Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good++
Sold
1952 early issue molded in yellow acetate plastic. The model has not been started. Factory sealed 'krinkle' bag or nventoried complete with all parts and instructions. Before the 1950s 'model building' never made the top 10 list of boy's activities. Hobbies were nothing new to America in the 1930s/40s, but they were not mainstream. Shortly after the turn of the century, many dedicated modelers built flying or static airplanes, ship, train, automotive or other subjects. Basic kits existed, but the majority of these models were built from scratch, which demanded a high talent level developed from years of experience. That changed in the early 1950s. The phenomenon of the Revell/Gowland & Gowland 'Highway Pioneers' car kits was a significant force in proving that model building as a hobby could have mass appeal, provided that the kits were easy enough to build and finish. These 1/32 scale vehicles could be built in an hour after dinner and looked much like the real car. The Highway Pioneers series lead to the production of other subjects in plastic and the effect was revolutionary. By the early 1960s, model building was the #1 past time of American boys.

Airmodel Junkers Ju-90 V1-V4 and Production - Civil or Military Transport Bagged, 1/72, 209
Vacuform Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Sold
Generalleutnant Wever was largely responsible for the resurgent Luftwaffe. In addition to being an excellent planner, he was a believer in strategic bombing. One of his developments was the Ju-89 four-engined bomber. However, his death in 1936 in an air accident brought all such development to a close. Junkers, however, saw use for the Ju-89 as a civil transport. They used the original wing, four engine installation and tail unit for the Ju-90 V-1 (D-AALU) with four DB600A power plants. This prototype and the second (D-AIVI) crashed shortly after the test flights began. V3 (D-AURE) was much more of a success and V4 D-ADLA was the forerunner of the Lufthansa production series. Ten of the very large airliners were built. Passengers traveled in comfort in five compartments seating four to each side of the isle. The ten airplanes had hardly entered service when WWII began and the Luftwaffe took them over. The kit has parts to build several versions of the Ju-90. It includes wheels for all versions, all engines except for 002 and 004 (Production numbers 2 and 4), and the fuselage is suitable for V1/V2/V3/V4, 003, 005/006/007/008/009/010. This kit has not been started and has been inventoried complete with all parts, plans and instructions. Not recommended for builders who are not experienced with vacuform kits.
