While this push propeller model airplane kit is decidedly modern in design, surprisingly it dates from the early years of aviation history in Japan. The Crow design was the first rubber band-powered model plane to ever be built and flown in Japan. Designed and built in 1889, when its inventor was inspired while observing a crow’s wings in flight. The kit uses balsa wood, ultralight Styrofoam, rubber bands and a 5” reverse-pitch propeller. Each plane has a wingspan of 16” and overall length of 18”. Complete illustrated instructions are included. The kits are packed in boxes with appealing graphics in Japanese and English. The parts for the plane are white.
