Planet Models Focke-Wulf FW-191, 1/48, 038

This is the only model ever made of this subject; it is a well detailed kit from high definition resin that features fine recessed panel lines, complete cockpit, detailed dual-row radial engines, clear vacuform canopies in 'mint' condition with no yellowing and much more. Never started and the parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. The Focke-Wulf Fw-191 was a prototype German bomber from World War II. Two versions were intended to be produced, a twin-engine version using the Junkers Jumo 222 engine and a four-engine variant which utilized the smaller Daimler-Benz DB 605. The idea from the Fw-191 was born in July 1939, when the RLM issued a specification for a high-performance medium bomber, known as the “Bomber B” program. It was to have a maximum speed of 600 km/h (370 mph) and be able to carry a bomb load of 4,000 kg (8,820 lb) to any part of Britain from bases in France or Norway. Furthermore, the new bomber was to have a pressurized crew compartment, remotely-controlled armament and was to utilize two of the new 2,500 hp class of engines then being developed, known as the Jumo 222 or Daimler Benz DB 604. Arado, Dornier, Focke-Wulf and Junkers participated in Bomber B competition. The Arado Ar E340 was quickly eliminated and the Dornier Do 317 was put on a low-priority development contract. The Junkers Ju 288 and Focke Wulf Fw-191 were chosen for full development. Dipl. Ing E. Kösel, who also worked on the Fw-189 reconnaissance plane, is thought to have led the design team for the Focke-Wulf. Overall, the Fw 191 was a clean, all-metal aircraft that featured a shoulder-mounted wing. Two 24-cylinder Jumo 222 engines (which showed more promise on paper than the DB 604 engines) were mounted in nacelles on the wings. An interesting feature was the inclusion of the Multhopp-Klappe, an ingenious form of combined landing flap and dive brake, which was developed by Hans Multhopp. The aircrafts entire fuel supply was carried in five tanks located above the internal bomb bay and in two tanks in the wing between the engine nacelles and fuselage. The tail section was of twin fins and rudders design, with the tailplane having a small amount of dihedral. The tailwheel retracted forward into the fuselage and the main landing gear legs retracted to the rear and rotated 90° to lie flat in each engine nacelle, much like the main gear on the production versions of the Ju-88. A crew of four sat in the pressurized cockpit and a large Plexiglas dome was provided for the navigator; the radio operator could also use this dome to aim the remotely-controlled rear guns. The prototype aircraft flew and was well behaved, but unexpected problems with the engines immediately made the aircraft underpowered. Many work-arounds were tried, but this engine was the heart of the Bomber B specification. The project was eventually abandoned due to the technical difficulties with the engines, which never got near developing the required power.

Planet Models Aichi H9A1 Seaplane, 1/72, 039
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Exc+
Sold
Still factory sealed and very rare. The H9A was a twin-engined, parasol-wing flying boat, designated by Aichi as design AM-21. It was designed in response to an IJN requirement for an advanced seaplane trainer for future crews of the Kawanishi H8K "Emily" flying boat. Design work started in January 1940 and the first of three prototypes was flown in September 1940. The aircraft had a normal crew of five (pilot, co-pilot, observer, flight engineer and a radio-operator) but seating was provided for an additional trainees. 28 total aircraft were assembled. Although a trainer, it was pressed into service in home duties starting in May 1942. The H9A1 was used for anti-submarine patrols in home waters, transport duties, paratroop training and general liaison. It was not known to the Allies until spring 1945, and subsequently never assigned an reporting code name.

Sold
Still factory sealed. This is the 2005 reissue of the famous 'S' kit from the 1950s. Very nicely detailed kit for that time.

I believe that the Matson Line Hawaiian Pilot originally started life as the Navy USS Burleigh C-3 Transport. After the was she became the Oceanic lines SS Sonoma (#2). On July 14, 1953, Hawaiian Pilot collided with SS Jacob Luckenbach (another C-3 freighter, ex-Sea Robin), off San Francisco. Luckenbach sank in 30 minutes; the crew was safely transferred to Hawaiian Pilot and there was no loss of life.
