By 1943 the Japanese Emprise had to cope with not only a lack of raw materials suitable for aircraft production but also with a lack of qualified experts in this field. The Air Force Command decided to modify and rebuilt some proven designs using non-strategic materials such as wood and to disperse manufacturing to outside areas that work with wood, such as furniture & automobile production. In 1943 this was only applied to training and school aircraft. The Yokosuka D3Y1-K was a full-wood training dive bomber for the Imperial Navy. It mounted a Mitsubishi Kinsei 54 air cooled radial engine and was given the name Myojo (Venus). Production was entrusted to the small Matsushita company, which produced only three by the surrender.

UPC F-86D Sabre Dog - (ex Marusan), 1/50, 5051-100
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Fair++
$58
The Marusan F-86D model is known for an amazing array of action features and accessories, and the UPC reissue includes them all. Scott Eidson did this great box art and most of the other UPC kits as well. This model features a removable radome to display the radar, opening canopy, removable tail section with dolly and detailed jet engine with engine stand, operating leading edge slats, operating wing flaps, moving control surfaces, retracting landing gear, retracting/extending missile tray, boarding ladder, and extra missiles with missile cart. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. This is at least the third edition of this UPC kit as the first one had a rather graphic error - it pictured F-86 Saberjets on the box - NOT the F-86D 'Dog version. UPC stood for Universal Powermaster Corporation which was based out of New York City, NY. UPC did not cut their own molds, but bought kits already molded from other manufacturers and re-boxed the kits in the USA. Scott Eidson, the famous artist best known for his artwork with Revell, also did UPC box art in the 1960s. All UPC production ended in the 1970s.

Sterling Beechcraft Bonanza - 22 Inch Wingspan With Operating Landing Gear For R/C or Free Flight, A3-249
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
$89
This model is from the mid to late 1960s. It is a very well produced stick-and-tissue kit with landing gear that operates in flight. Can be flown with rubber, electric, gas, control line or converted to RC with modern lightweight systems. Features high quality die-cut balsa sheet parts, stripwood and spars, fully formed wire landing gear struts, finished wheels, other wood and metal stock as required, light plastic nose cowl, spinner and other details, beautiful clear vacuformed one-piece cabin window set (still mint not yellowed), rubber motor, plastic prop, a big decals sheet that includes registration, Bonanza ID trim and full side strips as shown, covering tissue and excellent full size plans with detailed instructions. Never started. The small parts are still in the factory sealed clear Sterling bag; all other parts were never sealed and have been inventoried complete. 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' as they had the action features and were much nicer than most other kits of this type.
