Vacuform Model Kit
$120
Very rare and one of only a few ways to build a Warwick in 1/72 - and all are long of production. This kit features well molded vac parts, clear canopies in mint condition (with only the smallest hint of yellowing) and numerous injection molded parts (gear struts, wheels, engines, etc). Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and present. NOTE: If combined with the optional parts in a single Contrail Warwick kit, this kit allows you to build a 2nd Warwick. NOTE: this is not a complete kit. It includes white vac plastic fuselage, all four wing and horizontal stabilizer halves, vac clear transparencies and the detail parts. Nothing else is included. Contrail did not issue instructions with the accessory pack. Designed for Air Ministry specification B.1/35 for a two-engined heavy bomber, the Warwick was to replace the Wellington and used the same sturdy geodetic 'basket weave' construction. However, the prototype orders were canceled in 1936 to concentrate on four-engine bombers. Vickers completed two of the prototypes anyway. RAF Coastal Command liked what it saw and eventually 712 Warwicks were produced and used for transports, air-sea rescue, meteorological recon and anti-submarine work. One saw use as a BOAC Transport and the aircraft was used by the Air Forces of Poland and South Africa.

This kit includes optional parts (down to the wheel pants) and decals to build any the many variants listed. The O3U-3/SU was developed from the O3U series and was a significant improvement over the first Corsair. Seventy-six were produced as -3s and served as observation/float planes for the battle fleet. Sixty-five of the -SU variants were produced and saw a variety of rolls with the Navy and Marines. This was Vought's last production biplane and it was loved by crews. They were taken out of fleet service in 1941 but served in various rolls before being scrapped during mid-WWII. Esoteric was known for making perhaps the finest vacuform kits. The white vac parts are so fine that they are better than some injection molded kits. 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 painting guides and decals and excellent instructions.

Please note that there may be very neat, adult research notes written on the instructions. These are professionally done and very helpful.

Between WWI and WWII may navies experimented with submarine float planes. After trying several foreign models, the US Navy decided to design it's own. The result was the Martin MS-1 / XS-1.
