SM-175 Cleveland North American B-45 Tornado - 26 Inch Wingspan Flying Wooden Model
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
Rare kit from 1953. The Simplex line was designed for those who desired flying models with true scale appearance but wanted to get into the air faster. They were not 'simple' as the name implies, but they were much easier than the highly realistic, true scale and complex 1/16 scale Cleveland offerings. This kit features shaped and cut out wood parts, many sheets of quality die-cut printwood, fully finished wheels, fully formed wire main and nose landing gear struts, clear plastic bombadier's nose and pilot's canopy still in 'mint' condition and perfectly clear (not yellowed), wood stock, factory cut stringers and spars as required, covering tissue and more. Includes a large sheet of full color decals (in amazing 'near mint' condition) and Cleveland's famous full size building plans. Never started. The small parts and hardware are still in the factory sealed wax bag; all other parts are inventoried complete with decals and plans/instructions.
