Sterling Aeronca C-3 - 36 Inch Wingspan for Free Flight or R/C, A25
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+
$69
From the mid 1960s. This 36 inch wingspan kit is designed for rubber free flight, radio control conversion (R/C) or control line. Features die cut balsa parts, die-cut plywood parts, vacuform engine, cowling and other detail parts, completely formed scale wheels, metal and nylon hardware for the gas powered version, pre-formed metal gear struts, rubber, tissue, plastic propeller, clear windshield material, full size plans, other wood stock as needed and a very large color decal sheet. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including decals and plans/instructions. Sterling was a famous manufacturer dating back to the 1930/40s flying model craze. Although they continued to produce kits for decades after the flying model slump following World War II, they eventually fell victim to the general lack of interest in modeling that occurred in the early 1980s. I always considered Sterling models to be deluxe kits as they were very complete.

There are one or two trading cards on each box which show the boxart but not the advertising/logo. Some kits contain a Testors color painting guide also, but it is not specific to any model.
