Toys Nomura - Showa Brand Airliner
Posted: Thu Jul 01, 2010 10:52 pmThis large green airliner, marked as a DC-7 though it does not even remotely resemble one, has a wing span of sixteen inches.
It is a friction toy in a very colorful Pan American livery. It is the only one I have with struts or braces supporting the friction motor under the wings. The toy is all metal except for rubber tires; nevertheless, it is a lightweight.
Though you cannot see it in the photo, I replaced the tail wheel strut, which was missing.
