Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Exc++

Sold   

Very rare. Enterprise was a very successful maker of balsa wood free-flight and control line aircraft models dating well back into the 1930s.

This model is of the Tandem, based on an example from 1896 and is very nicely molded and detailed for the time. It includes a display base also. This model and a 'Old High Wheeler' were issued in 1954 but did not sell well; production was discontinued after a short run. The kit has never been started.
