Need HELP Locating a model ....... Please
Posted by Dubau on Tuesday, April 20, 2010 4:52 PM

Hay all, I am looking for this kit and I read somewere that it was made some time ago.

It is from a 1979 TV Show " Salvage " Staring Andy Griffith.  " A junkyard owner builds a space ship from his scrap pile in order to retreive valuable parts left on the moon. "

I HOPE someone can help me find this kit.

Thanks all

Bud

I'm 99% sure that was a scratchbuilt entry at Wonderfest.

Not to disagree with Woody but I thought you could buy that kit either at CultTVMan or Federation Models...

something in the back of my brain is telling me that there was a resin version of the Vulture available from CultTVman

If you aren't having fun, you're doing it wrong! Build to please yourself and they will flame you every time!

I've got a 1/48th paper kit of the Vulture designed by Patrick York that is fairly detailed.

It can also be used as a basis for scratchbuilding a plastic version.

PM me if you want it.
