Guillows Nieuport 28 - 18 inch Wingspan Rubber Powered Balsa Wood Kit, WW-2

Wood Model Kit,   Box Condition: Exc+

Sold   

One of a very popular line of World War 1 flying aircraft stick and tissue kits with 18 inch wingspan. Kit features scale plastic wheels, plastic propeller, light vacuform nose cowl, die cut balsa parts, colored tissue, rubber motor and full decals. Includes full size detailed plans. 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. Guillow's founder, Paul K. Guillow, was a WWI naval aviator. In 1926 he began producing wooden model airplane kits. His 'Shelf Models' were some of the earlier non-flying models in production. Guillow's grew during the model boom of the 1930s, and when the Depression hit the hardest, Guillow's responded with lower prices and became one of the low price leaders, frequently advertising in Model Airplane News and other leading publications. During the war, like most manufacturers, Guillow's was forced to alternative materials such as cardboard and pine. Guillow's survived the post WWII slump by creating many inexpensive profile flying rubber powered aircraft and gliders in the 1950s (along with North Pacific) which became famous - some are still available today. The stick and tissue lines have been updated with laser cut parts and are still in production as of 2009.

Pyro Chesapeake Bay Skipjack Oyster Boat 'Carrie Price', 1/60, 269-98

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG+

Sold   

Pyro is long out of the plastic model business but is famous today for the esoteric collection of kits they produced. The seemed to care little about popularity but designed kits based on historical significance or local interest. The quality of the kits is generally high. The skipjack 'Carrie Price' is an exact replica of a typical small sailing vessel used along the Chesapeake Bay area to dredge for oysters. The center keel stabilizer could be pulled up for working in very shallow water. Until 1942 sail was the only power permitted for oyster dredging; after 1942 the state passed a law allowing power boats to be used. This lead to almost all the skipjacks being converted to power and having the main mast cut down. Although it's days are past, many yachtsmen restore and sail this beautiful small craft today. This kit has excellent detail and is well molded. The model has never been started. Factory sealed parts bag and instructions.

Metal Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG

Sold   

This kit is from the late 1940s or very early 1950s. Manuta was legendary for it's quality and attention to detail. After doing a piece-by-piece inventory on this kit, I can understand why.

The kit is complete with all parts needed and the motor. The valve gear is a work of art in itself with plated nickel steel and tiny rivets. Includes complete instructions, guarantee card and a list of Mantua approved service stations. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts.

KMK AP-35 Mabuchi Geared Motor and Battery Case for Free-Flight TK-1 or other Airplanes, AP-35

Metal Model Kit,   Box Condition: Exc+

Sold   

It is said that the Mattel Superstar (late 1971) was the first mass produced electric powered free-flight rechargeable airplane. This primitive geared electric drive certainly predates the Superstar but does not use rechargable batteries. The intended aircraft - TK-1 - is likely pictured on the cover. Has a clever method of controling how long the motor stays on - similary to the Ideal wooden flying kits 'gear extension' method of the 30's and 40s. Contains fuse material that is lit when the aircraft is lauched. The fuse burns and releases a rubber band that disconnects the battery power. I assume this kit is from the 1960s but it is not dated. Made from very light-weight plastic and metal. Never used and mint in the box. Two sheets of instructions - Japanese and English.
