Description
This collection consists of three die-cast metal aircraft models representing historic aviation types, attributed to commemorative series such as those produced by Corgi or SpecCast. The first model is a Grumman G-21 Goose high-wing amphibian aircraft. It is finished in silver paint with a black nose and features United States Coast Guard markings, including the number 7725 on the nose and fuselage and USCG on the left wing. The model includes yellow-tipped black three-blade propellers and yellow under-wing stabilizing floats. The second model is a Lockheed Vega 5B, representing the aircraft flown by Amelia Earhart. It is finished in vibrant red with gold pinstripe detailing. The registration number NR-7952 is printed in black on the upper wing and both sides of the vertical stabilizer. The tail features a Lockheed winged logo. The model is equipped with a silver-tone two-blade propeller and streamlined wheel spats. The third model is a high-wing monoplane finished in military olive drab, characteristic of a Stinson Reliant or similar utility aircraft. It displays US military star-and-bar insignia on the wings and fuselage. The fuselage side is marked AAF 440, and the vertical stabilizer features red and white horizontal stripes with a yellow A over the serial number 172841. It is equipped with a black three-blade propeller with a red hub. All three items are constructed of painted die-cast metal with plastic components for propellers, landing gear, and specific structural details.
