Helicopters For Industry 1/48 Piasecki HUP Retriever US Navy - (H-25 Mule) plastic model kit

1/48 Helicopters For Industry Piasecki HUP Retriever US Navy - (H-25 Mule)

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good

Very rare. Before Aurora had helicopter kits, there was the worlds' first 'copter kit line from 'Helicopters for Industry.' Dates from the early 1950s. The HFI molds for the HUP did quadruple duty, being box with Navy, Marines, Army and Air Force decals/colors. This one is the Navy version, which is molded in a beautiful gloss dark blue and clear. Features cockpit with instrument panel, control sticks and seats and spinning rotors and the unique clear HFI stand, which is still wrapped in the protective tissue paper. Aurora did not issue this kit with the stand. The kit has never been started. All the small parts are still sealed in the factory 'krinkle' bag, and the large parts that were never sealed have been inventoried 100% complete. The decals are 'excellent' and flat and the clear parts are 'excellent' as well. Instructions are 'excellent+' with the typical light yellowing. The box sides are in color and show the four other colors and decals for the HUP. This kit must be shipped insured.
