I just did a search on Fleabay, and was surprised how little showed up.  I thought they sold everything!

That being said, one man’s dust collector is another man’s treasure.  I’ll pull out my dusty Disney toy and check it‘s condition tonight.

Drew,

PM me and we can work something out.

Hi Mate 

Wow that would be great.    Im live in Sydney Australia which im not sure what postage would be like to here.   

Living in Australia makes it so hard to find things.  

Cheers

Drew,

I have the Disney toy. It’s not too bad actually, the only thing I’d change are the props, which  are molded from a soft plastic. The toy looks easy enough to detail and repaint.  Where do you live?  I’d be willing to send it to you for the cost of postage.

I think there was an article in FSM where somebody took a Disney gift shop toy and detailed it to appear like the one in the movie.  You might try that route if you can't find the model you are looking for.  Disney might have shut it down due to copyright and licensing issues.

Not sure if Black Sun is even still producing kits. It was probably a one man operation.

I'd suggest this. If you find it, it will be a collector's item that cost $ 125 eleven years ago when new.

It was sold by a small company called Starship Modeller. Their phone number is at the bottom of the instruction sheet, which you can download from Scalemates. If they are still open, you might call them.

If you were still interested in the subject, a decent model could be scratchbuilt using the drawings in the instructions. Buy an AR 234 or HO-229 kit on eBay (they are cheap) for the decals, cockpit, landing gear, guns etc.

Other articles suggest that there's a toy of the same, but I couldn't find one online.
