FA: Vintage WWI Sopwith Bi-Plane Wood & Fabric Model
Vintage WWI Sopwith Bi-Plane Wood & Fabric Model
This is an old Wood and Fabric Skin Model of a WWI British Bi-Plane. It is in excellent ++ condition with moving rudder, wheels, propeller and tail wings. The model is all hand painted and was made in the 1950s. It is made of internal strips of wood to make the frame and covered in a very thin paper or cloth material skin. The skin is all hand painted which made the skin more ridged and durable. It measures 14 inches long x 18 inches wing span x 5 ½ inches high. The airplane is of a camouflage color with large British Insignia on the top and bottom of the wings. There are wire struts between the wings. The tail has a number that says, (N 644). There is also a (flying stork) bird on each side of the fuselage. The cockpit has a windshield, levels to move the tail back and forth and an instrument panel (see pictures). There are 2 machine guns mounted on the left side of the cockpit. This is in excellent condition with no holes to the fabric. All parts move properly. Although somewhat delicate, it can be handled gently without damaging. To see pictures, please view at: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI...m=180327394272 |
