Description:
|
I am semi-retiring and downsizing my office, and I have two Hasegawa Museum Series 1/8 models available for relocation to a good hangar - the SE-5 and the Sopwith Camel.
Both were professionally built and are as good as it gets.
The planes are half-covered; half-uncovered. Thus, on the Sopwith, the Right-hand wings (top and bottom) are covered, as is the Right-hand side of the fuselage (running from front back to rear); while the other half of the plane is not - leaving the ribs and stringers and what-not on the Left-hand side of the plane exposed for viewing. On the SE-5, it is the Left-hand side which is covered. The control surfaces are connected to the controls, so that when one moves the stick or the pedals, the ailerons, ruder, and the elevator move in response. Furthermore, the roundels and numbers are airbrushed on - no decals here!
These are the Original Series Kits, and they are extraordinarily beautiful. It pains me to part with them, but, then, I do have my price: $15,000 for the pair; $8,000 separately, but I will not sell separately until each is spoken for. JPEG Pictures are available. My office is in West Palm Beach, Florida. Telephone (561) 659 - 1810. Guy Stewart

Has there been any movement on this one?
(he says with a smile)
I have all 3, built, with gold leafed cowling on the Sop and Dr1
Yea, I had to build a custom red oak cabinet to put them in
needless to say, I worry about them every night
I like his asking price, as they took over 6 months to make each one... is he on target, or asking too much?
