C-33 Strombecker Northrop P-61 Black Widow
Wood and Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
NOTE: builder only, please read carefully. When assembled this 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 completely carved to the final shape, plastic propellers & detail parts, extensive color decals, packets of glue & wood filler and more. Includes excellent large-format step-by-step instructions and numerous illustrations. Never started. Inventoried and NOTE: missing the following parts: machine gun and cannon barrels (originally made from wire), (2) propeller shafts (originally just simple straight pins), main and nose gear struts (originally made with bent wire) and the (2) vertical stabilizers and (1) horizontal stabilizer. Otherwise complete with all other parts and paperwork. 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.
