WWII F6F Hellcat Fighter Aircraft – Working Front End Cutaway

$7,500List Price

About the Item

1943 WWII Grumman F6F Hellcat Fighter Aircraft – Working Front End Cutaway. This recently found cutaway model is an important part of aircraft history. The model is dated 1943 and was the year they introduced the F6F Hellfire fighter aircraft. This was one of the rare and surviving teaching aids that helped our WWII pilots and mechanics make this one of the most successful fighters. This example was recently discovered and was in storage for over 60 years. It's in perfect condition. All we needed to do was clean it up and build a display stand. The electronics and mechanics are in working order. This display illustrated the three-bladed Curtiss Electric propeller. With the push of a button the 3 props will twist and change their angle. The cutaway allows you to see the gears and components in action and show the engineering that made this innovation possible. The cutaway also comes with a custom made 3 wheel dolly to help move it around (not pictured). For questions or net pricing contact dealer directly. A BIT OF HISTORY. The Grumman F6F Hellcat was a carrier-based fighter aircraft developed to replace the earlier F4F Wildcat in United States Navy (USN) service. Although the F6F resembled the Wildcat, it was a completely new design powered by a 2,000 hp Pratt Whitney R-2800. Some tagged it as the “Wildcat’s big brother”. The Hellcat was the first USN fighter designed in view of lessons from combat with the Japanese Zero. The Hellcat was credited with destroying 5,271 aircraft while in service with the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps (5,163 in the Pacific and eight more during the invasion of Southern France, plus 52 with the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm during World War II), which was more than any other U.S. naval aircraft. Postwar, the Hellcat was phased out of front line service, but remained in service as late as 1954 as a night fighter.

Rare M4 Leather WWII Horse Gas Mask

Located in Peekskill, NY

M4 US Government Army Issue World War II, vintage 1941-1942 Horse Gas Masks are very scarce. Due to the large size, most were discarded after the war. Occasionally, one will pop up, but most are incomplete or in poor condition. The M4 Horse Gas Mask has 2 large filter canisters, one placed on each shoulder of the horse. It has a chest mounted pack, and a rubber mask for the horse's muzzle. Flexible hoses run between the components, and leather straps keep everything secure to the horse. Horses (Cavalry) and Pack Mules were not as common in WWII as they were in WWI, making the Horse Gas Mask all the more rare. If you are a serious gas mask collector, consider the chance of finding another M4 Horse gas mask. Included is the signed canvas...

Large 1930s Ford Tin Goose Tri-Motor Airplane Model

Located in Peekskill, NY

This is a large delicate tin model made around the same time the real Tin Goose was flying. The wingspan is an impressive 40 inches. The wheels are rubber and the 4 part windshield is glass. I'm surprised the model survived in such nice and complete condition for about 90 years. We had a custom display stand made for it that brings it to another level. Between 1926 and 1933 some 200 Trimotors were built in Ford's own factory. Corrugated metal on great thick monoplane wings was a German development, used in Junker JU-52 planes that were flying the Berlin-Rome-London route. Trimotors were flown by airlines, oil companies and wealthy individuals. The Ford Trimotor...
