Picked up the old Revell 1/96 Apollo-Soyuz kit...
J-Hulk does "real space," too!
Or at least he
buys it, anyway.

I found the old 1975 release of Revell's 1/96 Apollo-Soyuz kit in an LHS that specializes in old stuff, and picked it up for about $25 USD. I have no idea what this kit goes for these days, or if it's a collector's item, but I just had to grab it out of sheer nostalgia! I built that kit exactly 30 years ago, and I intend to build it again.
They had two versions of the kit there: the original Revell packaging, and the Japanese import version from Takara. Both feature basically the same boxes, with the Takara package having smaller original art and Revell logos, with everything printed in Japanese and the Takara logos added.
They were both the same price, so I went the the ol' familiar Revell boxing from my youth.
Any comments or memories on this old kit? As I recall, it goes together easily...but that was 30 years ago, back when I didn't give a flyin' hoot about parting lines, seams, etc., etc.
