Ranco Models 1/42 Kellett YG-1B (XR-2) Autogyro plastic model kit

1/42 Ranco Models Kellett YG-1B (XR-2) Autogyro

Wood Model Kit,   Box Condition: NM+++

Large (17 inch LOA) model of this 1930s craft. The ship had no ailerons, rudder or elevator. Directional control was through a pivoting rotor head. Rotor blades folded for storage. The KD-1 made the worlds first autogyro roof-top landing in May of 1935 at the US Post Office in Philadelphia. The plans say this is the XR-2 and YG-1B. The plans certainly look like the YG-1B Army Craft; the YG-1B was modified with a constant speed rotor and became the YG-1C; it was then redesignated XR-2. This craft is also known as a KD-1; the model will built any of the three. Never started. Complete with all parts, plans and unused tube of glue.
