OK everyone, let's put our collective hive minds together and build some data base for this model company. I had previously mentioned the FLOATS Company that made models in 1/40ish scale for North American Aviation. I have seen and held and had F-100, single and two seats, the F-86 D, X and L, the early FJ-1, FJ-2, and FJ-3, Saberliner, Advanced Saberliner, a T-6, T-28 A and B models, and a Rapier Jet Proposal. Not sure what else, but these are the once I can confirm through touchy feelie and lusting first hand visualization. Naturally NAA made a LOT more, but these were bigger, badder, and resin.
Key Features of Floats documented here:
Thermal formed main parts, usually clear
Usually a Clear Canopy
Thermal Plastic Base
Plastic NAA Logo
Metal upright with hole on top, square nut on bottom
Pin mounted to fuselage
Engraved plastic Data Plate
Very Light weight
Wood Crate (Usually)
Have one?
Take pictures and let's post it and try to build the information and form at least some history on this company. As I said I had a box with a Dog 86 once that had the name FLOATS Moldels, but that as much as I know.
