1/4 809-1495 Renwal The Visible Airplane Engine WASP 9 Cylinder Radial by Pratt & Whitney
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
From the late 1950s. Very large (1/4 scale) and highly detailed kit. By far the finest working visible aircraft engine kit ever made. Comes with electric motor, gear and battery boxes and all hardware. Transparent housings permit viewing the correctly working pistons, valves, rocker arms, connecting rods, cam and gears in action with synchronized firing of the spark plugs using red electric bulbs. Propeller also changes pitch. Kit is molded in clear, red, black, blue metallic and gray plastic. The box is one of the best I have ever had but has wear as shown. Color and gloss are very good and all four corners are solid and original. The inner box is excellent- all cardboard inserts and clear panels are intact as shown and display very well. The bottom box (tray) is solid and 'good' with the main flaw being fading to the bottom. The kit has not been started. It has been carefully inventoried and the plastic parts are 100% complete. The metal parts and bulbs are all still in factory sealed envelopes. The Renwal cement is present and mint. Includes instructions, parts sheet, yellow lubrication warning, small Renwal catalog and special booklet on 'The Aircraft Engine and How It Operates.' All of these are in 'excellent' to 'near mint' condition.
