1/99 PL-4 Comet Douglas Skyknight F3D
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+
Early 1950s issue in the one-piece 'flip-top' box. This is likely the first issue of this kit, given the less colorful box artwork. The kit is molded in glossy deep blue and clear plastic with Marine decals. Has correct deep blue teardrop stand and arm. The kit has never been started. Internal factory sealed bag or inventoried 100% complete including decals and instructions. Comet originally began model production in 1929 with a line of balsa flying models. In the mid-1950s Comet made a beautiful line of small and medium scale aircraft and missile models with colorful boxes. The early issues were in one-piece 'flip-top' boxes, and the later issues and releases were in standard two-piece 'hardboxes' with a lithograph slick glued to the top box. In 1963 Comet sold the plastic kit molds to Aurora, who reissued some but not all of the kits.
