Anyone remember what company put out kits that you could build with combat damage.  I saw them at the five and dime when I was abaout 12.  I think there were 3 or 4 kits.  The one I remember best was an F-100 Super Sabre.  I never did buy any.

Those were IMC kits, weren't they? I want to say Lindberg reissued some of them after IMC's demise, but I could be wrong.

I remember those (Barely). I do know I built a lot of them.

I remember those too. They gave you alternate parts to build your model as damaged or undamaged. Built the F-100 when I was about 12.

There are a few listed on Evil-Bay at the moment, though you might have to go digging to find them. Stumbled across one or two, then lost the page Sign - Oops [#oops]

A 1/25 Hummel and a 1/25 King Tiger.  I cant remember the manufacturer, but it was a black day when mum backed over the Hummel in her car (mental note to self as a 11 year old - no more field testing)  It was 30 years ago and I remember it like yesterday.

I'm stabbing here, but might it be Bandai?
