He remained on the bridge while the sub crash-dove to safety. For this he received the Navy Cross, Gold Star, and was recommended for a posthumous Medal of Honor.
Sterling Zero A6M3 Model 32 Hamp Drops Belly Tank in Flight - 24 inch Wingspan for Free Flight or R/C, A15
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Mint
Sold
Still factory sealed and in investment-grade 'mint' condition. 24 inch wingspan model for RC, free flight or control line.

Sterling was a famous manufacturer dating back to the 1930/40s flying model craze. Although they continued to produce kits for decades after the flying model slump following World War II, they eventually fell victim to the general lack of interest in modeling that occurred in the early 1980s. I always considered Sterling kits to be deluxe kits as they were very complete.
