Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. Please NOTE that the box displays better than the 'fair++' grade is because the box has a thin border of masking tape along the lower sides.

Comet Douglas C-54 / DC-4 Skymaster - 6 Inch Wingspan Solid Wood Model Airplane, 1/187, B6
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
$24
Rare 1945 issue. Features detailed three view plans with cutting patterns and sanding templates as well as painting color tips, two sheets of printwood and wood stock. Never started and inventoried 100% complete with all parts, plans and also basic instructions on the back of the box. In the 1930s and 1940s, most modelers built the flying stick and tissue type models with rubber, co2 or gas power. But there were a small but measurable percent that built solid aircraft display models of great detail. This required great skill worthy of the shipbuilders of old, especially considering the limited offerings. Many manufacturers, such as Comet issued blocks of wood and a plan - the famous (or infamous) 'Make Wood Look Like Plane' kits.

The box top is complete with all four sides and top but is tattered on and along the lower long side; there is also general wear and damage as shown. It does display better than the grade, but is rated as such due to the damage on the box sides The tray (bottom box) is 'very good-' with some wear to the edges. Inside, the superb plans are 'very good++.' They were never 'pinned down' for assembly, have no writing on them and the folds are solid (not fragile.) Flaws are a 3" closed tear and the normal yellowing.

AV Models PSN-2 Parasite Torpedo Attack Glider - Used With DB-3 Mothership, 1/72, AV143
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: NM
$32
Rare. The PSN-2 was a glider floatplane designed to test the concept and guidance equipment for a range of guided glider bombs proposed by S.F. Valk in 1933. Constructed of wood, the PSN-2 was a sleek monoplane aircraft with two floats attached to the wing with struts, an open cockpit in the extreme nose of the fuselage and extra fins at the aft end of each float. In 1939-1940 the PSN-2 was built with a torpedo loadout. Although it could be towed, two were carried under the wings of the famous TB-3 and plans were to later use a DB-3 twin-engine bomber. Production of the first series of the PSN-2 started in Leningrad's plant No.23. The program was canceled unexpectedly in the summer of 1940. This is a very finely high-definition resin model kit with beautiful moldings, very good cockpit detail, torpedo load-out and more. Includes full decals and a painting guide based on a photo (included on the instructions) of the first prototype. The TB-3 was involved in a much more successful parasite version using fighter-bombers called the Zveno. Two (and even three) I-16 Fighters were attached to the underside of the TB-3 wings. The first combat operations took place in July of 1941. The TB-3s flew within range of petrol factories in Romania, and released the I-16s which dive-bombed the factory. On the way home, the I-16s acted as escort fighters. The most famous operation was the destruction of the Chernavodsky Bridge over the Danube in 1941.
