Planet Models Focke-Wulf FW-191, 1/48, 038
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed NM
Sold
Rare and still factory sealed. This is the only model ever made of this subject; it is a well detailed kit from high definition resin that features complete cockpit and much more. The Focke-Wulf Fw-191 was a prototype German bomber in World War II. Two versions were intended to be produced, a twin-engine version using the Junkers Jumo 222 engine and a four-engine variant which was to have used the smaller Daimler-Benz DB 605 engine. In July 1939, the RLM issued a specification for a high-performance medium bomber, known as the “Bomber B” program. It was to have a maximum speed of 600 km/h (370 mph) and be able to carry a bomb load of 4,000 kg (8,820 lb) to any part of Britain from bases in France or Norway. Furthermore, the new bomber was to have a pressurized crew compartment, remotely-controlled armament and was to utilize two of the new 2,500 hp class of engines then being developed, known as the Jumo 222 or Daimler Benz DB 604. Arado, Dornier, Focke-Wulf and Junkers participated in designed of Bomber B. The Arado Ar E340 was eliminated. The Dornier Do 317 was put on a low-priority development contract. The Junkers Ju 288 and Focke Wulf Fw-191 were chosen for full development. Dipl. Ing E. Kösel, who also worked on the Fw-189 reconnaissance plane, was supposed to have led the design team for the Fw-191. Overall, the Fw 191 was a clean, all-metal aircraft that featured a shoulder-mounted wing. Two 24-cylinder Jumo 222 engines (which showed more promise on paper than the DB 604 engines) were mounted in nacelles on the wings. An interesting feature was the inclusion of the Multhopp-Klappe, an ingenious form of combined landing flap and dive brake, which was developed by Hans Multhopp. The entire fuel supply was carried in five tanks located above the internal bomb bay, and in two tanks in the wing between the engine nacelles and fuselage. The tail section was of a twin fins and rudders design, with the tailplane having a small amount of dihedral. The main landing gear legs retracted to the rear and rotated 90° to lie flat in each engine nacelle, much like the main gear on the production versions of the Ju-88 already did. Also, the tailwheel retracted forwards into the fuselage. A crew of four sat in the pressurized cockpit and a large Plexiglas dome was provided for the navigator; the radio operator could also use this dome to aim the remotely-controlled rear guns. The aircraft few and was well behaved, but expected problems with the powerful engines immediately made the aircraft underpowered. Many work-arounds were tried, but this engine was the heart of the Bomber B specification. The project was eventually abandoned due to the technical difficulties with the engines, which never got near developing the required power.

William H Low Co Rumsey Service Hose Reel 1850 - Wilo Line Fire Trucks, 1/24, CR110
Multimedia Model Kit, Box Condition: Poor
Sold
Very rare. Has a box art variation from the other issue of CR110. Likely from the 1940s. William H Low Co., of Braintree Mass., issued the 'Wilo Line' which featured a superb series of antique commercial firefighting equipment, all in 1/48 scale. Bill Low was the designer of all kits and he was a superb model maker. The scale is given as 1/2" and the finished model wagon is approximately 7 inches long without the horse hitch and ~ 12 inches long with it. The kits were very advanced for the time and shared many of the pre-fabrication methods of Hudson Miniatures. Wilo Line kits features "all parts in this kit cut to size and shape." Includes plastic injection molded spoke wheels, precut and machined large and small wooden parts, beautiful, metal stock, a sealed bag of smaller parts including a great many more fully carved wood parts, metal parts and full size plans with numerous drawings and detailed text instructions. There is even a big photo of the actual prototype. The kit has never been started. It is missing 3 or 4 small wooden parts that can be made; otherwise complete with all other parts, plans and instructions. The kits in this line include Amoskeag Steamer, Hose Reel, Hose Wagon, Chemical Engine and many others. In most cases they are the only kits in existence of these historic vehicles. Bill Low did design at least one 'non-fire truck' kit in his Will-O-Line - a Conestoga Wagon, advertised as being 1/24 scale, kit #B14 for $2.85 listed as "This is another Museum Piece by Bill Low." After seeing these fire truck kits, I do not doubt that.
