Berkeley is a very famous manufacturer of flying model kits from the Golden Age of flying aviation, about 1932-1954. 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.

Monogram B-52D Stratofortress, 1/72, PA215

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good

Sold   

First issue from 1968. NOTE: this is a builder kit only - not for collectors. The left fuselage is gray and not green - the green fuselage was damaged and I replace it with a fuselage from the 1970s issue (exact same part-different color plastic). All parts for the Jet Sound are missing - none of them are visible, so the kit can simply be built without it. Kit has been inventoried complete with all other parts. Decals are present but cracking. Instructions are a photocopy from a later issue.
