New Addition: Little Toni

With the shine on this finish, it is hard to believe that this model was built over 50 years ago. It isn’t hard to believe, though, that Ted Prasol won the Testors Best Finish Award for this model in 1965.

A scale version of a Cosmic Wind Little Toni, the Control Line model (which does fly) features rudder and ailerons that move when the appropriate cockpit control is touched. Thanks to Robert Buenzly, who pulled this from his collection to donate to the museum.

The Litte Toni CL Scale model has an accurate detailed cockpit that includes gauges, a working yoke and a harness on the pilot's seat.
