1960s issue of this finely molded kit which includes a realistic standing figure of the famous Amy Johnson. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. Frog is considered the father of injection molded model kits. The Lines Brothers opened Frog in 1932, capitalizing on the fever caused by Lindberg's solo transatlantic flight. Almost overnight the western populations became 'Air-Minded', and anything aviation was in high demand. Frog created a quality line of stick and tissue rubber powered aircraft and gliders as well as innovative ready-to-fly rubber powered aircraft that required no assembly. The box even contained a built-in rubber motor winder and fuselage holder. Model airplane flight competitions were popular in Great Britain, and one category was 'Rise Off the Ground', or ROG. By changing this to 'Flies Right Off the Ground', the FROG name was born. In 1936 Frog created a line of injection molded plastic models, the first such kit line in the world (Hawk sold a line of injection molded aircraft models in 1934 but they were factory assembled and painted). Named 'Penguin' after the bird that does not fly, the kits were innovative beyond the means of production. At a time when models were simply built by wingspan, the Penguin line was a constant 1/72 scale. Furthermore, a large 1/72 Short S.30 Empire class flying boat contained a full interior and lights! A line of accessories such as AA guns, tractors, hanger, ambulance, sound locator, searchlights and lighting kits were quickly added to the line. WWII caused a pause in production. After the war the box color changed from silver to green, and Penguin kits were also marketed in the USA. Production ended in 1950. Frog quickly expanded and released the Red, Orange, Black, Green, Gold Token, Spin and Comet series as well as Trail Blazers and several others. It is noteworthy that while most manufacturers in the 1940s/50 were making toy-like models, Frog attempted to make very realistic models. For example, 'detailing' kits with excessively large rivets was once very popular. Frog ignored this trend and continued to mold aircraft with fine panel lines and no rivets. As a result, Frog kits can be built into very realistic replicas. Production ended in the late 1970s, but Frog molds are still in use around the world.

Still factory sealed and rare in this condition. 1960s 'Red' issue that is part of this famous line. Frog is the father of all injection molded plastic kits, which were called "FROG Penguin" because they did not fly. A significant variety were issued well before WWII and after the war, Frog picked up where they left off. The model is well molded with fine panel line detail and unrealistic surface detail. Features separately molded ailerons, elevators, rudder, crew of two, rotating propeller, torpedo loadout and more. Frog, like Airfix, would tape seal 1960s kits then put on a clear cello seal over that. Using magnification, you can see that this kit is still factory tape sealed under the clear seal.

Very rare and still the only way to build the single-engine "A" variant of the venerable Buckeye trainer. this set converts the Matchbox T-2 Dual Engine Buckeye to single engine version. Beautifully cast high-definition resin fuselage with metal interior details. Includes decals for three aircraft. The kit has never been started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. NOTE: the rudder is very neatly broken at the best place possible - on either side of the horizontal stabilizer slot. It fits back perfectly and would be easiest to install after the horizontal stab is assembled to the fuselage. This is a conversion kit only; requires an additional base kit and the Matchbox model is recommended.
