OTAKI Kit No. OY2-28-400, REPUBLIC P-47D, 1/48 SCALE

This is a very good kit of the Razorback P-47. It consists of 53 green-grey plastic parts, two clear parts, a decal sheet for three aircraft--two USAAF and one RAF, two instruction sheets with assembly and painting/marking information for three aircraft--one sheet is in English and one is in Japanese, and a seperate sheet of two color side-views by Rikyu Watanabe. The kit is as new with all vinyl parts in their original plastic bags, perfect decals, and the insert and instructions in as new condition. The box is excellent. (With the still-sealed parts, two instruction sheets, fresh decals, the Watanabe prints, and the great box art, this is as nice a collectible kit as I've offered. SOLD! (The model is 1/48 scale not 1/50 as the Price Guide indicates.)

SPITFIRE, John W. R. Taylor and Maurice F. Allward

 

 

 

This beautiful tribute to the Spitfire was published in Leicester, Leics., United Kingdom by the Harborough Publishing Co. Ltd in 1946. It is a near contemporary record of the Spitfire's activities during the Second World War and includes many b/w photographs, drawings and diagrams, details of Spitfire equipped squadrons, the building of the aircraft and the variants. This is more an appreciation of, and romance with, the aircraft than it is an objective history--it was written too close to the wars' end to be that. But it is filled with many beautiful photos plus detail drawings and a great fold-out cutaway of the MK XIVe. 8" x 11", 119 pp. My copy is in VERY GOOD condition with a small crack in the binding between pages 2 and 3 and some slight fading of the spine. US$50.00.
