Anigrand McDonnell YC-15, 1/72, AA2126

Resin Model Kit,   Box Condition: Exc

$145   

Well detailed high-definition cast resin model with recessed surface detail. The kit has never been started. The parts that were factory sealed are still in the sealed bags. The large parts that were never factory sealed have been inventoried complete including decals and instructions. In 1972, the U.S. Air Force issued the Advanced STOL transport program for a new medium airlifter that capable of operations into battle zones with short, temporary airfields. Two proposals were accepted for construction as the Boeing YC-14 and McDonnell Douglas YC-15 prototypes. McDonnell Douglas's design incorporated a supercritical wing, the result of NASA research. The design team also chose to use externally double-slotted flaps to direct part of the jet exhaust downwards, while the rest of the exhaust passed through the flap and then followed the downward curve due to the Coanda effect. Two YC-15s were built, the first flight was on 26 August 1975. The second prototype followed in December. The Air Force decided it needed a larger transport that would fly to standard, conventional airfields rather than into battle zones. In 1979, the Air Force formally cancelled the AMST program for both the YC-14 and the YC-15. As a result, the C-X program, the C-17 evolved.

Anigrand Bartini-Beriev VVA-14M1P, 1/144, AA4044

Resin Model Kit,   Box Condition: Exc

$64   

Sells for $88 new. This is a highly detailed resin model. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. In late 1950s, the U.S. Navy started the Polaris program which ultimately armed US submarines with ballistic missiles. The USSR quickly issued a requirement for an Anti-Submarine-Warfare system to counter this urgent threat. The Minister of Defense selected Bartini's floatplane design and ordered Beriev OKB to build three prototypes. It was to be developed in three phases. The VVA-14M1 was to be a technology test-bed with inflatable pontoons. The VVA-14M2 was to be more advanced with fly-by-wire flight controls. The third stage would be the VTOL vehicle fully equipped with weapons. In 1972 the first prototype made its first flight. In 1974, the inflatable pontoons were installed but the expansion and retraction caused many problems. They were later replaced by rigid pontoons and the fuselage was lengthened and a pair of 'starting' engines were added. The program continued in 1974 but the engine vibrations caused breakage of the landing gears and rear control flaps. Beriev was given higher-priority work with the A-40 and IL-78, so the program was terminated. Only the one prototype was produced.

Aurora Douglas M-2 Mailplane - Western Air Express CAM Route, 1/48, 111-98

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG+

$69   

First issue dated 1957 with classic Jo Kotula artwork. Molded in deep gloss burgundy and black plastic. Never started and inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present. This aircraft has a fascinating history. From the internet: The United States Post Office had been running the air mail service since 1918 mainly using variants of the de Havilland DH.4 biplane. In 1925, it decided to modernize and placed an order with Douglas for a replacement aircraft based on the Douglas O-2 observation biplane. The company modified an O-2 by covering over the forward cockpit to make a mail compartment and moving the pilot into what had been the observer's cockpit. The aircraft was designated the DAM-1 (Douglas Air-Mail-One) but this was soon shortened to M-1. The M-1 used the same Liberty engine as the DH.4, which was available in large numbers. Small modifications were made to the exhaust system to keep fumes away from the pilot and the design was considered a success, but was not ordered into production. When the Contract Air Mail (CAM) routes were introduced, the newly formed Western Air Express Company (later Western Airlines) ordered six mailplanes with the designation M-2. The main change from the M-1 was that the tunnel radiator was replaced with a frontal type. It also had the provision to carry a passenger instead of mail in the front cockpit. Just before Western Air Express introduced the aircraft into service (in April 1926 from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City), the Post Office ordered 50 aircraft designated M-3 for its major route network. The M-3 had only detailed differences from the M-2.

