147-125 Enterprise F4U-5 Corsair - Static Or .039 to .074 Gas Engine Flying Model - 17.5 Inch Wingspan
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Rare, highly prefabricated model from 1955 and even rarer in never started & complete condition. Enterprise pulled out all the stops on this design to make it easy to build and to give a realistic appearance - so good that you can make a static model from it to be proud of. However, it is designed for U-Control operation on the engines listed and has a wing area of 50 sq. inches, length of 14.75 inches and a wingspan of 17.5. The kit is almost completely sheeted - there are only two very short section of tissue paper needed. Features die-cut wooden parts, fuselage that is side sheeted and has factory-carved upper and lower front sections, a beautiful factory-carved wing with the correct airfoil and notched at the gull wing lines, die-cut horizontal and vertical stabilizer with elevators, hinge material, plywood landing gear mounts, fully formed wire gear struts, finished main and tail wheels, a bag of metal hardware, plastic cowling and pilot's bust, clear vacuform canopy that is still in mint condition and perfectly clear (not yellowed), covering tissue, a beautiful set of full color decals (still in amazing 'near mint' condition), covering tissue and superbly illustrated assembly instructions in 'excellent++' condition. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes all paperwork. Please NOTE that while there is no assembly, the die-cut balsa parts have been very neatly removed from the sheet by an adult.
