Aurora Fokker D-VIII Flying Razor (DVIII), 1/48, 135-69
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
Sold
First issue from 1959 with fantastic Jo Kotula artwork, FF logo and Parents' Magazine seal on the lower right. A nice kit of the dreaded 'Flying Razor' of WWI. The D-VIII had what it took to turn the tide in the air, but was introduced too late and in too few numbers to make a significant difference. Kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions.
Sterling Stinson SR-8 Reliant Gull Wing - 31 inch Wingspan for R/C, 1/16, E8
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good++
Sold
Big scale kit with a 31 3/8 inch wingspan. Designed for RC, CO2, free flight, control line or non-flying detailed scale kit. Sterling was a famous manufacturer dating back to the 1930/40s flying model craze. Although they continued to produce kits for decades after the flying model slump following World War II, they eventually fell victim to the general lack of interest in modeling that occurred in the early 1980s. I always considered Sterling kits to be deluxe kits as they featured color decals, high-grade die cut balsa, vacuform plastic detail parts, plastic wheels (if required), finished wire landing gear, rubber motor and plastic prop, full size plans with instruction details and full instructions for conversion to RC or control line. There has been no assembly. NOTE: one sheet of parts has been punched out, and the cowl and one wheel pant (both vac parts) rough cut out. All done very neatly. NOTE: missing one small rectangle part, #52. There is another #52 present so you can copy it with the extra wood included. Otherwise inventoried with all other parts, decals and instructions present.
UPC Coast Guard Patrol Boat, Unknown, 5003-100
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Exc++
Sold
Still factory sealed. Mold origins unknown - if you can shed some light on this, please email. UPC stood for Universal Powermaster Corporation which was based out of New York City, NY. UPC did not cut their own molds, but bought kits already molded from other manufacturers and re-boxed the kits in the USA. Scott Eidson, the famous artist best known for his artwork with Revell, also did UPC box art in the 1960s. All UPC production ended in the 1970s.
