Please check my other listings... 1940's MARX TOYS FLYING FORTRESS...... STILL WITH ITS ORIGINAL BOX.

18 inch / nearly 46 cm wing span. EARLY VERSION WITH QUADRUPLE METAL PROPS..... CLOCKWORK / WIND UP MECHANISM..... SPARKING WING MOUNTED MACHINE GUNS.

WITH CAREFUL WINDING , THE MECHANISM DRIVES THE MAIN UNDERCARRIAGE WHEELS... AND POWERS THE MACHINE GUNS WITH THEIR SPARKING FLINT WHEELS. The spring is very strong...

The plane will taxi forward somewhat (would be better on a wooden surface);when picked up, the mechanism is sufficiently fast enough to produce a sparking action from the wing mounted guns (a good oiling would posibly improve running). Please try the following VIDEO link, to see a short clip of the working action. THE AIRCRAFT DISPLAYS REALLY WELL..... WITH SOME EXPECTED AGE/PLAY WEAR......

Surface chips, marks, scratches;THE FUSELAGE HAS SOME IMPRESSIONS/DENTS ON SIDES... BUT AS IT'S HOLLOW, I'M SURE YOU COULD IMPROVE WITH A GENTLE PUSH OUT, USING A SUITABLE BLOCK. THE COLOURS ARE GREAT, WITHOUT THE USUAL HEAVY FADE.

EARLY TYPE PROPELLERS IN METAL.... THE RARE ORIGINAL BOX HAS CONSTRUCTION INFO ON REVERSE...... ONE END HAS SOME MISSING/WORN END FLAPS AND AN OLD INNER TAPE REPAIR.....

THERE'S ALSO AN INNER CARD SECTION? SO NICE TO HAVE THE BOX. BRIGHT ORIGINAL FINISH AND STILL RUNS. I'VE ADDED PLENTY OF IMAGES TO HOPEFULLY SHOW THE HONEST/ACCURATE CONDITION....

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD CLOSE LOOK FOR YOURSELF, AS THESE PICTURES ALSO FORM PART OF THE DESCRIPTION... If you need any more images or have questions... The item "Rare toy MARX FLYING FORTRESS PLANE BOXED TIN AIRCRAFT WIND UP VINTAGE TINPLATE" is in sale since Monday, August 5, 2019.
