Original Renwal issue from the late 1950s; not a common modern reissue.

This was an excellent kit for that time featuring three removable missiles, a detailed launch trailer that elevates and rotates the missiles, complete radar trailer with rotating and tilting radar housings.

LF Models Hawker Tornado - RAF Alternate Fighter, 1/72, 7213
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
$42
This limited edition model features main parts beautifully molded in high definition resin, very fine recessed panel lines, very good cockpit, printed instruments and more. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions.

So I believe that the fret and it's smaller details were eliminated by the manufacturer. You can always use a Typhoon for any other details as the only primary difference is the fuselage.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc+
$22
Limited issue injection molded kit that is well detailed with all recessed panel lines and numerous photoetched parts on two brass frets. Never started and the parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. On January 10, 1945, Hitler held a conference during which the staff discussed ways that the Luftwaffe could restore a degree of air superiority. During this discussion, Hitler suggested to Goering that the 50mm cannon be installed in a '262 so that it could open fire at longer ranges with more telling results. Two different cannon were examined; the Mauser Mk214A was chosen over the Rheinmetall Borsig BK5 and was installed in Me-262 W.Nr. 111899. The aircraft made the first flight in February of 1945. The pilot, Herget, flew the craft in practice against ground targets then actually flew to operational missions against a US bomber formation. On both occasions the gun jammed. A second aircraft was built, but it likely did not fly before the end of the war. American forces captured this second aircraft (named 'Wilma Jeanne' and then 'Happy Hunter II') but it crashed while being flown to France. The decals furnished in this kit are for that second prototype.

The Cellovision window is intact and in 'very good' condition and the trading card is also 'very good.' The scale is not given; I have approximated it as 1/32. The actual model is 5.125 inches long.
