Description

HERE I AM OFFERING A VERY, VERY RARE, TIN AND PLASTIC, ANTIQUE AND BATTERY OPERATED, BANDAI
CESSNA SPORTS PLANE, MODEL NUMBER 42
70
. THE
PLANES BODY
IS MADE OF PLASTIC WHILE T
HE WINGS ARE MADE FROM
PRESSED METAL/
TIN
.
NOS
=
N
EW
O
LD
S
TOCK
.
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE ITEMS THAT WHEN I
RECEIVED IT, IT WAS NOT USED AS I HAD NO INTEREST ON PLANES! IN FACT, I HAVE TWO (2) OF THESE AS MY DAD BROUGHT 2 OF THESE HOME AT THE TIME... ONE FOR ME AND ONE FOR MY BROTHER! NEITHER ONE OF US WERE INTO PLANES!! SO THESE ARE IN IDENTICAL CONDITION/HAPE!!
HAVING HUNDREDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY. 95% 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 BANDAI CESSNA SPORTS PLANE IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!
T
HE EXACT DATE THIS WAS MADE/OFFERED ELUDES ME, BUT IF I WERE TO GUESS, I WOULD SAY THIS IS FROM THE MID '70'S.
THIS MODEL
HAS IDENTICAL ACTION TO THE VW BUS THAT I JUST SOLD TO A GERMAN BUYER.
IT DOES A FIGURE "8"
PATTERN
. IN ADDITION TO THIS FIGURE "8" PATTERN, THE MODEL HAS A LOUD ENGINE ROAR AND THE
PROPELLER
SPINS VERY RAPIDLY WHEN OPERATING. THE ENGINE IS CHROME PLATED GIVING
IT
THAT
FINISHED LOOK.
THE TIN LITHOGRAPH
ON THE WINGS
, OR REALLY WING, IS STILL FACTORY FRES
H
, SHINY
AND BRIGHT. THE TWO PLASTIC BR
ACES PIVOT OUT AND SIMPLY REST ON THE BODY TO HELP GIVE IT ADDITIONAL SUPPORT.
THE FRONT WHEEL
MOVES SLOWLY ALLOWING IT TO DO THE FIGURE "8" PATTERN WHILE BOTH REAR WHEELS POWER THE PLANE FORWARD. THIS
MONO WHEEL IS FREE SPINNING.
ALL THREE OF THE TIRES ARE MADE OF A
SEMI SOFT
RUBBER AND HAVE NO CRACKS, HARD SPOTS OR BLEMISHES.
BOTH REAR WHEELS HAVE NICE SHINY C
HROME HUB CAPS!
ALL OF THE DECALS ARE STILL FACTORY APPLIED AND SHOW NO SIGNS OF THEM BLEEDING THROUGH OR COMING UNDONE.
ON THE BOTTOM YOU HAVE THE BANDAI LOGO STAMPED INTO THE
PLASTIC
BATTERY COVER. THE ON/OFF SWITCH IS LOCATED HERE ON THE BOTTOM AS WELL. THIS
"ON/OFF" SWITCH I
S IN A TRICKY SPOT AND ONE MUST
USE
EXTREME CAUTION WHEN CLOSING THIS BATTERY LID
.
AS THE "ON/OFF" SW
ITCH WILL SNAG THE LID AND IF YOU EVEN ATTEMPT TO FORCE THIS CLOSED, IT WILL BREAK THE SWITCH! SO ONCE A
GAIN, BE MINDFUL HERE!
THE BODY HAS NO
APPARENT
IMPERFECTIONS ... ANYWHERE! THE ORIGINAL WINDSCREEN ALSO DOUBLES AS THE BASE FOR THE WINGS AND IT IS PERFECT WITH NO STRESS CRACKS OR DISCOLORATION
(
IT IS DESIGNED TO BE GREEN IN COLOR). THE PIECE THAT I NEVER SEE ON ANY OF THESE PLAN
ES IS THE SMALL ANTENNA
WHICH
ALSO LOCKS IN THE WINGS! WHILE IN STORAGE IT HOLDS THE PROTECTIVE
CORRUGATED
INTO
POSITION
SO THE BODY DOES NOT SUFFER ANY BOX RASH.
