C-33 Strombecker Northrop P-61 Black Widow
Wood and Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Fair++
Before plastic kits were introduced, Strombecker was famous as the premier manufacture of highly prefabricated hardwood models. All through the 1930s to the 1950s, Strombecker kits were flawlessly engineered but not inexpensive. When complete it makes an impressive desk top display model with an 11 inch wingspan. All wooden hardwood parts are completely precarved; usually only a quick sanding would finish them. The P-61 is one of the rarest of the WWII Strombeckers and features fuselage, wings, booms and tail feathers completely carved to the final shape, plastic propellers & detail parts, full landing gear, extensive color decals in amazing 'Excellent+' condition, glue and wood filler in sealed envelopes and sandpaper. Includes excellent large-format step-by-step instructions and numerous illustrations. Never started and complete. Even includes the mail order form for the official Strombecker badge.
