Megow's Gas Model Banshee Kit No E26 Vintage 1945 **Check It Out**

Description: Thank you for viewing our listings. We add new inventory weekly to our eBay store and sincerely appreciate your business. All of our items are from our closed aviation art gallery (CollectAir) or museum (Friend or Foe?) or from our own extensive personal estate collection. We are a private party seller, not a big box retail company. Buy with confidence from our family as we have a 100% eBay seller rating! Be sure to save us as a "favorite" and follow our store to get the inside scoop on new inventory. The "Banshee" E26 kit represents the new look that Megow was creating for their newer designs following WWII. The kit box is significantly different and has bright and contrasting graphics; the contents are arranged with a separator with spaces for various liquids and components. I'm guessing, but I believe that these kits were produced in smaller quantities even though they were very nice products - perhaps the economic realities of the post-war recession were having an impact in the late 1940's. This large box measures 8 1/2" x 24 3/8" x 2 5/8" deep. The condition is fair; some edge wear, a few minor lid wrinkles and corner breakouts. Contents have not been fully inventoried; cement and dope cans included but could be (dry), a propeller and landing gear (with a Megow wheel), flanked by balsa sticks, print wood, bare wood sheet, a plywood mount, and a stapled envelope. A large original plan is included, complete with aging and a tear or two but very usable. The Model Editor of Air Trails introduced the "Banshee" as follows: While the Banshee is a comparatively old model in years (the design was developed in 1941), it still is far ahead of all the models to date. The climb, we can safely state, is the fastest we have ever seen. The altitude gained in this climb guaranteed an out-of-sight flight every time the model was flown. It should be noted that the model that Shulman flew in contests had a folding prop. This kit is sold as-is, as -shown. All included parts are shown in the photos. Please view photos.
