I remember always wanting that kit back in the 70's. It wasn't until the early 2000's that I finally got one and I did make the landing gear work too when I built mine! It had the same box art too.

A few pics of my old shelves in the garage from 3 houses ago. Most of these did not survive. Pics would have been from late 90's or so

Always fun to look at the stuff we did in the wayback. All the models I did before 1964 never got recorded in photos and my mother tossed them all when I was in basic training and college.

Wow John! What an amazing set up you had! I love it! And what a trophy case of awards! You rock man!

Johnny, I remember seeing that pic from before. I love it! I also built an F-16XL and still have it...

John, that's too bad they got tossed. I'm so thankful that when I moved out, my mom asked me if I still wanted them all. When I told her yes, she packed them all up and brought them down to me.
