1/72 Merlin Models Hawker Hart Frog Penguin Replica
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Exc+
Still factory tape sealed. Have you ever wanted to build the world's first injection molded plastic kits? Well, now you can and for an affordable price. As you know, Frog in England produced the world's first plastic model kits starting back in 1938. Merlin Models receive permission for this very limited edition, exact replica of this historic Frog Penguin kit. Nicely molded model usually includes photocopies of the original Penguin instructions (I cannot confirm that since the kit is still factory sealed). In the late 1930s, before WWII, Frog created the world's first line of injection molded plastic model kits. Since Frog stood for 'Flies Right Off the Ground' and Frog had a famous line of flying models, the world's first all injection molded kits were called Frog Penguin for the bird that does not fly. The Penguin Hart was among the early pre-war releases by Frog.
