Wanted: Revell Visible Radial Engine

I know the kit you speak of. Originally produced by Renwal in the late 50's - early 60's timeframe. Revell purchased Renwal's molds in the mid 70's and produced a few of the kits. The P&W visible radial engine was produced in limited quantities in 1982 as part of the Revell's "History Makers" series. I saw an orginal Renwal kit go for $600+ on ebay a couple years back. The revell re-issue will go for about half that. Pretty rare in either case. One may pop up on ebay a couple times a year. Hope this info helps...

hi, thought this may be of interest - Revell ad for some the motors - (not the radial tho)

You got to be kidding me....unbuilt,complete kit from the 1980 something release?

hummmm,trade ya an ejection seat?

No, actually this is one of the old Renwal kit$. It was my Dad's and I don't think I could ever part with it. Not that I'd ever build the thing, but...sentimental value, y'know?

And I already have a seat kit from an F-14, so there's half my seat already. Where to get the rest... Hmmm....
