MPM Mitsubishi A7M2 Reppu Sam - Upgraded Issue, 1/72, 72133
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed NM
$22
Still factory sealed and includes upgraded details. Designed as a replacement for the A6M Reisen, the first A7M1 was completed in 1944. The fighter was well armed and had self sealing tank, hydraulically folding wings and a bullet proof windshield. The Navy, however, did not use the recommended engine, so the aircraft was under powered. The revised version with the MK9A was a complete success, but earthquakes, bombing raids and a prototype crash delayed the project till the end of the war.

In the 1930s and 1940s, most modelers built the flying stick and tissue type models with rubber, co2 or gas power. But there were a small but measurable percent that built solid aircraft display models of great detail. This required great skill worthy of the shipbuilders of old, especially considering the limited offerings. Many manufacturers, such as Comet issued blocks of wood and a plan - the famous (or infamous) 'Make Wood Look Like Plane' kits.

The F4B-4 is inventoried 100% complete; the box is 'good-' and stained. The Hawk P-6E box is inventoried 100% complete and the box is 'good.' The Goshawk is inventoried and NOTE: missing the wheels; otherwise complete with all other parts. All three features 3D or 2D cut fuselage, 2D cut wings, printwood, small parts and full-size multi-view plans & instructions with templates. Maircraft was originally founded in the early or mid 1930s by Gordon Christoph and went by the name Aircraft Model Company. The company produced a typical line of solid 'profile cut' kits that required the usual high talent levels for carving and finishing. A former Comet Model Airplane & Supply Co. salesman, Jack Mair, bought the company in the early 1940s and renamed it Maircraft. This company was one of the handful of solid kit producers who issued models in a consistent 1/48 scale during the 1930s and 1940s (others included Hawk and Dyna-Model). This lead to one of the most desirable and rare model kits ever produced in the USA - the wood/plastic 1/48 United DC-3 model issued immediately after World War 2. Other than the P-61 and a few other Maircraft offerings, most were simple kits that sold for the low price of about 35 cents and gave the owners many hours of pleasurable work.

Hasegawa Mitsubishi A6M1 12-SHI Experimental Zero Fighter - Zero First Prototype, 1/48, 09840
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed NM
$52
Still factory sealed. Rare, special issue and a very highly detailed kit. Superbly molded with all very fine recessed panel lines. Features very highly detailed cockpit and landing gear wells and more. From Bill Koppos on modelingmadness.com: Planning an aggressive war of expansion across far-flung regions, the Japanese Navy was looking for an air-superiority fighter with extreme long range capabilities. The specification 12-shi included range and armament requirements that scared off all bidders except one-Mitsubishi, with talented head designer Jiro Horikoshi leading the team. The new airframe was built with lightness paramount, as with the available engines the specs could only be met if every spare ounce was pared off. Extra-Super-Duralumium, an ultra light new alloy, was employed in the main spars. Pilot armor was not considered. To keep fuel capacity at a maximum, no fuel tank protection was used, and a expendable underbelly fuel tank planned from the start. Watching European developments, the J.N. required 20 Millimeter Cannon main armament. One was planned for each wing, along with the usual 2 7.7 machine guns. Wanting to use a company engine, the Mitsubishi Zuisei ('Holy Star') 13 power plant of 870 hp was installed in the machine. As there was no airfield adjacent to the factory, the aircraft had to be disassembled and transported (allegedly by oxcart) 25 miles to Kagamigahara airfield in Nagoya. Mitsubishi's legend first took to the air on 1 April 1939. Except for top speed, the fledgling fighter performed well, exceeding the 12-shi requirements. One problem was a dangerous vibration, another poor lateral stability. A second slightly modified prototype was added to the test program, this crashed without explanation, but testing went on. The vibration problem went away when a three bladed propeller replaced the original two blade unit, the stability fixed by lengthening the fuselage and redesign of the rudder and stabilizers slightly. The more powerful, but Nakajima designed Sakae 12 engine solved the speed problem. Thus appeared the familiar Zero-Sen, conqueror of the Pacific.