THE WING IS PLACED ON THE BOTTOM OF THE BOX AND IS PROTECTED BY A PERFECTLY FITTED
PIECE OF CHIPBOA
RD. HERE YOU MIGHT FIND A SMALL SIGN OF BOX WEAR OR FRICTION/RASH. ALTHOUGH, I DID NOT SEE ANY IT IS HERE THAT
, IN MY OPINION, IS THE WEAKEST LINK! BUT, THIS IS EXACTLY HO
W THIS PLANE LEFT THE BANDAI FACTORY IN JAPAN THOSE SO MANY YEARS
AGO. THIS IS EXACTLY HOW BOTH OF THESE PLANES ARE NOW!!
TO TOP THIS OFF, YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS SHOWING YOU JUST HOW TO PLACE THE WING ON THE BODY. THIS SMALL SHEET OF PAPER HAS DISCOLORED OVER THE DECADES, BUT IS 100%
ORIGINAL AND THE ONLY INSERT THAT IS
/WAS
CONTAINED
WITHIN
THIS FACTORY BOX.
THE ORIGINAL BOX
OFFERED HERE IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE/CONDITION. IT STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL
SIXTEEN
(
16
) STAPLES HOLDING THE TOP AND THE BASE TOGETHER..... FOUR (4) ON EACH END.
ALL OF THE INSERTS ARE ORIGINAL AND ALL ARE HERE AND BEING USED AS THEY WERE DESIGNED TO BE.
THESE BOXES MADE IT'S WAY TO THE TOP OF ONE OF MY TOWERS OF BOXES AND AS SUCH IT DID NOT SUFFER ANY CRUSHING DAMAGE
AS SOME OF MY OTHER MODELS BOXES HAVE. ONE END DOES HAVE A SMALL TEAR
WHICH IS LESS THEN 1 INCH AND ON THE SEAM/CORNER. THIS IS ON ON LY ONE OF THE BOXES!
BY MY STANDARDS AND POLICIES, I VERY RARELY DO NOT TEST WHAT IT IS I AM OFFERING HERE ON E-BAY. AFTER ALL JUST HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO TEST A MODEL? ALL ONE NEED DO IS TO TOSS IN A FEW BATTERIES AND GIVE IT A GO! I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE SELLERS WHO WILL EVER SAY "THIS MODEL IS UNTESTED AND AS SUCH IT IS SOLD IN AS IS CONDITION" OR , "I HAVE NOT TESTED THE WIND-UP MECHANISM (CLOCK-WORK) AS I DO NOT HAVE A KEY, SO THIS WILL BE SOLD UNTESTED". THIS TIN BANDAI
CESSNA SPORTS PLANE
MODEL IS FULLY TESTED (AND WORKS PERFECTLY) AND WILL BE FULLY TESTED ONCE MORE, JUST PRIOR TO SENDING IT OFF. I DO THIS TWICE, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FIRST TESTING WAS NOT A FLUKE! I AM SURE WE BOTH DO NOT WANT ANY ISSUES HERE AND THIS IS ONE EASY STEP TO AVOID ANY!
THIS IS A REALLY COOL MODEL AND HOW IT WORKS IS SIMPLE
. YOU PLACE TWO (2) SIZE "AA" CELLS INTO THE CHASSIS
, CLOSE THE LID AND TURN THE
PLANE
"ON" AFTER YOU PLACED ON THE WINGS THAT IS.
HERE
ONCE AGAIN, USE CAUTION WHEN INSERTING THESE "AA" BATTERIES INTO THE BASE.
I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE E-BAY WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE. I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING THEM AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING THEM OFF. I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS!
ALL-IN-ALL YOU WILL BE VERY, VERY HARD PRESSED TO LOCATE ANOTHER BANDAI MODEL 4
270
CESSNA PLANE THAT LOOKS LIKE AND WORKS LIKE THIS ONE DOES! ADD TO THIS THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL BOX WITH ALL OF THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING WITH INSTRUCTIONS AND
IS
FULLY FUNCTIONING  ... NOW YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT ANY COLLECTOR WOULD BE PLEASED AND PROUD TO ADD TO THEIR COLLECTION OF
MODEL AIRPLANES
, TIN, BATTERY OPERATED, ANTIQUE JAPANESE MODEL COLLECTION!!
ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA E-BAY MESSAGING AND SUPPLY ME WITH YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS AND I WILL DO THE REST!
