Didn't Renwal make that kit back in the 50's?  I may have built that.

How'd I get to be this old?

The description says it's an ex Renwal mold.

I remember one of those from back about 1958 or so.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

If I recall, that kit cost somewhere around $5.98 in 1958.  That was also the price of a Revell U.S.S. Forrestal kit.  Most kits cost $0.98 US.

I sure wish kits cost that now.
