CC-100 Comet P-40 Tiger Shark - 13 Inch Wingspan Plastic Flying Airplane Model
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+
Rare flying model from the late 1960s/early 1970s. It is still in the original Comet cardboard mailing box. These models were once fairly common, but almost none of them survived due to their fragile nature. This is a fully decorated 3D (not profile) model with the main airframe parts made from flexible, durable and very thin vacuformed plastic. Also features two wing spars (also from plastic), a plastic vacuformed cowling, plastic wheels, plastic propeller with spinner and separate thrust button, very light and thin fully formed wire landing gear, wood rubber motor retainer and light metal rubber hook/propeller shaft. There is a large sheet of fully illustrated step-by-step instructions and also a Comet Catalog/Flyer with an order form. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes instructions. This model reminds me of Comet's 'Ready To Fly' line except those were assembled and usually had a cardboard wing instead of plastic. While the other 'Ready To Fly' line never performed well because they were far too heavy, this vacuformed all plastic model is super-light weight as you would imagine.