OldModelKits SS Rex Ocean Liner - With Real Wood Deck - Italian Line / Mid To Late 1930s, 1/350

Resin Model Kit,   Box Condition: Exc+

$669   

Finally, the Pride of the Italian Line in 1/350 scale! The SS Rex is from the same team that brought you the 1/350 SS Normandie Ocean Liner. This four year project is a 100% new model and represents the Rex in her glory years of the mid 1930s. All design work was done in CAD by Ken Friend, a master modeler, designer and builder of experimental engines and test equipment and an engineer who specialized in CAD/CAM/CAE Systems Management and Implementation. All of the smaller parts are printed on ultra-high resolution 3D SLA resin printers. These parts meet and often exceed what is possible with injection molded plastic. Only the larger parts (hull, deck pieces and funnels)are cast resin. These are pressure-cast from de-aired molds to minimize air bubbles. The Italian Line advertised that "The Southern Route Is the Lido Deck Route." By virtue of avoiding the stormy and cold North Atlantic, travelers experienced a true outdoor lifestyle. The Rex was intentionally designed for this. For this model, extensive research and time was spent capturing the exact look of the colorful 1st and 2nd Class Aft Pool Areas- from the changing room & showers, grab rope on the pool, pool slide, stairs & diving boards, tables with umbrellas, recessed (covered) 1st Class Restaurant/Lounge and more. Because of the superior performance of 3D Printing, over 90% of the usual PE (photoetched) metal parts are now 3D printed resin. This is a vast improvement as they are no longer flat, but are true to the shape of the prototype. This also makes for a nearly complete model "out-of-the-box." Includes a real wood deck. NOTE: railings are the only parts not included with the model shown. However, 1/350 PE ship railings are very easy to locate from a large number of sources; I will refer the buyer to the ones that I like to use but you can always use your preference.

Cleveland Curtiss Hawk P-6E - 23.6 Inch Wingspan Flying Model Airplane Kit, 1/16, SF-21

Vaccuform Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG+

$165   

This is a late 1930s/early 1940s 'Deluxe Edition' of this Cleveland SF ('Scale Flying') model in museum scale of 1/16. This exact model is one of the finest examples that I have seen. It has a 'Very Good+' condition box, includes all of the original internal cardboard presentation material, glass bottles of liquids (glue and dope) and is never started and complete. All Cleveland kits were exceptionally complete and this one is no exception. Because it is the deluxe version, it comes with a set of four large glass bottles of factory fluids - paint/dope and glue - still factory sealed in brown paper and factory tape, very high quality balsa printwood and pre-cut strip wood, balsa blocks, other wood and metal stock as required, completely finished wheels, black fiber propeller blades, a small paper envelope with smaller parts inside, clear material for the canopy and covering material. Includes Cleveland's highest quality plans. Never started and it has been inventoried 100% complete with all parts and instructions. The Cleveland Model and Supply Company played a pivotal role in the development of true scale models. In 1909 Bleriot's English Channel flight caused a surge in aviation and model aircraft around the globe. Several companies were ideally positioned to take advantage of the aviation craze. In the USA, Wading River Manufacturing Co. (1909), White Aeroplane (1911), Ideal Model Aeroplane (1911), Broadfield Model Aeroplanes (1919) were among these pioneers, offering everything from plans and parts to complete kits and ARF models. Lindbergh's 1927 crossing of the Atlantic Ocean caused an even bigger world-wide phenomenon called 'The Aviation Craze' that extended up to the start of World War II. Many companies such as Megow, Guillow's and others started right around the time of Lindbergh's flight. Some of these models flew and flew well, but they all had one thing in common - were generally not accurate scale representations. In 1929, a youngster named Ed Packard had a very advanced dream to produce incredibly accurate, true scale models that flew perfectly. This radical idea established the world's longest operating single-owner model airplane supply business, called Cleveland Model and Supply Company. To this day, Cleveland models are treasured as the most accurate flying scale models produced. The fact that Mr. Packard started and successfully grew this business during The Great Depression is a testament to his ideals and business skill. I highly suggest the excellent book called 'Aviations great Recruiter, Cleveland's Ed Packard' by H.L. (Herm) Schreiner. It is an excellent history of the man, his company and the times of the Golden Age of Model Aviation.
