Atomic/Nuclear reactor

Wow!!!  Dont think I'll ever be buying much less building that kit

Thanks for the info anyway. I've wondered for a long time if I really saw it or just imagined such a thing.

I had a similar memory of a kit that i loved as a child, but could NOT find anywhere. Ilooked on the net, but not remembering the name of the thing.  Anyway I was cruising through the Fantastic-Plastic website one night and found it! It was one of the last Aurora subjects, called  the Ragnarok, a nuke powered anti UFO vehicle that carried a parasite fighter in its tail to prevent the onset of maruading alien invasion fleets.

It was a great kit, sleek and pointy, with a cool yellow disk in the top of the fueselage.

here is a link to it, check out the rest of the site as well, its a great trip through memory lane!

At that price, I'll take two!

Good luck even finding one on eBay. There are plenty of rare or vintage kits that appeared for a relatively brief moment in time that have never been heard from again.

I seem to recall my local Western Auto car parts store had an old kit on the shelf of the AMT Civil War ballon Intrepid when I was a kid. I've seen it for sale only once on eBay and it went for a lot of money.

Would this be a fully functioning nuclear power plant? Wonder if they'd ship it to a PO Box?

Is that the kit you were talking about?

Looks very cool.  I wonder if Revell will reissue it.  They've been reissuing some vintage kits like that lately.

Yes Yann Solo that is it.

Where did you get the pic?
