My friend's dad had a couple old kits in his attic that he gave me. The first was a Craft Air Bull Pup, which I have completed. The second is a Science Craft Monocoupe 90-A with a 50" w/s and is F/F rubber. The blueprints are copyrighted 1935 I have not been able to find out any information about it besides what is in the box. I am not going to build this (from the original parts anyways) in order to preserve this awesome old kit. It comes with everything that would have been required to build it such as little glass bottles (sealed with a cork) containing acetone, banana oil, and dope. It looks like there was another bottle but it is not there. There are also a set of x-acto blades, all the building materials (balsa, tissue, wooden wheels, wire, etc), a bag for pins, an aluminum cowl (app. 6" dia.) and dummy radial engine case, and a 12" balsa propeller. The box is readable, but has a lot of tape on it and only about half of the seams are intact. I would like to find out more info about this kit. Any suggestions? The Science Craft Model Airplane Co. was based out of Newark, NJ. I think this is made by Scientific but I'm not sure.
Thanks, -sean

Suggestion-go over to eBay and look up seller easytiger. This is Curtis Mattikow. He has a huge supply of very old kits, and may know something about this one. Curt belongs to a group of guys who collect old kits and might know who to ask if he isn't familiar with the brand. I'm sorry I don't have his e-mail addy handy, but you can get a note to him through eBay.

Later-Ah, found a source.
