C-45 Strombecker Boeing B-47 Strato-Jet (Stratojet) - 12.5 inch Wingspan Solid Wooden Aircraft Kit

Wood Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good-

NOTE: excellent builder only, please read carefully below. Classic large 12.5 inch wingspan kit. Made of solid, completely precarved Western Pine - not balsa. Builds up to an impressive display model. Kit includes fuselage, wings, elevators, engine pylons and engine nacelles all cut to shape. Large and very well detailed USAF decal sheet is very good to excellent condition. NOTE: this kit has been professionally started, which is to the great advantage of the builder. All parts have been sanded to final shape, including correct airfoils on wings, stabilizers and rudder and engine pylons - including very sharp trailing edges on the wings and horizontal and vertical stabilizers. All parts have had sanding sealer applied and have been repeated sanded with very fine paper until they are perfectly smooth. The JATO holes have carved out in the fuselage. The clear canopies are in 'mint' condition. The decal sheet is in as-new condition, which is amazing. The stand and stand arm are missing, but all other parts are present. Includes full instructions in excellent condition. 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 sanding would finish them.
