the accessory list, the following two are missing: syringe for fuel priming and (.1) tappet gap gauge. Includes a photocopy of the 27 page Saito instruction manual. The original box contains the factory packing foam which cradles the engine for shipping. This engine must be shipped insured.
