Plastic kits of antique pistols
Posted by TB6088 on Friday, January 19, 2007 11:24 PM

When I was a kid (about 4 decades ago) I recall getting as gifts some plastic model kits of antique pistols.  I recall a 17th-18th century "pirate" pistol, an early Colt six shooter of some kind, and I think a derringer.  As I recall, they were pretty much full size.  Is anything like that made today?  Does anyone else remember these old kits?  If so, do you remember any specifics?  Maybe I could find them on E-Bay if there is no current equivalent.  Thanks,

TomB

I sure do remember them - they were made by Revell.  I built the Colt .36 Navy revolver once - made a total mess of it.  I got another kit of the same handgun later on, intending to do a better job.  It still sits in my stash to this day.

You can find them on eBay, but they aren't cheap:

Those are the only 3 available n the Bay right now - all from the same seller.

Pyro also made a series of 1/1 scale pistols. They may also be found on eBay.
