I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED (TO THOUSANDS) OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS/ITEMS THAT I HAVE COLLECTED OVER THE PAST 5 DECADES AND/OR HAVE COLLECTED ALONG THE WAY.
I HAVE DECIDED TO START SELLING OFF SOME OF MY COLLECTION OF ANTIQUE/VINTAGE MODELS, TRAINS, PLANES, BOATS, TOYS, E
TC
.....
HAVING HUNDREDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY. 95% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KINDS LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS RARE, VINTAGE "SKY BOLT" PLANE IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE
!
AS YOU CAN SEE THE ORIGINAL BOX IS HERE AND IN VERY GOOD OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE.
THE BASE AND LID STILL HAS ALL 4 ORIGINAL STAPLES HOLDING IT TOGETHER (EIGHT [8] IN TOTAL)
.
THIS BOX DOES SHOW SOME SLIGHT WEAR AS THIS HAS BEEN STASHED AMONGST A TOWER OF BOXES FOR DECADES NOW. YOU DO HAVE A COUPLE OF PIECES OF VINTAGE TAPE ON ONE OF THE SMALLER ENDS OF THE LID (AS PICTURED)... A SMALL TEAR CAUSED THIS REPAIR.
THIS IS A FRICTION TRIGGER DRIVEN PLANE AND ALSO USES TWO ROCKET LAUNCH SPRING LOADED MECHANISMS WHICH ARE LOCATED UNDER THE WINGS.
THE TRIGGER SPINS THE ORIGINAL PROPELLER AS YOU HAVE A NICE PISTOL STYLE GRIP TO HOLD ON TO. AND BY USING YOUR THUMB, YOU CAN LAUNCH THE INCLUDED ORIGINAL ROCKETS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE PLANE BY SIMPLY DEPRESSING EITHER ONE OF THE TABS LOCATED UNDER THE WINGS.
THESE ROCKETS ARE SIMPLY PUSHED INTO THE LAUNCHER WHICH "CLICKS" WHEN THESE ARE LOCKED INTO POSITION.
ALL THAT YOU SEE HERE IS 100% ORIGINAL AND WORKS PERFECTLY! THE WINGS SLIDE IN AND ATTACH TO THE FUSELAGE AND THE  TINY METAL TAB PIVOTS TO LOCK THESE IN PLACE.
ALL OF THE GRAPHICS ON THIS PLANES BODY AND WINGS ARE DONE VIA TIN LITHOGRAPHY!
THE ONLY PLASTIC ON THIS PLANE ARE THE TWO (2) ORIGINAL ROCKETS AND THE PROPELLER! ALL OF WHICH ARE ORIGINAL TO THIS PLANE!!
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 IT AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING IT OFF. I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS! THIS
"SKY BOLT"
PLANE WILL NOT NEED TO BE RE-TESTED AND I AM 100% SURE THAT YOU WILL BE VERY PROUD AND HAPPY TO OWN THIS MODEL AND WITH JUST A LITTLE
DILIGENCE
EXERCISED YOU WILL GET AS MANY YEARS OF
USE AND PL
EASURE O
UT
OF THIS PLANE AS I HAVE!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT
MY
PICTURES AS THEY BECOME AN IMPORTANT PART OF MY DESCRIPTION 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!
