The more radical 'Top Chopping' and major 'Stylizing Options A and B' display how to chop the top and use the included clear lowered 'bubble top,' a wild front end extension with Lincoln-style custom headlights, extended hood and 'pancake hood' insert, wild deck body extension with custom bullets, rear grill and tail lights and more. The kit is molded in white, clear, red-tint clear, two trees of chrome parts and rubber tires.

NOTE: the decals are peeling badly and in poor condition.

Carl Goldberg was a gifted designer of model aircraft, and his career spanned the evolution of flying models. His designs and number of titles won in competition at the Nationals is legendary. His first competition was the 1928 Nationals, where he received honorable mention. By 1934 he won the indoor Nats and in 1935 he opened a Hobby Shop, among the first in the nation (the first one was probably opened by Cleveland Models Ed Packard). Awards came quickly. He wrote articles for Model Airplane News, and was Comet's top designer from 1939 till 1945. After Comet, he worked with Mike Schlesinger and Sid Axelrod on what eventually became Top-Flite Models. In 1955 he founded Carl Goldberg Models and released a still-popular line of scale, rubber, gas, glider and RC models.

Includes a full color paint guide and extensive decals for the ship, flight deck and aircraft. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. This German WWII aircraft carrier has a fascinating history. She was laid down in 1936, and launched in 1938. Raeder pressed for proper fitting out and completion, but ran into continuous and powerful resistance from Goring, who did not like the idea of the Navy having a mobile air-arm. Goring's interference proved conclusive and the ship, which was 95% complete, never entered service. The air wing was to be navalized Bf-109 Fighters and Ju-87 Dive Bombers. Work stopped completely in 1943 as Hitler became frustrated with the Navy. On April 25, 1945, the Germans scuttled the nearly complete carrier at Stettin just before the Russians arrived. What happened next has been unclear for years. It was generally assumed that the ship struck a mine and sank after the Soviets raised her. With the opening of Russian records, this story can be completed. In 1946 the Soviets raised the ship and towed it to Leningrad. There, they hoped to rebuild it and use it for her intended purpose. This proved to be impossible at the time, so in 1947 it was towed to sea and used as an target. In 2006, the wreck was actually located.

Italeri TWO DUKW / TWO (Really Four) ISU-152 / TWO Kubelwagen / ICM ATZ-5320 Fuel Bowser, 1/72, 7022

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG to Good

Sold   

SALE!! Includes all 7 (actually 9) kits in the boxes shown. The Italeri ISU-152 kit includes one 'quick-build' and one normal kit. Since there are two sets in one box, there are 4 tank kits in this one box. NOTE: Sold AS-IS and not inventoried. This collector was very meticulous. Of the many thousands of his kits that I did inventory,, 95+% are complete. But on these kits he cut the sprue (trees) with the part numbers still attached to each number, so the parts are loose. Because of that, I have not inventoried these kits. NOTE: he built minor sub assemblies (gun barrels, chassis, etc.) to 'professional' quality. Again, these kits are sold not inventoried and AS IS hence the very low price.

Comet Cessna 140 Struct-O-Speed - 9.5 Inch Wingspan Flying Balsa Model, 2104-29

Wood Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good

Sold   

Comet was a famous manufacturer of stick and tissue flying and static models. They lead the low-priced kit revolution in the 1930s with their famous adds in Model Airplane News. Comet reached it's peak when they acquired the services of Carl Goldberg, who had made a name for himself with famous designs that won the Nationals during the 30s and articles in Model Airplane News. (Carl Goldberg went on to found his own company and produced well designed and popular free-flight and RC aircraft). Sales sagged after WWII as they did for all balsa kit manufacturers but Comet survived till bought out by long-time competitor Guillow's in 1998. When sales sagged again in the 1960s, Comet's response was the easier to build Struct-O-Speed series with a significant amount of prefabrication that dramatically reduced assembly time. Light and well designed, these kits flew well. This one features 3D fuselage with sheeted sides, one piece horizontal and vertical stabilizers, one piece wing, detailed full size plans with building instructions, fully formed wooden wheels and a balsa propeller. The model has not been started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts and instructions.
