Amodel La-250 Anaconda, 1/72, 7264

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG

Sold   

From all new molds and features all fine recessed panel lines, good duel cockpit, intakes with compressor fans, air-to-air missiles and more. Never started and the parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. Planned in response to a January 1954 requirement for a super-interceptor able to cruise long distances at high altitudes with missiles able to provide a ‘snap-down’ attack capability against targets at lower altitudes, the La-250 was known unofficially as the Anaconda, both for it's looks and flight handling characteristics. Featuring a 57 degree delta wing, slab delta tailplane, and a fuselage of near-constant cross section, the La-250 was powered by two Lyulka AL-7F turbojets each rated at 6500kg which were later to be fitted with afterburners boosting thrust to 9000kg. All control surfaces were fully powered with duplex systems and without manual reversion. Intended armament was a pair of K-15 missiles that rode the beam of the Uragan (Hurricane) radar, which had a range of 30km. The missiles were canceled and the radar never made it into an aircraft before the development was cut short. Although the La-250 was intended as a single-seater in operational form, prototypes were completed as two-seaters to provide accommodation for a test observer, and the first of three flying examples was completed in July 1956. The first flight was attempted on 16 July, but the test pilot, A G Kochetkov, encountered an unexpectedly rapid roll moment and lost control. Extensive testing of a systems rig followed before acceptable characteristics were attained and flight testing could be resumed. Investigation revealed a severe roll-coupling problem derived from the combination of a long heavy fuselage and small wings. Enormous effort went into the creation of a new electronic flight-control system, and a successful first flight was recorded in spring 1957. The third La-250 had its nose lowered by six degrees to give better visibility on landing, the poor view forward having been determined as a factor in the second crash. The second aircraft was lost in a landing accident on 28 November 1957, and the third aircraft also suffered a landing accident on 8 September 1958.The flight test program suffered continual delays as a result of poor engine reliability and the full testing had not been completed when the program was canceled just before Semyon Lavochkin’s death in 1960. The program was dropped in favor of the Tu-28 Fiddler. (The aircraft history is from all-aero-com)

Aoshima USS Wasp CV-7 Aircraft Carrier And Japanese Submarine I-19, 1/700, 010303

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Exc+

Sold   

Excellent waterline model from newer molds. Includes aircraft and extensive decals as well as a 1/700 scale I-19 which can be assembled full hull or waterline. Never started and the parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. The I-19 is famous for firing history's most successful torpedo spread off Guadalcanal. On September 14, 1942, the I-19 was patrolling of the Solomons when the crew made visual contact with the American forces. After working into position, she fired a 6 torpedo spread. Three hit and sank the US Carrier CV-7 Wasp and the remaining three exploded against the BB North Carolina and the destroyer O'Brien. The destroyer sank and the North Carolina had to be repaired at Pearl till November 16, 1942. The I-19's Glen seaplane also flew night reconnaissance on February 23, 1942 over Pearl Harbor for the planned second attack by Emily flying boats on that base. She was depth-charged and sunk by DD-446 Radford on 11/25/1943 off Makin Island. It is surprising how large the I-19 is in 1/700 scale. She was 357 feet long, a very big submarine at the time.

All parts are still in the factory sealed bag. Includes instructions. These kits have a fascinating history. Hobbies were nothing new to America in the 1930s/40s, but they were not mainstream and never made the top 10 list of boys activities. Spurred on by the nation-wide aviation craze in the 1920s, many became modelers and built flying or static wooden models of airplanes, ships, trains, automotive and other subjects. Basic kits existed, but many of these models were built from scratch, which demanded a high talent level developed from years of experience. That changed in the early 1950s when the Gowland & Gowland/Revell Highway Pioneers became the sales sensation of the year. Demand was so great that the factories could not keep up and almost overnight 'model building' was mainstream. The phenomenon of the 'Highway Pioneers' kits was a significant force in proving that model building as a hobby could have mass appeal, provided that the kits were easy enough to build and finish. These 1/32 scale vehicles fit the bill: they could be built in an hour after dinner and looked much like the real cars. The success of the Highway Pioneers lead to the production of other subjects in plastic and the effect was revolutionary. By the late 1950s, model building was the #1 past time of American boys...and many adult males too!
