Huma Model Messerschmitt Me-309 V1/V2/V3 - Bagged, 1/72
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed
Sold
When the Me-209 was dismissed as the 109s successor, design work began on the 309. It was intended to be a high speed, long range heavy attack fighter with an ejection seat and pressurized cockpit. Four were built, but the RLM never assigned any priority to the project. By that time, jets showed more promise and work was stopped. The kit is well molded with all recessed panel line detail and has optional parts so you can build any of the first three prototypes. Never started and the parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
Sold
From the late 1960s/early 1970s. This is a very good model of the famous 'Aircraft Carriers Of The Sky' and contains parts and decals to build either airship.

Never started. Inventoried and NOTE: missing the two 'assist rudders' which are nothing but flat rectangles; easily made from stock plastic or card stock. Otherwise complete with all other parts and includes decals and instructions. The Macon and Akron carried their own complement of F9C Sparrowhawk fighter aircraft, which could take off from a large hook while the airship was in flight.

Airfix Boeing 314 Pan Am Clipper - Dixie or BOAC Berwick, 1/144, 1415-100
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++
Sold
1960s Craftmaster issue. Very well molded and detailed for that time and includes decals for both aircraft. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. In the 1930s Pan Am was a household word in the USA for their romantic foreign routes and the glamorous 'China Clippers' that crossed the Pacific Ocean, stopping at such ports as Wake Island. Pan Am's attention soon turned to the Atlantic. Since non-stop service would be needed, a new aircraft was designed. The Boeing 314 was chosen. This huge flying boat started flying the Atlantic mail in 1939 with a trip over 26 hours long. Before the war, the 314 fleet flew the Pacific, Atlantic and other routes. The airliner was a palace compared to the cramped jets and limited service of today. The flight deck compared to the bridge of a ship and housed 6 crew. It was connected to the passenger cabin by a spiral staircase. The luxurious cabins were divided into 5 standard compartments, each seating 10 passengers, a dining salon for 14, a special compartment for four and a deluxe bridal suite. 74 could be carried on day trips and 40 when sleeping quarters for all passengers was required. Chefs prepared gourmet meals while passengers lounged in deeply cushioned wicker chairs and enjoyed a grand view of the scenery from about 5,000 feet. The age of the Clippers ended shortly after WWII when land planes could operate at much higher speeds than the flying boats.

Sold
Highly detailed model from 1973. Although she was a French ship, the Saint Louis was actually one of five 60-gun ships built in Holland.
