Strombecker Douglas DC-6 Flagship - American Airlines- 13.5 inch Wingspan Solid Wood Model, C-36 plastic model kit

C-36 Strombecker Douglas DC-6 Flagship - American Airlines- 13.5 inch Wingspan Solid Wood Model

Wood Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good-

NOTE: builder kit only, please read carefully for the condition. 1950s classic 13.5 inch wingspan model made of solid Western Pine - not balsa. Builds up to an impressive display model. Features fuselage, wings, elevators, rudder and nacelles all cut to final shape, steel nose weight, formed metal propellers, struts and rubber wheels. NOTE: this kit has very minor assembly. The nose weight and wooden block off have been neatly installed in the fuselage. There is no other assembly. Includes the excellent Strombecker instructions. Inventoried NOTE: missing decals, sandpaper, glue and filler envelopes, one main gear strut(easily made from wire), (1) main wheel, all four retainers for the props (these are common small nails or brads). I have included a full-size black and white photocopy of the original decals; using the two articles on this website, you can scan, color and print these on decal paper for this model. Before plastic kits were introduced, Strombecker was famous as the premier hardwood preshaped model manufacturer. In the 1940s and 1950s, Strombecker kits were flawlessly engineered but not inexpensive. All wooden parts are hardwood and are precarved to shape - usually only a quick sanding would finish them.
