Fantastic Plastic Horton XVIIIB-2 Project Amerika Bomber - Ho-XVII B-2, 1/144
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: NM
Sold
'Projekt Amerika' was Nazi Germany's program to develop an intercontinental bomber capable of striking the American East Coast with either conventional or atomic weapons. Numerous cutting-edge aircraft companies and designers were enlisted for this ambitious program and among them were Walter and Reimar Horten, better know as The Horten Brothers. Walter and Reimar were flying wing advocates who had already given the Luftwaffe the Horten Ho.229 twin-engine jet fighter. The Hortens contributed several long-range bomber designs to the 'Projeckt Amerika' program and all were jet-powered flying wings. The last of these was the XBIIIB-2. Purportedly developed in part with Messerschmitt and Junkers engineers, the bomber resembled the Lippisch DM-1 in that it featured a huge tail with the cockpit contained within it. The plane would have been powered by six BMW 003 turbojets contained within nacelles below the wings. Defensive machine guns were also placed within its nose and rear fuselage. Development of the XVIIB-2 never got past the initial design stage, as "Project Amerika" vanished along with Germany's dreams of world conquest in the Allied victory of May 1945. Rare and out of production. This detailed, high-definition resin model if the most modern kit made of this fantastic bomber concept. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions.

Cleveland Seversky P-35 Pursuit Aircraft, 1/16, SF-61
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Sold
Dated 1937. This is a Cleveland 'SF' or 'Scale Flying' model in museum scale of 1/16. This is the earlier simple cardboard box with the silver printing. 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. NOTE: there is light bug damage to the the plans (still completely usable) but heavy bug damage to the covering tissue. 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 running single-owner (77 years) model airplane business- 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 'Aviation's 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.
