Rare 1948 flying model by the world-famous Cleveland Model Company. This kit is the first in a series which greatly reduced building time. Called the E-Z line, it is designed for rubber powered or small gas engine free-flight & features fully die-cut airframe pieces made from fine, light-weight balsa, all other parts as required and the superb Cleveland plans with instructions. Before this, die-cut parts were expensive to produce and therefore rare; all but the most expensive of the kits required you to hand-cut every part out of the sheetwood which was not only tedious and very time consuming but always resulted in broken parts. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions.

Cleveland Fokker D-7 - 20.5 Inch Wingspan Balsa Scale Flying Aircraft (DVII), 1/16, M-15

Wood Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good++

$80   

True-scale flying model from 1948 and one of the famous Cleveland kits in the agreed museum scale of 1/16. Features many sheets of high quality printwood, factory cut stringers and spars, partially carved nose block / radiator, other wood blocks as required, fully formed wheels, thrust button and propeller hub, metal and wood stock, complete insignia sheet and covering tissue. Includes the superb Cleveland plans & instructions. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and paperwork. 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.

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG

$34   

1/700 scale waterline model that is highly detailed and finely molded. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. The Nitta Maru was the lead ship of a class of three Japanese ocean liners that were built for the Nippon Yusen K line. The Japanese government subsidized the class as they were designed to be converted into small aircraft carriers in the event of war. She was launched in May of 1938. Originally she was to upgrade the NYK line service to Europe, but with the advent of war there and tensions in the Pacific, she was restricted to Pacific Ocean service. After conversion she saw extensive service ferrying aircraft, etc. She was sunk later in the war after two attacks by the submarine USS Sailfish. After the second attack, Chuyo sank quickly with a large loss of life.

There are one or two trading cards on each box which show the boxart but not the advertising/logo. Some kits contain a Testors color painting guide also, but it is not specific to any model.
