MECCANO - AEREOPLANO 2 IN 1 70

Product Information

Once you've finished building, you can take to the skies in your very own stunt plane, or take it apart and rebuild a single engine propeller plane. set had fewer holes, and the holes and nuts and bolts were also smaller, as on the Motor Car Constructor Outfits. Above right is the Meccano Magazine back cover from October 1931 showing the advertisement announcing the introduction of the Aeroplane Constructor outfits. Just the other day, though (May 2014) I happened to be at said nephew's house and while I was there he brought out the kit and after 20mins he had finished it.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Collections: Lots can only be collected from our office by appointment only and must be paid for in full, prior to your arrival, with social distancing consideration in place. Two different types of motors are available for this purpose, and are specially designed to fit inside the fuselage of a model aeroplane.

Other improvements included the reshaping of the lower fuselage to allow the construction of more realistic-looking seaplanes, and moveable tail control surfaces.

Any statement made in the description of a lot is the opinion of the specialist cataloguer and will be either from evidence he or she has at the time of writing the description, this may also be information provided by the vendor of the lot.

The auctioneer has the legal right to re-open any lot in the auction, even if the hammer has come down. Any bids left via a third party, including a online bidding platform, are not classed as absentee bids and are taken as if a room bid. In fact by the late thirties a lot of the aircraft had a rather dated look but never the less they were very popular with boys at the time. If registering for absentee or telephone bids a form of payment method must be left with the auctioneers. Personalised advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of information under California and other state privacy laws, and you may have a right to opt out.

However, with the new generation of planes that appeared during WW2, mass-production (and the need to outfly and outfight competing aircraft) made it very worthwhile for designers to fine-tune the shapes, and a Heinkel wing now looked quite different to a Spitfire wing or the wing of a Lancaster bomber.Later sets had tapered wings a feature advertised in a 1940 UK a trade sales brochures but never introduced due to the ending of production. There was also available a cheaper and simpler Aero Constructor range of outfits these were much smaller and not compatible with larger outfits. For wheeled models, a contrate gear below the fuselage connecting to a special geared axle-piece between the front wheels allowed the plane's propeller to rotate when the model was pushed along the ground.

If you are successful in an auction with an absentee, telephone or internet bid, you will be invoiced, normally within 48 hours of the auction taking place. Up until this point, aircraft designs had been fairly generic, since they'd often been designed for very limited production runs, and the wing is a large aircraft tended to look very much like that of a small plane. It is the responsibility of the bidder to insure that all absentee bids are left with the auction house at least 24 hours before an auction takes place. Brighton Toy and Model Museum is a World-class repository and display environment for early toys and models situated under Brighton Railway Station, on England's South Coast.

The Meccano boy appears to building the same aircraft depicted in the illustration it even shows the use of tapered wings a part that were never made available in the U. Let your imagination fly high as you explore the world of real engineering with the Meccano 2-in-1 Model Stunt Plane Set. Motors are supplied with a Propellor Control Rod and Extension Piece, and these should be fitted in place before either of the Motors is placed in position.
