Berkeley is a very famous manufacturer of flying model kits from the Golden Age of flying aviation, about 1932-1954. Founded in 1933 by William Effinger, the company was quite progressive in producing quality kits - it was likely the Berkeley 'Buccaneer' was the first gas powered model in kit form. In the later 1930s, Effinger acquired the services of a very talented Henry Struck. Struck went on to design numerous award-winning kits under the Berkeley name. Berkeley weathered the post WWII recession and emerged as a major kit producer in the late 1940 and 1950s. These were great years for Berkeley and they produced some incredible and large kits. The company went bankrupt in about 1960 however. Fox engines (Duke Fox) bought the company and released the kits alongside his own FOX models and engines. This arrangement did not last, and in the early 1960s the Berkeley name disappeared from hobby shop shelves.

Monogram Douglas DC-10 American Airlines - (ex Aurora - Molds Modified), 1/144, 5413
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG

1978 issue after Monogram bought Aurora's molds. Monogram only reissued the best and most commercially viable models.

First, Monogram made the fuselage smooth - no windows. Then they added very, very fine raised panel lines to all surfaces and added flap hinge covers (fairings) to the lower wings. Contains excellent, full American Airlines and window decals. This kit has not been started. The parts are still in the factory sealed bag. Includes decals and instructions.
