$48

During early 1955, Hiller Aircraft designed a large, tilt-wing VTOL aircraft as an in-house study. In 1956, U.S. Air Force showed interest in this concept and assigned a contract to Hiller for the development of a VTOL cargo transport. The test bed was designated X-18. In order to speed the construction process and to conserve available Air Force funding, the X-18 was built from many existing materials, such as the fuselage from Chase C-122, the turboprop engines from the XFV-1 and XFY-1 and miscellaneous parts from the R3Y. The prototype was completed and started to proceed with ground testing in 1958. A year later, it made first flight without any difficulty. After a total of 20 flights were completed, the Air Force ended its flight-testing and set the X-18 aside for ground tests to develop a database for the upcoming XC-142 transport project. In 1964, the X-18 was disassembled for scrap.
Anigrand McDonnell YC-15, 1/72, AA2126
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
$139
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.

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 it's long useful life.
Maquette Boeing Model 307 and C-75 Stratoliner - TWA / Pan Am / USAF, 1/72, MQ-7212
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
$74
From 1997. This unique kit uses a new injection molded fuselage, clear canopy and cabin glass with Frog B-17 wings, elevators and landing gear. That is correct for this aircraft (please see history below). Includes Pan Am, TWA and USAF decals and painting guide. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts including decals and instructions. Because of WWII, only 10 Model 307 Airliners were built. The design was based on the B-17 and used many of the non-fuselage components. The Model 307 was the firts airliner to have a pressurized passenger cabin. Three aircraft were purchased by Pan Am and five by TWA. When WWII started, the Army Air Corps used all the available remaining 307 and re-named them C-75s. Using TWA aircrew they flew an amazing 3000 trans-Atlantic flights. In 1944 they were rebuilt by Boeing. After the war they were returned to TWA and served until 1951, when they were purchased by Aigle Azur Transporters Aeriens in France. Eventually they ended up in Indochina. The Pan Am aircraft operated on the South American routes before and during the war. After 1945 Pan Am used them until 1948, where they saw a continued life as air freighters.

Hawk Supermarine Swift, 1/72, 607-60
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good++
$24
Very cleanly molded mid-1960s model that builds an accurate reproduction. Features excellent fit & finish, recessed and raised panel lines, optional position landing gear and more. Includes a display stand. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. The Swift was a very early jet fighter to replace the Supermarine Attacker. A very capable aircraft, the Swift suffered numerous accidents early on. As a result, less than 200 were ever built and it did not see combat. It did hold a world speed record for a short time, only to have a Douglas Skyray take the record a few hours later. The problems were ironed out, but by then the Hawker Hunter was proving very capable and there was no need for the Swift and it's RAF service life was short. The most successful version was the PR variant.
