Triumph P-80 Shooting Star With Ash Tray - Factory Display Model
Metal Model Kit, Box Condition: No Box
Very rare and even more so in complete condition. This early P-80 solid aluminum model was produced in the late 1940s by Triumph manufacturing, whose address was given as 'Glendale 2, California.' This model was issued several ways, and this is the deluxe version that was factory polished, decaled and equipped with a polished aluminim stand and a "Daka-Ware' ashtray with slots for holding two matchbooks. Other versions included non-polished, raw castings and different stands. The aircraft is in remarkable condition. The aluminum is still bright and has a good reflection. The canopy is excellent and the decals are 'very good' but do show some typical age wear. The ash tray is in remarkable 'near mint' condition with excellent gloss, no cracks and no chips. It appears to have never been used. The only flaws are very light wear. The model and stand are 100% complete and completely original; however there is no box.
