GUILLOW'S ALBATROS D5A!

Here's a really elderly Guillow's flying scale model dating from 1957! One of the first in the small scale series of WWI balsa kits, this is a somewhat corpulent version of the German Albatros D.Va which aside from the usual sheets of die-cut parts, balsa strip and decals comes with vacform nose ring and spinner; a pair of plastic wheels; metal winder; hardwood nose plug and the original rubber band although I cannot vouch for its elasticity after so many years in storage! The only thing this kit does lack is any tissue covering-hence the price adjustment-but lightweight aeromodelling tissue is available from specialist outlets which a quick Google search will reveal. Another great addition to the series and a true pioneer of the genre. With a wingspan of 18" and a length of 14",the scale is approximately 5/8'' to the foot.
