Strombecker 1/72 Lockheed VTO Vertical Take-Off XFV-1 Fighter, C50-89 plastic model kit

1/72 C50-89 Strombecker Lockheed VTO Vertical Take-Off XFV-1 Fighter

Wood Model Kit,   Box Condition: Reproduction

Strombecker was famous as the premier hardwood pre-carved model manufacturer before (and after) plastic kits were introduced. In the 1940s and 1950s, Strombecker kits were flawlessly engineered but not inexpensive. All wooden parts are hardwood and are precarved to shape - usually only a quick sanding would finish them. This kit is hardwood with many plastic injection molded parts, so it was produced in the transition from wood to plastic. The prop hubs, spinner, tip tanks and fuselage are wood, while the wings, props, scoop and tank fins are red plastic while the canopy is injection molded in clear. Full color decals are furnished as well as a "Join the Strombecker Model-Makers Club" brochure. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. NOTE: box is a reproduction box. The quality is so good that I initially thought it was original!
