Now I have finished my Flying Banana and Komet this is going to be my next project:
This was first tooled in 1955 but I have the last reboxing from 1994:
This explains why the decals look so nice:
Here are the sprues:
Note that the kit also includes a dinky little tractor.
The clear parts look quite good:
I won't be using the stand though.
The instructions are a nostalgic reproduction of the originals:
The mouldings helpfully (not) feature raised areas to aid decal placement:
All the panel lines are raised of course so a big part of this build will be all the rescribing required. Considering the age of the tooling, the detail and quality of the mouldings look to be pretty good though.
In line with Revell's practice at the time this is made to "box scale" which turns out to be 1/65th. It looks like russ c has build this but I don't think anyone has posted a WIP on this, so let's build.
