Even the original tissue packing paper is still present. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. Master Modelcraft Supply Company made wooden model aircraft and ships and listed their address as N.Y. 66, New York during the early 1950s. The amazing 'Sculp-Turned Senior' kits by Master Modelcraft had all of the hard work done because the fuselage was very accurately finished and ready to assembled. Other kits in this series included the B-17 (12.5" WS), P-38 (13"), North American Mustang P-51 (14"), Vought Sikorsky Corsair (14.75"), P-47 Thunderbolt (15.25"), Hellcat F6F (14.5"), DH Mosquito (14.5"), B-26 Marauder (15") and Boston Havoc A-20 (15.5"). The B-17 was $2 and all others were $3. For $4, you could buy any of these kits with fully carved engine nacelles. There was a Sculp-Turned Junior line, also known as "De-Luxe" on the box. These included the following $1.25 kits: Hellcat, P-47, F4U and P-51.
