Mach 2 Blohm und Voss Ha-139 - Luftwaffe Minesweeper, 1/72
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Sold
The Ha-139 was an attractive, all metal inverted gull wing floatplane. At one time it was the largest float-equipped aircraft in the world. Initially, this was a civil aircraft and between 1937 and 1939, Deutsche Luft Hansa flew them on trans-Atlantic routes, mainly between Bathurst, Gambia and Natal, Brazil. They were catapult-launched from a tender ship (such as the Friesenland) and were able to transport 500kg of mail up to 5,000 km. At the start of World War II, the Ha-139s were transferred to the Luftwaffe where they were used for transport, reconnaissance and minesweeping in the Baltic. While successful in the civil role, they were not well suited to military work. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions.

Aurora-KB Fokker E-V D-VIII - Collectors Series - Polish Air Force -(EV), 1/48, 1135-170
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
Sold
1972 issue with revised molds; a much better kit that previous issues. Includes pilot, ground crewman and battle terrain base. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including decals and instructions. The aircraft represented fought with the Polish Air Force against the Ukranian forces in 1919 but by that point it was a D-VIII. The Fokker E.V was a fantastic performer and the result of a longtime Fokker development, the cantilever wing. In addition to greatly reducing drag, a properly built cantilever wing is very light and strong. This wing was first used on prototype V17 and then on V28 which took part in the Second Fight Competition (July 6-14 1918) where the most experienced German front line pilots chose new fighters for late war service. V28 was chosen for it's excellent flying properties and 200 of the production aircraft, known as the Fokker E.V, were ordered. Over 289 aircraft were delivery. The E.V began front line service on August 5, 1918; Lt. Emil Rolff of Jasta 6 reported an aerial victory on August 17. However, the day before, an E.V suffered catastrophic wing failure. Two days later, the same failure cost Lt. Rolff his life. All E.Vs were immediately grounded. A detailed investigation showed that there were fatal defects in the wing assembly caused by slack manufacturing processes. Although it was not his fault, Fokker took this opportunity to re-design and strengthen the wing. Existing E.V aircraft received new wings and newly built aircraft were designated D.VIII. Modified aircraft made it back to the front in November, too late for service. However, the aircraft saw active service after that war with the Freikorps air units, the Polish Air Force against Russia, the Dutch Air Force and an unspecified number went to France and the USA.
