I have that kit, I recieved it from a fellow on another forum, it has been started. If anyone is interested, I may be willing to make a trade for it.

Is that the same kit as Revells? I'm working on Revells. Got custom decals for it done by Speedway decals.

Lots of little bitty plastic thingys. I think they are supposed to be used somehow.

Can't find it now, but seems like I saw that Revell did a rebox of this one. It is from the early 60s, maybe 1962? Looks like a decent kit at a glance. Even the rotor blades are straight.

According to Scalemates...Testors reboxed it in 1973 and Italaeri in 1979
