1/130 Blue Bird Fokker D-VII and SE-5A - Bagged
Plastic Model Kit
Very rare and probably from the 1970s. Still factory sealed and includes both scale models. "Blue Bird" is not listed in any of Burn's guide books and there has not been a sale in an on-line auction in the last 10 years. They were made in Japan. These are small-scale models with about 25 parts each and decals. There are instructions (text) and an exploded parts diagram on the back of the top card. Part of the text reads "Inserting the shaft into the hole of propeller or wheels, melt the end of them down with something like a burnt iron." Many thanks to collector and builder Harry Nakano in Japan who wrote that Blue Bird was an old plastic model company in Japan which issued four biplane models in about 1/130 scale. The four kits were bagged with colorful artwork headers and included the Fokker D-7, Albatros D-V, Sopwith Camel and S.E.-5A.
