Bergs Bergs Humming Bird Helicopter - Flyes / Glides / Circles

Metal Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good-

$59   

Rare flying toy, most likely from the late 1940s or the the early 1950s. The original price was $3.00, which made it very expensive for that time. Berg's Humming Bird was made in "Allied Western Germany" and distributed by Josef Seidel of 878 Broadway, NY 3, NY. This is a flying helicopter that is completely prefabricated and consists of a very lightweight metle body with rubber wheels, a large completely-assembled rotor assembly with metal rotor head and frames with the blades covered in silver doped tissue, a heavy launching rod with a metal threaded rod and coupler and wooden handle painted red. The Instructions are present and it is a simple matter of placing the rotor assembly into the body, then putting the launching device underneath where it engages the rotor head. Then a quick pull on the upper handle sets the rotors spinning and up she goes! The model is 100% complete with all parts and illustrated instructions. Judging from the condition, it has never been flown.

Resin Model Kit,   Box Condition: Sealed

Still factory sealed. Features one two-story wall that is well detailed and very realistically battle damaged. Please note, it is common for these older castings to crack in shipment, so please be prepared to repair them (personally, I feel the cracks make them look more realistic).

Randles Kellett Autogyro YG-1B - XR-2, 1/42, 103D

Vaccuform Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG

$62   

Very rare kit from the 1940s. This is a large (17 inch LOA) model of this 1930s craft. This unique ship had no ailerons, rudder or elevator. Directional control was through a pivoting rotor head. Rotor blades folded for storage. The KD-1 made the worlds first autogyro roof-top landing in May of 1935 at the US Post Office in Philadelphia. The plans say this is the XR-2 and YG-1B. The plans certainly look like the YG-1B Army Craft; the YG-1B was modified with a constant speed rotor and became the YG-1C; it was then redesignated XR-2. This craft is also known as a KD-1; the model will built any of the three. Features 2D (profile) carved fuselage, hardwood rotor blades, other precut parts and a sealed envelope of small parts. Includes excellent full size plans with many detail drawings, templates and construction notes. Never started. Complete with all parts, plans and unused glass bottle of glue (some of which is still a liquid). Randles was another name for Ranco and may have simply been the deluxe version of the Ranco kits as they shared the same address. Just a few of those kits include the B-29, Cessna Bobcat, Sikorsky Helicopter and Kellett Auto Giro. There is evidence that they made boat kits also.

Rare model from 1946 for the advanced Hawk collector. Hawk was one of the few manufacturers making wooden kits to a constant scale of 1/48.

Never started and complete.

Arii Vertol 107, 1/72, 1

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Fair

$29   

Rare Arii model from the 1960s. The box is complete and intact but has the obvious stains as shown. The kit inside is often attributed to Airfix and it may be; however, I am suspicious of this as it is a bit cruder in mold quality, so it may simply be a copy of the Airfix kit. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions.

Lincoln Douglas DC-7 - BOAC, 1/150, 105

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good-

$52   

Rare, very early issue with "ALL PLASTIC no cutting no sanding" on the box top. Nicely made small scale kit from the 1950s. Molded in gloss silver with a large clear display stand. Never started. Inventoried complete including decals/transfers and instructions. Lincoln was an injection molding firm located in Hong Kong. Model kits were not their primary business but an important sideline and they established an early presence. Major countries of distribution were Hong Kong, Great Britain, New Zealand and Australia. Through specialty hobby shops, they often found their way to the West Coast of the USA. As early as 1956 Lincoln reissued about 16 Hawk kits from the USA, often with 'Picture Gallery' artwork. Although not their primary business, they established quite a line of plastic before discontinuing production in the late 1960s/early 1970s. Many molds moved to Kader, also in Hong Kong, who reissued the line. Some molds eventually found their way to the USA either through ATP (who purchased the excess kit stock when Kader sold out) or IM.
