Think late 50's or more likely early 60's on that Testors kit, was pretty young the first time I built it and it was motorized back then

I can get you some pictures of the box if you would like. If you want a picture of the completed model, you'll have to wait awhile...Wink [;)]

Thanks for the heads up on the Cobra detail set, I'll be looking for that.

That's right, deffinately 1/32.  The kit dates back to the late 60' or early 70s so expect a few fit problems, especially where the bottom of the canopy meets the floor.  Cobra still sells their detail set for this flying nightmare and after I get a couple other kits finished, I'm going to build another one that I flew on.

I wish we had one down here.  Can you get a couple pictures of that one?

I just recently bought the Testors re-issue at the air museum in Warner-Robbins. The label on the box says it's 1/48 but there is no way it's a 1/48 kit. It must be 1/32, so if you see a kit like that, the scale listed on the box is incorrect.

  Aurora showed a "HUK 'Egg Beater' " in its catalogues of the mid-fifties and sixties. It retailed for the whopping sum of 69 cents (US). Not a lot until I consider the fact that my Dad was making 90 cents an hour.

   The box art showed either a Navy or Marine version in the gloss sea blue finish of the period. I know I must have had the kit, because I bought every kit I could get my hands on in those days. Thank God for the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Pomeroy, the last house on my paper route! They were good for one kit a week in tips.

Don't mean nothin'

Don't remember Aurora doing it in 1/48th scale, are you thinking of the old Hawk kit in 1/32nd scale currently being issued by Testors

Mack 2 models make one in 1/72nd scale.  Nice little kit but will take some work to make it right. Clear pieces leave much to be desired.  Vac-u-forms might help.  The other is I think old Aroura 1/48?  I haven't seen this one in ages. Late nite and brain fade says there might be one more out there.  I have built the Mach2 kit I made some additions to it. I here on the site. look under air5 in the search.  Good luck and hope to see a fresh HH-43 here soon.
