Multimedia Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good+

Rare. Age unknown - likely 1940s. This is a very highly detailed period kit of a low, single-horse enclosed carriage invented by Joseph Hansom in 1834. It was used extensively in England and France and later came into use in the United States. The kit consists of black injection molded spoke wheels and clear carriage lamps, die cut flexible 'leather' plastic for the spring leaves, body sides, floor and roof from die-cut plastic sheet, wood parts all cut to shape, wire parts, leatherette upholstering material, shafts, full size plans and detailed instructions. The actual carriage itself (no horse equipment) measures about 4 inches long and the same in height when assembled. The kit has never been started. The small parts that were factory sealed are still factory sealed; the larger parts were never sealed and have been inventoried complete including plans and instructions. If it were not for Mod-Ac, we would not have many accurate models of early historic Western transportation. Mod-Ac was a manufacture of early hobby kits out of Los Angeles California. During World War II they issued a well known kit line of military vehicles. The company was innovative as this kit shows - the wide variety of materials, pre-carved wood and highly detailed plans and instructions put this model many notches above the 'make wood look like vehicle' type of kit.
