All 14 Jack Armstrong Tru-Flite cut out Models on a flash drive

Description: Back in 1943 and 44 there was a radio show called "Jack Armstrong All American Boy." It was sponsored by General Mills Wheaties Breakfast Cereal. If you sent a Wheaties box top and 5 cents to Battle Creek Michigan they would send you two of these paper model airplane kits called "Jack Armstrong Tru-Flites." There were 12 of these planes in a series available at the time. Later they added the P-51 and its counter Axis plane. for a total of 14 planes in all. These were copyrighted back in 1943 and 1944 by General Mills. I offer copies of these models showing the original copyright of 1944. Most of these models as offered on eBay are modified or redesigned versions with later copyright dates. Not all, but for the most part, the reproduced color's of these planes are incorrect , and in many cases detail has been added or deleted. What I offer is correct original color taken from the original model sheets that was sent in 1944 with the exception of the FW 190. I no l no longer have the original of that plane so I had to substitute that plane for one that has a flaw in the color. This offering is designed for the collector or would make a great mobile.It may be noted that what is offered online today is priced to gouge the buying modeler or historian. Many are way over priced at $14.95 and $5.00 to mail. The pricing is outrageous and ridiculous. By the way these would make a great club project for some competition in a club event. As a historical note these were given to hospitals for our wounded WW-II service members. They were so popular at the time that local and national contests were held. Just about anyone with the model airplane hobby could and did participate. Here is a list of the 14 planes that are on the flash drive. The pictures do not show the wings but of course they are included. Some completed planes are shown elsewhere on my Ebay site. also included are 6 pages of instructions. with some construction hints these will print out in full color on 120 lb cardstock paper available from Walmart snd most office supply stores at a very reasonable price.Curtiss p-40, Japanese Zero,Russian Yak I-26 , Focke Wulf 190British Fairey Fulmer, Heinkel 113P-47 Jug, Japanese Nakajima Oscar K-1Supermarine Spitfire, Japanese Aichi Val F-6F Hellcat, Russian StrumovicBell P-39 Aircobra, P-51 MustangEach plane kit is complete with fuselage, wing and tail assembles fully printed on top and bottom of the model
