Monogram Speedee-Bilt Long Midget - ex Midget Mustang - Flying Scale Model, G6-100
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
Sold
Rare from 1957 and part of the incredibly famous Speedee-Bilt line of prefabricated scale flying models. Formerly released as the Midget Mustang. Before there were plastic models, there were wooden aircraft kits. These usually came in two types - solid and stick and tissue. The solid models were static and usually contained a few blocks of balsa and sometimes a detail part or two. These "Make Wood Look Like Plane" models required a very high level of skill in carving and finishing. The stick and tissue variety were slightly easier to build and provided the ultimate thrill - they could fly when complete with rubber power (and later with free-flight gas and eventually R/C). They still required a great deal of skill, so manufacturers sought ways to make model building more accessible to everyone. One idea was pre-carving and/or prefabrication. This naturally raised prices. Many manufacturers launched lines of 'easy' to build flying models but only Monogram succeeded in making an entire line at an affordable price that would actual fly. The original "Speedee-Bilt" kits were in one-piece two-color boxes. In the early 1950s, shortly before plastic kits were available, Monogram changed to the 'hardbox' with a colorful lithograph slick glued to the top as this kit. Speedee-Bilt kits contained die cut and pre painted wooden parts, completely formed 'Monofoil' airfoil wings, carved wheels and numerous plastic details like cowling, pilot, missiles, propeller and more. Assembly was by detailed full size plans. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present. NOTE: the very left side of the decal sheet was once stuck to the tissue paper. The decals are not torn, but there is residue of the tissue still stuck to the left side of the decals (on the 'N' of the wing registration).

Fresh from a long-closed hobby shop and in investment-grade 'Near Mint-' condition. This first issue is dated 1956 and has the very colorful 'S' artwork that has made these kits so desirable today.

The only flaws are very light creasing at the far right (very hard to see) and very light general wear.

The model has not been started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. 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.
