This is about a vinatge Revell kit from the 50's/60's. Now I wish that saved all my model catalogs from 1962/63 when I started buying them to the late 70's. Oh well..... Actually the more that I think about this one kit, the more that I cannot stop thinking about it.
I already asked this question in the "Hello Forum", and it was suggested that I ask it again in the "Armor" and "Space" forums because, ".....that's where the guys who know this stuff hang out!" So here goes.....
I remember the Revell catalog of the early 1960's (I'm 56) advertised an Army missile carrier, relatively large, with a Redstone or Corporal missile on a retractable launch ramp. The driver sat in an enclosed cab off to one side of the missile. There was an assembled model displayed in the local hobby store and I remember a kid at school who brought an assembled model to school for display. I think that it retailed for the then unheard of price of $4.98 when most everything else retailed for about $1.98 to $2.98. (The Revell Cutty Sark Clipper sold for $29.98, a king's ransom of the day.) The Redstone, Corporal, and Honest John missile models by Revell that I have reviewed pictures of including box art on the web do not match what I'm speaking of here.
Any help will be appreciated.
Respectfully,
Marion Pavan
