Huma Model DFS-346 Supersonic High Speed & Altitude Reconnaissance - Samolyot 346, 1/72, 4002
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Sold
Rare injection molded kit features fine, all recessed panel lines, cockpit module, prone pilot, landing skid, markings for Luftwaffe and USSR versions and full instructions with fascinating history notes. The kit has never been started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. The DFS-346 was to piggy-back launch from a Do-217 and then operate at up to 100,000 feet and supersonic speeds where enemy interception was impossible. The pilot's pressure cabin could, in an emergency, be blown free with four explosive bolts. After the separated front module reached a safe altitude where the pilot could survive without oxygen, the pilot was ejected and a parachute deployed. Power was two Walther HWK 109-509 rocket engines. The Western Allies searched for this aircraft after the war but failed to find it; later they learned that the Soviets had captured the prototype and had used German technicians under Russian supervision to build and test this aircraft (and modified new prototypes) right after the war as the "Samolyot 346."

The Aurora "Missile Line" is legendary. In the late 1950s, the first missile model kits sold briskly, so Aurora and Revell both planned extensive lines. However, the missile modeling craze disappeared as quickly as it started. Models that were in the works were canceled or completed if they were far enough along. Those that were completed were fine efforts but sold poorly and had very short lives, making them rare collector items today.
AV Models Mitsubishi Ki-57 -I Topsy - (Ki-57 I / Ki-21 Sally Transport Variant), 1/72, AV99
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Exc+
Sold
Very, very rare kit of the modified Sally that was allied code-named Topsy. Beautifully molded in high definition resin. The Ki-57 was the standard Japanese army transport plane, and saw extensive duty during the war. A great many were also used by the Japanese civil airlines, under the designation MC-20. The navy also employed a limited number of these aircraft, known as the L4M1. The design came about when Mitsubishi was asked to build a commercial aircraft along the lines of the Ki-21 bomber. The aim was to have this civil aircraft have performance similar to the Ki-21, providing service on the airline's major routes. When the design attracted the interest of army authorities they took over the project, drawing up specifications that could satisfy both civil and military requirements. The end product had the wings, tail, cockpit, engines, and other features of the bomber, but with a different fuselage that could accommodate 11 passengers. Between July, 1940 and January 1945, a total of 507 aircraft of this type were built. They saw service on all fronts as paratroop and personnel carriers and as liaison and logistical support aircraft.
AV Models Watanabe E9W1 Slim, 1/72, AV105
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed NM
Sold
Very rare and still factory sealed. The kit is beautifully molded in high definition resin. The Watanabe E9W was a submarine-borne reconnaissance seaplane, the first aircraft designed by Watanabe Ironworks. In January 1934, the Imperial Japanese Navy had a requirement for a two-seat reconnaissance seaplane to be operated from its J-3 class submarines, and placed an order with Watanabe for design and development of an aircraft to meet this requirement, the first of three prototypes flying in February 1935. The E9W was a two-seat single-engine twin-float unequal-span seaplane designed to be easily dismantled for hangar stowage on a submarine, capable of being reassembled in two minutes 30 seconds and disassembled in one minute 30 seconds. An order for 32 aircraft was placed. The aircraft entered service in 1938 with the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service as the Navy Type 96 Small Reconnaissance Seaplane with the last being delivered in 1940. Although it was in the process of being replaced by the Yokosuka E14Y monoplane, it was still in front line service at the time of the Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor, remaining in service until July 1942, being used to direct their parent submarines onto Chinese ships attempting to pass the Japanese blockade of the China Sea. The E9W1 was given the code name 'Slim' in 1942 by the Allies of World War II.
