A nice lot of unbuilt Skybirds shewing early (red box), middle (blue box), wartime (brown paper envelope) and final/postwar (brown box) forms of packaging.

#31
Miscellaneous Skybirds including a factory made Spitfire and boxes for the diecast Caudron racer and Aeronca 100.  This lot sold for £420 in 2008.   The built Mustang is definitely not Skybirds.

Thank you Mark for these,I have never previously seen a built up model of the Skybirds Seagrave Meteor,this aircraft was well ahead of its time and makes a very attractive model subject.

Barry,
Now you can say you've seen two!  This one quite obviously restored with aftermarket airscrews.

Thanks Mark for the illustration, especially emphasising the packageing that was necessitated by the War Years. Even I don't remember those periods.
