Shen Shin Flying Gliders - Pictures from Ebay

Quite a while ago I found a set of 12 Shen Shin Flying Gliders for sale on E-bay.  I believe they were located in Argentina.  The seller wanted way too much and shipping would have been really really expensive as well, so I didn't buy them.  I saved copies of the pictures because of how detailed the art was on the packaging and because I have never seen them for sale like this in plastic bags before.  I'll keep looking for these gliders on E-bay and perhaps someday I'll be able to buy one of the #7 Lockheed or Lightning gliders.  It is also interesting to see how the color schemes of the German gliders have changed.  I assume this is what they originally looked like.



This glider has a much different color scheme than the Power Prop Flying Gliders #1 Focke Wulf 190-A4
I own a single Shen Shin Flying Glider which is the #2 Mitsubishi Zero.



This Hurricane is purple in color like the Hurricane in my original collection.
My "Holy Grail" of gliders
This glider has a much different color scheme than the Power Prop Flying Gliders #8 Focke Wulf TA 152H.
For some reason the horizontal stabilizer / elevator is not blue.
It was Eric that showed me that the older Tomahawks all appear to have Japanese markings.

Shen Shin Glider - #2 Mitsubishi Zero

I found this glider recently on E-bay.  I have never seen one with this sort of packaging before.  I have also never seen a package with the #7 Lockheed or Lightning as a red plane.  I am curious what that red plane actually is.  You can see that the detail on this glider is very nice which tells me that it must be a pretty old one.  I'll keep a look out for more of this set.
