Life-Like Combat Jeep And Trailer - With 3 GIs - (ex Revell), 1/40, 09652
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
$125
Rare model from the original 1950s Revell "S" Issue molds. Very well detailed featuring rotating wheels, radio, jerry cans, detailed chassis and suspension, tilting windshield, driver/soldier and general figure, detachable trailer with rotating wheels, generator, cable reel, packs, tool box and more. Molded in olive drab plastic and with metal axles. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. These molds must have had a very interesting history. The molds were cut in 1955 or 1956, either at Adams or by one of Revell's contractors. It appeared to be part of the Adams/Revell 1/40 line but Adams never issued the kit. UPC (Universal Power Master) had use of these molds in the 1960s are perhaps the early 1970s; however, the molds were probably in Japan as most if not all the UPC production occured there. Things get even more interesting with this Life-Like issue, which must have been after the UPC operation ceased operation. How Life-Like came across the molds is unfortunately unknown but it may have been in a bulk-purchase of molds that were located overseas. This is simply conjecture, however.

Lufthansa was a pioneer in trans-oceanic mail services and the Do-15 and Do-18 grew to fit this need. Given the German interests in South America, it was no surprise that they established one of the first airmail services between Europe and that continent. This kit will build one of those aircraft, the Lufthansa South Atlantic Mail Aircraft (1938) D-AANE 'Zyklon' or the military version. The Do-18 was an improved D0-15 'Wal' and set several records during its long useful life.

The Koolhoven F.K.51 was the winning design in a 1935 Dutch government contest for a new trainer. The prototype was designed by Frederick Koolhoven and first flew on 25 May 1935. This two-seat, fixed undercarriage aircraft was an equal-span biplane designed to use a variety of engines from 249 to 500 hp. The Royal Netherlands Air Force (LVA) ordered 25 aircraft in 1936 and 1937 that were powered by a 270 hp Armstrong Siddeley Cheetah V radial engine. Another 29 aircraft were ordered with 350 hp Armstrong Siddeley Cheetah IX engine. The Dutch Naval Aviation Service ordered 29 aircraft powered by a 449 hp Pratt & Whitney radial while between 1936 and 1938 the Royal Dutch East Indies Army bought 38 aircraft with 420 hp Wright Whirlwind. The Spanish Republican government ordered 28 F.K.51s, 11 with 400 hp Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar IVa radials and 17 aircraft powered by 449 hp Wright R-975E Whirlwind radials; these were refereed to as F.K.51bis. Production totaled at least 142 aircraft and twenty-four fuselages of the F.K.51 were assembled at Aviolanda. While the majority of F.K.51s were employed as elementary trainers within the Netherlands in the Royal Dutch Flight Schools or in reconnaissance roles by the Royal Netherlands Air Force in the Dutch East Indies, twenty-eight were clandestinely sold to the Republican government during the Spanish Civil War, despite a Dutch embargo on the sale of arms to either side of the conflict. Some of those arriving in Spain were used as light bombers by the Republicans in the Cantabrian region of Spain.[2]Some LVA F.K.51s were briefly used for reconnaissance duties following the German invasion of the Netherlands in May 1940. Several F.K.51s being destroyed on the ground by attacking Luftwaffe aircraft. The Dutch Naval Aviation Service's F.K.51s were used to carry neutrality patrols from January 1940; however most were damaged or destroyed during an attack on De Kooy Airfield on 10 May.When the Japanese invaded in March of 1942, the Royal Dutch East Indies Army had 27 F.K.51s available for service. They saw the war coming and on December 5, 1941, the flying schools were shut down and the F.K.51s were formed into two reconnaissance squadrons based on Java.

The parts are metal and injection molded plastic. There is no engine in this model but the hood can be removed. Underside detail is limited to the suspension & axles as well as what is molded into the underpan. Never started and all of the parts are still on the internal factory sealed colored cardboard blister displays and includes instructions. NOTE: the scale is approximate.
