1/48 536 Lindberg Convair XFY-1 VTO Pogo
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
This large scale model dated 1987 and is from the original 1950s molds. Features fine raised surface detail, counter-rotating propellers, pilot figure and boarding ladder. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. The Convair VTO was a Navy program for a high performance zero-length take off fighter. The aircraft flew well but transition from vertical/horizontal and back was tricky. This, combined with the performance of the new jets signaled the end of the program in 1955.
