1/72 NAF35 Esoteric Great Lakes BG-1 & XB2G-1 - Bagged
Vacuform Model Kit
Rare and still the only kit ever made of this subject. Includes parts and instructions so you can build either the BG-1 or the modified XB2G-1. During its short existence (1928-1936), the Great Lakes Aircraft Corporation had only one type in achieve series production, the BG-1. It was designed as a scout and dive bomber and was very well liked by those who flew it. The range was a bit shorter than desired with a 1000 lb bomb, so Great Lakes designed the XB2G-1, which was a greatly modified BG-1 that carried the bomb internally among other changes. However when it was ready for testing, other aircraft were already more suited to the dive bombing task. This is a very high quality kit with metal details, extruded plastic strut material, full decals and white vacuform moldings that rival or surpass injection molded parts in detail. Includes full interior. Features all parts required for construction, very good cockpit, metal details and extruded strut material. Never started. The small parts are still in the factory sealed bag; the white vac parts are uncut, untouched and 100% complete. Includes all decals and excellent instructions. Please note that this kit may have some very neat, professional quality, adult research notes on the instructions. These are very helpful for an accurate build or paint scheme.
