UPC 1/50 Martin MB-2 Bomber - (ex-ITC), 5065-100 plastic model kit

1/50 5065-100 UPC Martin MB-2 Bomber - (ex-ITC)

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG+

Purchased new in 1966 in Cleveland, Ohio. From ITC molds and a very nice kit for that time. The famous first bomber to sink a battleship under any circumstances. Billy Mitchell arranged to have the ex-WWI German Battleship Ostfriesland used as target practice for for 6 MB-2s, and the ship sank in 25 minutes. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. UPC stood for Universal Powermaster Corporation which was based out of New York City, NY. UPC did not cut their own molds, but bought kits already molded from other manufacturers and re-boxed the kits in the USA. Scott Eidson, the famous artist best known for his artwork with Revell, also did UPC box art in the 1960s. All UPC production ended in the 1970s.
