This is an exceptional example of a tin B36 Convair Peacemaker with friction drive by Yonezawa of Japan.
It is one of the largest tin toy airplanes ever made with a wingspan of 26".
The airplane is complete except for the dome canopy over the cockpit.
The factory paint is all original without any touch ups.
As you can see the rubber tires are in excellent shape as well as the rest to the aircraft.
The friction works well except for the first prop on th...e right wing inside has never spun. I know this because this is a childhood toy I got at the age of 3 for Christmas in 1958, makes me the original owner.
This plane is in far better condition than others that have sold recently. Please do not hesitate to ask questions.
A question was asked about the gap between the vertical stabilizer and the fuselage, this is how the plane was built in 1958 in Japan as it has never been hit or abused and I took the wing off and looked inside and you can see where it attaches to the fuselage that the only way to totally correct this is to remove the stabilizer and it drops down all the way to the bottom of the fuselage where it attaches. Not going to pull it apart to correct.
