1/72 NAF-16 Esoteric Navy Northrop BT-1 - Bagged
Vacuform Model Kit
The BT-1 was the first Northrop aircraft for the US navy. John Northrop had just formed his aircraft company in 1929, and back then a government contract was the best way to stay in the business. The BT-1 was basically a scaled-down Army A-17. 54 were produced, and the aircraft resulted in the creation of the famous SBD Dauntless dive bomber by Douglas when they acquired Northrop. Esoteric kits were perhaps the finest vacuform kits made. The molding quality rivaled or surpassed most injection molded kits. Features all parts required for construction, very good cockpit, metal details and more. 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. There may be some adult research notes written on the instructions; these are of the highest quality and very useful.
