                        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

                        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.
