Lindberg FJ-2 Fury Jet Fighter - First Logo Small Box Issue, 1/48, 516
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
Sold
Rare first issue from the mid 1950s that features Ray Gaedke artwork, the circular Lindberg logo and short, early two-piece box. Correctly molded in an amazing metallic dark blue with a red nose and clear canopy. Includes the correct early instructions. Please note, the instructions have the circle logo and the rectangular logo, which was not uncommon for early Lindberg kits. NOTE: this kit has minor and neat assembly of the pilot to the chair and the chair to the floor. But the wrong glue was used so they did not stick together. No other parts have glue on them. Inventoried with all plastic parts present and instructions. NOTE: Missing decals. Paul Lindberg created plans for stick and tissue flying models that were published in popular modeling magazines in the 1930s. During this time, he marketed wooden flying kits, asking builders to request that your local dealer carry "The Lindberg Line" of models. When plastic kits first appeared, Paul Lindberg and a Mr. Olsen founded O-Lin models, purchased the unsuccessful Varney molds for the Fleet Sub, PT Boat, LST and PT-17. After mold modification, they entered production and quickly cut new molds such as the P-80, Seabee and more. The association with Mr. Olsen did not last long, and Paul Lindberg took over or bought out the molds, thus starting the famous plastic "Lindberg Line". The first box art was simply carry over from O-Lin. Early O-Lin artwork was simple and two -color. However, Ray Gaedke did some late O-Lin boxes such as the Corsair, which was also used by Lindberg. Gaedke artwork was colorful and bold, and Paul Lindberg wasted no time in having Gaedke make the new artwork for the Lindberg Line.

Guillows Rumpler C5 - 24 inch Wingspan R/C / Gas Free Flight / Rubber Powered Flying Aeroplane - (CV), 206
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good++
Sold

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.
