Renwal The Visible Airplane Engine WASP 9 Cylinder Radial by Pratt & Whitney, 1/4, 809-14.95
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Fair
Sold
Very rare and from the late 1950s. Very large (1/4 scale) and highly detailed model is by far the finest working visible aircraft engine ever made. Includes the electric motor, gear and battery boxes and all motorizing hardware. Transparent housings permit viewing the correctly working pistons, valves, rocker arms, connecting rods, cam and gears in action with synchronized firing of the spark plugs using red electric light bulbs. Propeller also changes pitch. It is molded in the correct clear, red, black, blue metallic and gray plastic. Inside, the kit has not been started. All cardboard inserts and lids are present and display very well as shown. The small hardware parts are still in the factory sealed envelopes. The plastic parts were never sealed and have been inventoried complete, including the instructions (in near mint condition) and even the special booklet on 'The Aircraft Engine and How It Operates.' The outer box displays slightly better than the 'fair' grade; this is because it has seen significant wear and some clear tape as shown; it is also missing a section measuring 4.5" x 3.7" on the lower long side, and it had closed splits along the seams (corners and one side) and I correctly fixed those from the inside with card stock and book binding glue. It is amazing that this kit is complete - most of these models, even if still factory tape sealed, are missing parts due to poor packing procedures. This kit must be shipped insured.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good++

The 1891 Panhard was among the very first modern cars and with it's groundbreaking innovations was certainly the grandfather of the present day automobile. This is a rare kit of this historic automobile from when France clearly lead the automotive world in technology and quality.

Nicely molded kit features about 75 pieces, detailed suspension and drive line, large assembly guide with numbered parts layout, text & fully illustrated step-by-step instructions and automobile history (in French).
