I was going through my model stash and found an old armor kit that I am curious about. It appears to be an M-46 and is wood. It would take a serious modeler to make something of this. It is a "Merco" kit and is 1" to
Never heard of it but the scale sounds like it works out to 1/27 which is really bizzare.

Merco was an early model producer, doing primarily rubber-band and control-line gas powered airplane kits, from the late 40's into the early 1960's. I knew they did some other subjects, also in wood, but never knew just exactly what.
Merco, after leaving the kit business, produced a line of accessories & hardware for R/C planes until the early 70's. My Goldberg Sr. Falcon RC plane (built in 1971, and still flying for it's later owner 25 years later when last I heard) was equipped with a Merco spinner on its Enya .45 when I completed it.
