This is a collectable vintage 1960s aviation interest model. It consists of a self-assembly model of an unmanned gilder. The model looks back at the early years of aviation - and this is the a model of the gilder produced in 1914.
It is French in origin and made by Unis in France. All the instructions and leaflets in the box are original to the model. These are all in French as manufactured.
The colour of the little gilder is a bright orange colour - which might have been popular in the early 1960s. This colour has transferred onto some of the little envelopes and instructions, as photographed.
I does not seem to have been every assembled and I have photographed all the parts n the box for you. I think that the little wheels attached to wire are missing but these would be easy for you to make and add to the model - they are quite simply designs and clearly shown regards their structure in the leaflets..
The box is in excellent condition with no damages and looks so fabulous on display. The box measures 18 3/4 inches x 4 3/4 inches x 1 1/2 inches.
These mid-century aviation models often fetch three figure sums - but as the little wheels are missing - I have reduced the price down to £80. Grrr! it is a shame that the little wire with the feet has disappeared out the box.
I have taken lots of images so you can see exactly what the box and contents look like.
