A16-198 Sterling Fokker D-8 Drops Twin Bombs in Flight - 21 Inch Wingspan for RC / Free Flight / Control Line - (D-VIII)
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Good++
From the early to mid 1960s. This model is designed for either RC, free flight or control line and features an innovative system for automatically dropping twin bombs in flight. 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 models to be deluxe kits as they featured color decals, high-grade die cut balsa, vacuform plastic detail parts, plastic wheels (if required), finished wire landing gear, rubber motor and plastic prop, full size plans with instruction details and full instructions for conversion to RC or control line. The kit has never been started. The small parts that were factory sealed are still in the sealed bag. The parts that were not factory sealed have been inventoried complete including decals and instructions.
