RARE, VINTAGE, NOS, LEADWORKS ITEM NO. 39901, TIN ZERO FIGHTER PLANE NEW IN BOX!

Description

HERE I
AM OFFERI
NG
UP A VERY RARE, VINTAGE, NOS (NEW OLD STOCK), TIN ZERO FIGHTER PLANE WHICH WAS/IS MADE IN JAPAN EXCLUSIVELY FOR DISTRIBUTION BY LEADWORKS, INC. ONCE LOCATED IN CLEVELAND, OH. THIS ZERO FIGHTER BEING OFFERED HERE WAS/IS MADE IN 1987 AND IS THEIR MODEL NUMBER:
39901
.
I HAVE A VERY LIMITED SUPPLY OF THESE (THREE IN TOTAL) BOTH OF WHICH ARE STILL IN THEIR ORIGINAL PACKAGING TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE ORIGINAL PROTECTIVE INSERTS AND BOTH ARE TRULY NOS (NEW OLD STOCK)!
THESE TIN, NON-POWERED (NO FRICTION NOR CLOCKWORK DRIVE) PLANES HAVE BEEN IN MY POSSESSION FOR WELL OVER TWO (2) DECADES NOW AND NEITHER OF THESE WERE EVER ON DISPLAY, PLAYED WITH, USED OR EVEN LOOKED AT! THEY HAVE BEEN STORED IN THEIR ORIGINAL FACTORY BOXES SINCE NEW AND PLACED INTO MY HEATED BASEMENT, TILL TODAY! I PURCHASED THESE AT A TOY SHOW IN CHICAGO BACK IN THE EARLY 1990'S.
ALTHOUGH NO SCALE IS SHOWN OR MENTIONED ON THE PACKAGING, THIS TIN ZERO FIGHTER IS ABOUT 14 INCHES LONG (35CM) WITH A WINGSPAN OF JUST OVER 15.5 INCHES (39.5CM). IT IS MADE OUT OF TIN AND THE ONLY PARTS/SECTIONS NOT MADE OF TIN ARE THE THREE (3) TIRES, PLASTIC CANOPY, LARGE PLASTIC PROPELLER AND BOTH WHEEL HOUSINGS.
ALL THREE OF THESE PLANES BODIES ARE IDENTICAL AND THAT IS TO SAY ... THEY ARE ALL TRUE NOS WITH NO PLAY WEAR, DENTS, DINGS, RUST, CORROSION, ETC.  AT BEST YOU HAVE SOME TINY SIGNS OF MANUFACTURING TRACES AND THE POTENTIAL FOR A LITTLE FRICTION WEAR HERE AND THERE. ALTHOUGH I DID NOT SPOT ANY OF THIS ON THE ONE PLANE THAT I TOOK THESE PICTURES OF, I HAVE TO BE SAFE AND TOSS IN THIS DISCLAIMER!
THE TIN LITHOGRAPHY IS SUPERIOR TO MANY OTHER MANUFACTURES AS IT POPS REALLY NICELY AND HAS CLEAR DETAILS. YOU HAVE NO STICKERS OR DECALS ON THIS ZERO. THE CANOPY IS PERFECT AND AS SHOULD BE EXPECTED FROM A NOS (NEW OLD STOCK) ITEM. THE LARGE PLASTIC PROPELLER IS AS NEW. IT'S NOT BROKEN, REPAIRED, WARPED OR UNTRUE, IT SPINS FREELY AND WITH EASE.
THE INSTRUMENTATION IS ALL HIGHLY DETAILED TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU CAN SEE THE NEEDLES ON THE GAUGES!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES AS THESE DO A FAR BETTER JOB OF SHOWING YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING FROM ME VS. MY WORDS HERE. ALSO NOTE THAT THESE STILL PICTURES DO BECOME AN IMPORTANT AND VITAL PART OF THE DESCRIPTION.
THE FRONT TWO (2) WHEELS ARE MADE OF A SOFT RUBBER. THE TINY SINGLE REAR WHEEL IS MADE OF A HARDER PLASTIC. ALL OF THESE WHEELS ARE TRUE (PERFECTLY ROUND) AND YOU HAVE NO FLAT SPOTS, DRY-ROT, CRACKS OR ISSUES WITH ANY OF THESE TIRES/WHEELS.
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL, VINTAGE, TIN MODEL AND NOT A REPRODUCTION THEREOF!
YOU WILL RECEIVE THIS PLANE IN IT'S ORIGINAL BOX. NO INSTRUCTIONS EVER EXISTED SO PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT ANY.
THIS OFFERING IS FOR ONLY ONE (1) OF THESE UNLESS MORE THEN ONE (1) IS PURCHASED.
I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE E-BAY WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE. I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING THEM AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING THEM OFF. I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS! THESE
VINTAGE TIN PLANES WILL BE TESTED ONCE MORE PRIOR TO ME SENDING IT OFF TO YOU.
ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT
MY
PICTURES AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA E-BAY MESSAGING AND I WILL DO THE REST!
