    Description

    Up for auction is a lot of seven rare WWII plastic
    Cruver
    spotter/recognition plane for repair/restoration. The scale is 1/432. This is the "pocket" version, originally meant to be held at arm's length to help identify plane in flight. The hole through it is to hang the plane on a string. The pocket versions are hard to find because most were lost or discarded after the war. It bears the Cruver trademark - a "C" inside a circle, which looks similar to a copyright symbol. This is
    NOT
    the Kix Cereal version released in the 1950s.  "U.S.A. C-47" is on the underside. The detail on this small plane is incredible, and the condition is fantastic, considering it is nearly 70 years old.
    Included in this lot are the following:
    PB2Y-3 (missing left vert. stabilizer)
    C-60-A (missing left vert. stabilizer)
    Mitsubishi F1M (missing central pontoon)
    Waco CG-44 (missing left wheel)
    P-51 (broken vert stabilizer)
    OS2U-1 (cracked horizontal stabilizer)
    JAP Kate (broken left wing)
