Strombecker Boeing B-47 Strato-Jet (Stratojet) - 12.5 inch Wingspan Solid Wooden Aircraft Kit, C-45

Wood Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG++

Sold   

Classic large 12.5 inch wingspan kit. Made of solid, completely precarved Western Pine - not balsa. Builds up to an impressive display model.

The winch can be used realistically to pull other models. The jacks can be extended and lowered to support the truck. Additional sheave blocks are provided for hoisting and pulling operations. All four functions of the crane - lifting or lowering the shipper, extending or retracting the boom, winding or unwinding the hoist drum and swinging the boom to the left or right - can be realistically simulated.

Lindberg Decoy Ship - (Q-Ship / Sea Raider / USS Atik / SS-Carolyn), 1/390, 755-49

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good

Sold   

Very rare. Very desirable kit with Ray Gaedke artwork. This is the Lindberg Q Ship, which has an unknown prototype but is suppose to be a WWI style Q-Ship submarine trap. The ship appears to be a WWI British Q Ship by the title, yet looks a little modern and has US numbers of 171 (which apparently mean nothing). The Lindberg model actually has the layout of the AK-101 USS ATIK, which was formerly the SS-CAROLYN, built in 1912. The CAROLYN was recommissioned as the USS ATIK and at the start of WWI which was a real US Q-ship. The kit has never been started. NOTE: missing 5 of 16 vents and one box. The vents are standard vents and could be borrowed from other kit, or resin cast from the remaining vents. The box is simply a rectangle used to cover the deck gun. The other box is present if you wish to copy it in resin. Otherwise inventoried with all other parts, decals and instructions.
