C-38 StromBecker American Airlines Convair Flagship - 10 Inch Wingspan Solid Wood Kit
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Fair-
Highly prefabricated kit made from Solid Western Pine - not balsa wood. Makes a very impressive display model when built. Includes precut and shaped fuselage, wings, elevators, rudder and nacelles, a bag of sealed detail parts including propellers, wheels, etc, sandpaper, detailed instructions and drawings with aircraft history and a large, colorful American Airlines decal sheet. Never started. The small parts are still factory sealed; the parts that were never sealed have been inventoried complete and includes decals and plans. NOTE: the box is graded 'fair-' which means it is not in collectible codntion. The kit, decals and instructions inside are all 'very good' to 'excellent' but the box has wear, tears, a taped up left short side and an open right short side (the flap is disconnected but included inside the kit). 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.
