AMT USS Akron or Macon - ZRS-4 or ZRS-5, 1/520, T572

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good++

Sold   

This is a very good model of the famous 'aircraft carriers of the sky' and contains parts and decals to build either airship. The Sparrowhawk aircraft hangar door is molded separately if you wish to super detail the hangar bay. Never started and inventoried complete with all 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. Recovery was accomplished the same way and the aircraft were stored in a hangar inside the ship.

Guillows Fokker DR-I Triplane - 20 Inch Wingspan for Free Flight or R/C Conversion - (DR1), 204

Wood Model Kit,   Box Condition: Exc

Sold   

Large-scale and well detailed model from the early 1970s. Can be flown rubber free flight, gas free flight or converted to electric R/C with modern servos and receivers. Features scale plastic wheels, plastic propeller, plastic nose cowl, plastic radial engine, full decals, covering tissue, die cut balsa parts, rubber motor, plywood firewall and more. With excellent full size plans. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes 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.

MPM Kawanishi N1K1 Shinden George, 1/72, 72123

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Sealed NM

Sold   

Still factory sealed. Kit features fine, all recessed panel line detail, many photoetched parts and decals for four aircraft. During construction of the NiK1 Kyofu (Strong Wind) float plane, the design team at Kawanishi did a study of converting that aircraft to a land-based fighter. The design seemed very promising, but the Japanese Navy rejected it. Kawanishi decided to privately fund the building of prototypes regardless. The aircraft flew and flew well, but the navy was unimpressed as they ordered the J2M Raiden into production. Kawanishi, undaunted, built four additional prototypes. The IJN was finally won over, and funds were released to produce the fighter. Production problems were solved in time for the Shiden (Violet Lightning) to see action before the end of the war, but not in significant numbers to change the tide. The Shiden was an excellent aircraft, but a modified version, NiK2-J may have been the finest Japanese Naval fighters of the war.

Rare original issue dated 1953. The Pre-S hardbox has like-new color and gloss, four solid corners, no tape or price tags (and no marks from either), no tears and no missing litho, fading or stains. There is very light wear. This is one of Revell's earlier ship kits, issued shortly after the release of the Missouri in the same year.

One piece (a gunner) has a small part broken off, but that part is whole and included. Thank you to Joe Couture for his important note about this kit: "The PT212 is a HIGGINS built boat, unlike the ELCO version made by most other manufacturers. The ELCO was effective and widely used in the Pacific, whereas the Higgins, somewhat smaller, could turn and accelerate more sharply, and was used in the Mediterranean against Italian shipping, all along the coast of the "Boot"."

The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions.

The same was done for the Piper Tri-Pacer.
