Berkeley Douglas F4D-1 Skyray - Ducted Fan Flying Model Airplane Kit - (F4D1), 1/16, 4-15

Wood Model Kit,   Box Condition: Exc+++

Sold   

This kit is unique as it is the first model aircraft mass-marketed with an internal ducted fan. Henry Struck, the gifted designer, had been associated with Berkeley for years and for five of those years he had been experimenting with internal fans so that modern jet kits could be powered without an external propeller. This model is the first results of his efforts. Large high quality kit in the agreed museum scale of 1/16. Wingspan measures 25 inches and the fuselage is over 30 inches long when assembled. Originally designed for gas powered free flight or U Control, or can be converted to electric power and modern RC (radio control) gear. Features clear canopy, metal propulsion fan, shaped and notched leading and trailing edges, full size plans, die cut balsa and plywood parts, metal hardware and authentic decals. The model has not been started. The parts are either in factory sealed bag(s) or inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. Berkeley is a very famous manufacturer of flying model kits from the Golden Age of flying aviation, about 1932-1954. Most all Berkeley kits contain a high degree of prefabrication to speed up assembly. Founded in 1933 by William Effinger, the company was quite progressive in producing quality kits - it was likely the Berkeley 'Buccaneer' was the first gas powered model in kit form. In the later 1930s, Effinger acquired the services of a very talented Henry Struck. Struck went on to design numerous award-winning kits under the Berkeley name. Berkeley weathered the post WWII recession and emerged as a major kit producer in the late 1940 and 1950s. These were great years for Berkeley and they produced some incredible and large kits. The company went bankrupt in about 1960 however. Fox engines (Duke Fox) bought the company and released the kits alongside his own FOX models and engines. This arrangement did not last, and in the early 1960s the Berkeley name disappeared from hobby shop shelves.

Cox Cox Curtiss A-25 (SB2C Helldiver) Army Dive Bomber with Dropping Bomb - Gas Powered Control Line Airplane, 7100-1098

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Exc

Sold   

Rare pre zip-code (<1964) .049 gas powered control line aircraft with a 20 inch wingspan. And it drops bombs in flight! The Blue Navy Helldiver version can be found, but this is the rare olive drab Army version. Even more unusual, it is mint in the box, straight from old store stock. The outer box has brilliant color, all solid corners and no tape. It does have light wear, as these thin boxes usually do. Inside, the model is as new except the adjustment knob has come off the mixture control. Other than that, the aircraft is flawless, just as it left the factory. Since the aircraft has never been flown or started, it is clean as new. The internal packing material that holds the aircraft in place is as new and is not torn. The accessories - the dropping bomb, pilot, antenna and cables are still in the factory sealed bag. The U-control handle is still affixed to the box side as it was at the factory. The paperwork is complete and mint also, including the instructions, the 'Bob and jack start their Cox Thimble-Drome Plane...' cartoon, yellow fuel use warning sheet and 'Inspected by 114' paper. It would be difficult to find a better example.
