MOMOYA FRICTION PATROL PLANE TIN VINTAGE PLANE. FULLY OPERATIONAL WithORIGINAL BOX
THIS "PATROL PLANE" IS IN VERY GOOD OVERALL SHAPE/CONDITION WITH VERY.... VERY FEW SIGNS OF ANY ABUSE OR PLAY WEAR.
THE WEAR THIS PLANE DOES SHOW WEAR FROM PLAY WEAR, BUT THIS WEAR IS VERY LIGHT TO COMPARED WITH NORMALLY USED TOYS OF THIS ERA. LY USED IN ORIGINAL BOX. HAVING HUNDREDS (REALLY THOUSANDS) OF MODEL S TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY.
90% 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 COOL TIN PATROL PLANE IS NO EXCEPTION. THIS PATROL PLANE IS STILL IN IT'S ORIGINAL BOX. AND THE BOX ITSELF DOES ALSO SHOW SOME WEAR, MORE ON THIS LATER. THIS PATROL PLANE HAS A WINGSPAN OF AROUND 14 INCHES (36CM) AND IS SLIGHTLY OVER 13 INCHES (33CM) IN LENGTH.THE WINGS, TAIL AND FUSELAGE ARE ALL NICELY MARKED WITH REALISTIC MARKINGS OF THE ERA. THE ENTIRE PLANE IS MADE OF TIN AND ALL OF THE GRAPHICS THAT YOU SEE ARE DONE VIA TIN LITHOGRAPHY.
TO INCLUDE THE "PD" SHIELD. THE UNDERSIDE OF THIS PATROL DOES SHOW SOME LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL SCRATCHES AS SHOULD BE EXPECTED FROM A TOY WHICH WAS PLAYED WITH AND IS NOT BEING REPRESENTED AS NOS (NEW OLD STOCK). THE WHEELS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE AND SHOW NO CRACKS, DRY-ROT OR FLAT SPOTS. THE LARGER FRONT TWO (2) WHEELS POWER THIS PLANE WITH A STRONG AND ORIGINAL FRICTION DRIVE. THE FRICTION DRIVE IS CONNECTED TO THE PROPELLER VIA AN AXEL. THIS ALLOWS THE PROPELLER TO SPIN FREELY WHEN THE FRICTION DRIVE IS ENGAGED.ALTHOUGH I DID NOT PICTURE THE PROPELLER SPINNING, IT DOES DO SO. THE BOX IS IN GOOD SHAPE/CONDITION. IT DOES SHOW SOME WEAR FROM BEING STORED FOR A FEW DECADES AND IT DOES HAVE SOME SLIGHT SIGNS OF SHELF RASHING AND SLIGHT WARPAGE FROM STORAGE.
NO TAPE OR GLUE HAS EVER BEEN ADDED TO THIS BOX. ALL TWELVE (12) STAPLES HOLD THE LID (WHICH TAKES 4 STAPLES) AND THE BASE (WHICH TAKES 8 STAPLES) FIRMLY TOGETHER. YOU ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL "PASSED INSPECTION" QUALITY CONTROL STAMP LOCATED ON THE INSIDE OF THE BASE. TO USE THIS PLANE IS LIKE ANY OTHER FRICTION DRIVEN MODEL.YOU MUST APPLY SLIGHT PRESSURE DOWNWARDS WHILE YOU PUSH IT FORWARDS. THE FASTER YOU PERFORM THIS ACTION, THE FASTER (AND TRADITIONALLY) THE LONGER THE FRICTION DRIVE WILL WORK. ONCE AGAIN, WITH THIS PLANE YOU HAVE THE ADDED FEATURE OF HAVING THE PROPELLER SPIN WHEN THE FRICTION DRIVE IS ENGAGED. I DO ASK THAT YOU INSPECT MY PICTURES AS THESE DO A FAR BETTER JOB SHOWING YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE FROM ME THEN THE WORDS ABOVE COULD EVER DO. IN ADDITION, THESE PICTURES DO BECOME A VITAL AN IMPORTANT PART OF MY DESCRIPTION.
HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO ADD BATTERIES OR TO WIND UP A TOY? I TEST ALL OF MY LISTINGS (IF APPLICABLE), TWICE! ONCE, WHEN I OPT TO LIST IT AND AGAIN PRIOR TO ME SENDING IT OFF.
THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I WILL DO THINGS AND THE ONLY WAY I HAVE DONE THINGS HERE ON E-BAY! AND AS I JUST MENTIONED, THIS TIN "PATROL PLANE" IF FULLY TESTED AND RUNS AS IT IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE/FUNCTION WITH NO ISSUES WHAT-SO-EVER! THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW STORE FOR ME HERE ON E-BAY, BUT, I COME WITH A WELL OILED AND POLISHED TRACK RECORD! A TOP/RATED GOLD POWERSELLER WITH OVER 8 YEARS OF THIS STATUS BACKING ME. I SPECIALIZE IN PRIMARILY THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD AND I CONCENTRATE WITH/ON PORSCHE, BENTLEY, AUDI AND.
I HAVE A UPS ACCOUNT AND MOST OF MY OFFERINGS HERE SHALL BE SENT THAT WAY. I PACK EACH AND EVERY ITEM MYSELF AND DO SO AS IF I WERE RECEIVING IT. UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD SOME RUN-INS WITH SOME VERY SCRUPULOUS INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, WHO BY THEIR NATURE "DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS". CONSEQUENTLY, I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO USE EBAYS GSP AS THIS DOES OFFER "WE THE SELLERS" SOME ADDITIONAL PROTECTION FROM THESE FOLKS. AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THIS IS A NEW AREA FOR ME (HERE ON E-BAY) AND I DO TRY MY BEST TO DO AS GOOD AS I CAN.
THIS HAS BECOME A FULL TIME BUSINESS FOR ME AND I REALLY ENJOY DOING IT. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO TILL IT BECOMES A BURDEN AND I CAN NO LONGER ENJOY IT. I WILL BE ADDING TO THIS STORE WEEKLY (OR TRYING TO) AND HOPEFULLY YOU WILL SEE THAT I DO EXACTLY WHAT I SAY AND DO SO IN A VERY TIMELY FASHION. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PLEASE READ THE VERY BOTTOM OF THIS SECTION AS THIS DOES APPLY TO YOU... I DO HAVE ANOTHER PLANE WHICH I WILL LIST SHORTLY WHICH HAS NO ORIGINAL BOX. LATE LAST WEEK, I SO LD FOUR (4) OF MY NE W LY LIST ED MODELS , SO IT MIGHT TAKE SOME TIME TO GET AHEAD HERE! BE SURE TO CHECK ME OUT OFTEN AS YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU MIGHT SEE THA T SOMETHING SPECIAL WHICH MIGHT JUST FILL THAT VOID IN YOUR PERSONAL COLLECTION! WHAT A NICE GIFT THIS. THIS PLANE WOULD COMPLETE ANYBODY'S COLLECTION OF VINTAGE TIN AIRPLANES, LAW ENFORCEMENT, JAPANESE AIRPLANE, FRICTION DRIVEN PLANE, ECT. THIS IS WHERE I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN READING ALL OF THE ABOVE.IN ORDER TO VIEW MY LISTINGS IN A CONCISE AND ORDERLY FASHION, ALL YOU NEED DO IS TO LOCATE THAT SMALL. DOOR A TOP THIS PAGE.
