Country: United States
Scale: 1:72
Model Manufacturer: Appears to be a build of a Hasegawa kit

Modeled in flight, no landing gear. Nice as is or ready for a craftsman touch to make it really shine.
For your consideration is a vintage plastic model built, painted and detailed. Please look closely at the pictures. I have tried to capture the plane from all angles and close up to give you a true appreciation for the condition. Each plane is a one of a kind build. These are pictures of the actual plane up for sale. Please review carefully. When it is gone, it is gone. Would make a wonderful display piece alone or as part of a larger diorama. Many have part of the original instructions included that describe the plane (I will include it in the photos if available). Landing gear is generally fixed down or up, please see pictures. Why buy a mass produced die-cast metal piece when you can have a one of a kind vintage craftsman model.
This plane will be packed (immobilized) in packing peanuts or EPS beads (think bean bag fill). The box will be lined with a clear plastic bag to minimize the inevitable mess these beads can make when opening. The box will be filled and sealed to secure the plane. I want to do my best to insure they arrive without damage. The shipping box and beads can also be used for future transporting or when the model is not on display. This packaging is included in the cost of the plane. Please note that these are delicate plastic models and not toys. Most were crafted over the last 4 decades and include many small details as you see in the pictures. The pictures represent the model as it currently exists, please review carefully. Although we pack securely in a reinforced box, it is always possible that during shipping a fuel tank, missile, propeller or other item may become dislodged and need to be reattached. Buyer accepts this possibility and and returns will not be accepted under those circumstances. Please open the box carefully upon receipt. Shipping cost as noted in the listing are additional. Due to the specific nature of each custom package, combined shipping is not feasible. Please see listing. Local pickup may be available.
The stand in the photos is part of my studio equipment and not included.
I have tried to identify the model, scale and manufacturer to the best of my ability. If there are experts out there that can add additional insight please let me know.
Thank you for looking.
