Strombecker Northrop P-61 Black Widow, C33 plastic model kit

C33 Strombecker Northrop P-61 Black Widow

Wood and Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Fair-

NOTE: builder kit only, please read carefully. Before plastic kits were introduced, Strombecker was famous as the premier hardwood preshaped model manufacturer. 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 P-61 is one of the rarest of the WWII Strombeckers. The model includes plastic detail parts, decals, glue and wood filler. The carving is done to the final shape - which makes for some impressive parts for a Black Widow. When complete it makes an impressive desk top display model with an 11 inch wingspan. Never started. NOTE: missing top turret, gun barrels, wire gear struts, nose wheel and pins for attaching the props. Otherwise inventoried with all other parts, excellent decals and instructions present.
