Maintrack Hawker P.1083 (P1083) Supersonic Hunter - Conversion Kit - Bagged, 1/72, PXC-01
Vacuform Model Kit
Sold
The rare "Thin Wing Hunter." High quality vac conversion features highly detailed moldings with fine recessed lines are of higher quality than many injection molded models, resin tail cone and full instructions with plans. As a conversion kit, it requires a base kit (not included) and the Airfix Hunter FGA9 is recommended. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes instructions. The P1083 was Hawker's effort to produce a true level flight supersonic jet; most aircraft of the time like the Swift, Mig-15 and F-86 went beyond the sound barrier only in a shallow dive. Work proceeded on the prototype in 1952. The wing design incorporated 50 degrees of leading edge sweepback and a mean thickness:chord ratio of 7.5% compared with the P.1067 Hunter's 45 degrees and 8.5%. The leading edge portion of the new wing, forward of the front spar, made provision for internal fuel bags, an innovation not fitted to early Hunters. The increased sweepback meant that, during a high speed pull-out, a very much greater loading was applied to the rear spar/undercarriage girder than on the standard machine. There was a great deal of hope that this would be the first supersonic fighter; but then the plug was pulled on the project and the prototype scrapped. However, the lessons learned were not wasted as they were used in later marks of the Hunter and aircraft after it.
Arcadia-Craft USS Cairo Federal Gunboat 1962 - (City Class), 1/192, 12
Wood and Metal Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
Sold
Rare scale kit measuring just over 10 inches long. Scale is given as 1/4"-4', which I believe is 1/192. Excellent model with a factory cut hardwood hull and superstructure, metal fittings, other pre-cut hardwood and stock wood as required, full size plans and instructions. The kit has never been started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes instructions. The USS Cairo has a fascinating history. She was built as one of the City Class Ironclad Gunboats and was among the first in the Federal Navy. She was commissioned on January 16, 1862 and was torpedoed and sunk on December 12, 1862. She was 7 miles south of Vicksburg at the time and was headed for a bombardment. The damaged was done by an electrically-fired torpedo. The Cairo sank in shallow water and was forgotten. But the silt did a remarkable preservation on her. Amazingly she was found and subsequently raised in 1964. You can see this ship at a park near the Vicksburg National Cemetery and there is an excellent museum as well.

Guillows Supermarine Spitfire - Flying Aircraft Model, 50-10
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good++
Sold
Rare stick-and-tissue model dated 1954. This was part of Guillow's extensive '50' line of models with wingspans between 16 and 24 inches.

Never started. NOTE: missing canopy. Otherwise inventoried with all other parts and plans. Guillow's founder, Paul K. Guillow, was a WWI naval aviator. In 1926 he began producing wooden model airplane kits. His 'Shelf Models' were some of the earlier non-flying models in production. Guillow's grew during the model boom of the 1930s, and when the Depression hit the hardest, Guillow's responded with lower prices and became one of the low price leaders, frequently advertising in Model Airplane News and other leading publications. During the war, like most manufacturers, Guillow's was forced to alternative materials such as cardboard and pine. Guillow's survived the post WWII slump by creating many inexpensive profile flying rubber powered aircraft and gliders in the 1950s (along with North Pacific) which became famous - some are still available today. The stick and tissue lines have been updated with laser cut parts and are still in production as of 2009.
