1/48 5063-100 UPC Hawker Hunter Mk57 - RAF Or Kuwait - (ex Lindberg)
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++
From Lindberg molds and loaded with operating features including removable rear fuselage, removable, complete jet engine, moving rudder, elevator and ailerons, retracting landing gear, cockpit detail, ejecting pilot, loadout with drop tanks and rockets and decals for a colorful RAF aircraft or the Kuwait Air Force as shown on the boxart. The kit has never been started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. UPC stood for Universal Powermaster Corporation which was based out of New York City, NY. UPC did not cut their own molds, but bought kits already molded from other manufacturers and re-boxed the kits in the USA. Scott Eidson, the famous artist best known for his artwork with Revell, also did UPC box art in the 1960s. All UPC production ended in the 1970s. Interestingly enough, this kit says 'Molded in Japan' so these any many other Lindberg molds made their way to Japan at this time.
