MATPK-3 - Matchbox 1/72 Boeing P-12E - WWHP111659

Preowned, Resealed, Mint

The Boeing P-12 was a U.S. Army Air Corps biplane fighter of the late 1920s and early 1930s — the Army counterpart to the Navy's F4B — powered by a Pratt & Whitney Wasp radial. The P-12E was a major production variant featuring a semi-monocoque metal fuselage, and it was among the last of the U.S. biplane pursuit fighters before monoplanes took over. In its bright pre-war squadron colours it remains an iconic "golden age" military aircraft.
