1/99 PL4-29 Comet Douglas Skyknight F3D
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Rare full color box issue from the very late 1950s or early 1960s. This and Comet's earlier kits were in rather plain boxes, but Comet quickly saw the need for something more eye-catching. The kit is molded in glossy blue and clear plastic with Marine decals. Includes classic teardrop stand. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. Comet originally began model production in 1929 with a line of balsa flying models. In the mid-1950s Comet made a beautiful line of small and medium scale aircraft and missile models. The early issues were in one-piece 'flip-top' boxes with only one color of ink. The second issues had as many as three colors of printing, and the last issue (this kit) had full color artwork. In 1963 Comet sold the plastic kit molds to Aurora, who reissued some but not all of the kits.
