1/50 Heller Etendard IV with Automatic Landing Gear and Speed Brakes
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+++
Older issue from the late 1950s or early 1960s with high gloss box top artwork. Very unusual kit in a large scale. The model used a complex series of 6 cogs and gears with wire springs and twine to make functioning landing gear and speed brakes. When you lower the arresting (tail) hook, the landing gear doors open and the nose and main wheels extend. When you raise the arresting hook, the landing gear retracts and the doors close. Furthermore, when you pull out the parachute release at the tail, the speed brakes lower. When you close it, the speed brakes close. Never started. Factory sealed bag or inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions.
