Description

Produced by Steelcraft under the Boycraft brand name, this is a vintage pressed steel toy modeled after a tri-motor transport aircraft of the late 1920s to early 1930s. The airplane features a high-wing monoplane design constructed from heavy-gauge pressed steel. It is equipped with three separate engine nacelles, each supporting a two-blade metal propeller. The landing gear consists of two large main wheels with red hubs and a smaller functional tail wheel. The fuselage and wings are finished in silver-toned paint, with a red-painted vertical stabilizer featuring a white decal with the registration mark NX131. A Boycraft brand decal is located on the side of the fuselage.
