Airmodel Westland Lysander Tandem Wing Conversion - Bagged, 1/72, 218
Vacuform Model Kit
Sold
Includes conversion parts to turn a base kit into the very unusual tandem wing. Includes white and clear parts as required. Does not include the base kit. Vacuform conversions are only recommended for highly experienced modelers and scratch-building skills are required. The Tandem Wing Lysander was one of a number of experiments to convert this airplane into a beach-strafer. The first prototype received a shorter rear fuselage with a wide-span tandem wing with twin fins and rudders. At the rear was a power-operated four gun Boulton Paul turret, but the prototype (K6127) only had a mock up. Flight trials in 1940 showed very good handling.

Cleveland Boeing F4B3 / F4B4 / P-12B - Balsa Flying Model Airplane Kit, 1/16, M-29
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Sold
This kit is odd as the outside kit number is M-29; inside, it is SF-29, the more familiar designation. After a closer look, this is a Cleveland 'SF' or 'Scale Flying' model in museum scale of 1/16. The kit came from a long time collector of 1930s and 1940s models and is in exceptional condition. All Cleveland kits were exceptionally complete and this one is no exception. Features very high quality balsa printwood and strip wood, covering material, highest quality plans, all parts required for assembly and decals (if issued with the kit). The model has not been started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts and instructions. The Cleveland Model and Supply Company played a pivotal role in the development of true scale models. In 1909 Bleriot's English Channel flight caused a surge in aviation and model aircraft around the globe. Several companies were ideally positioned to take advantage of the aviation craze. In the USA, Wading River Manufacturing Co. (1909), White Aeroplane (1911), Ideal Model Aeroplane (1911), Broadfield Model Aeroplanes (1919) were among these pioneers, offering everything from plans and parts to complete kits and ARF models. Lindbergh's 1927 crossing of the Atlantic Ocean caused an even bigger world-wide phenomenon called 'The Aviation Craze' that extended up to the start of World War II. Many companies such as Megow, Guillow's and others started right around the time of Lindbergh's flight. Some of these models flew and flew well, but they all had one thing in common - were generally not accurate scale representations. In 1929, a youngster named Ed Packard had a very advanced dream to produce incredibly accurate, true scale models that flew perfectly. This radical idea established the world's longest operating single-owner model airplane supply business, called Cleveland Model and Supply Company. To this day, Cleveland models are treasured as the most accurate flying scale models produced. The fact that Mr. Packard started and successfully grew this business during The Great Depression is a testament to his ideals and business skill. I highly suggest the excellent book called 'Aviations great Recruiter, Cleveland's Ed Packard' by H.L. (Herm) Schreiner. It is an excellent history of the man, his company and the times of the Golden Age of Model Aviation.
