Ralph,

 

Nice work! I don't see these built so much these days.

 

 

Cheers, Tom

Thanks Tom.

I almost bought the Fly kit but then saw this on eBay! The price was greatly attractive over the Fly kit.

The Revell kit has an engine and identical riveting detail of the Fly kit!

Very nice, Ralph!

[Beychevelle]

Lovely!

 

Never seen this kit before....and I'm vintage also! 

[RalphSarc]

Thanks for the kind comments.

Not sure when Revell halted production of the lit however this one was stamped 1972 and was boxed as a Smithsonian Classic!

It really is a great kit with loots of possibilities. It's a shame that Revell doesn't re-release it.

It is however almost identical to the fly mold with the exception that the Revell has an engine!

I'd highly recommend that if you can find one on eBay that you buy it and enjoy the build!

Nice one Ralph!

That surface detail sure looks a lot like the new Fly kit!

[RalphSarc]

Jeroen I had the chance to compare the two kits side by side and similarities are remarkable!!!

The wings and fuselage are exactly the same right down to the rivets.

The Revell comes with an engine and tub cockpit where  the Fly has no engine and a build up tubular cockpit!
