Wood and Metal Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG+

Solid wooden model from the 1930s. Includes all needed wooden parts, original corked glass tube of paint, special factory 'masking tape for striping model', beautifully completely turned cowl and wheels, window material, cast metal pilots, metal wire, other wood as needed and beautiful 1/48 scale plans. The kit has had assembly. The fuselage has been finish sanded with pilots and windows installed. The wings have been finish sanded. The quality of this work is craftsman grade. The fuselage is fantastic and is to plan. The wings are excellent and have the correct airfoil sanded in. No other assembly has been done. The model is complete. This model is rare in that it is from Gordon Christoph's Aircraft Model Company. This company was founded in the early 1930s. Jack Mair, a former Comet Model Airplane & Supply Co. salesman bought the company in the early 1940s and renamed it Maircraft. Mair continued with the same logo and 1/48 scale and went on to make one of the rarest and valuable 1/48 scale wooden kits ever - the Maircraft DC-3. The company went out of business just as production began on the DC-3, which was in 1947.
