Sold
Hard to find. Excellent kit with great extras. Has all recessed panel line detail. Features all the missiles listed and 5 extra clear display stands for each. Has decals for two different aircraft in camo or SAC Anti-Nuclear Flash white and silver. The Skybolt was a plan to deliver an ALBM (Air Launched Ballistic Missile) from a B-52 to greatly enhance it's survivability. Skybolt failed 5 of 6 initial tests, but finally was successful. However, the program was canceled due to the availability of the Polaris SLBM. Plans to equip the RAF Vulcan with Skybolt fell through and left with British with no modern nuclear force, causing them to adapt the Polaris SLBM and passing strategic nuclear capability from the RAF to the RN. AGM-28 Hound Dog was a sleek design to help B-52 penetrate thick SAM defenses. Hound Dog could use it's engines to help the B-52 during take off and then could be refueled from the B-52's tanks. This was an important point as the B-52 carried 2 of these missiles at 5 tons each. Hound Dog had a range of 200 to 500 miles (depending on launch height) at Mach 2.0 and an accuracy of one mile at those ranges. The warhead was 4 megatons. SRAM was a nuclear-armed short range missile carried in quantity of 20. SRAM was designed to blast holes in defenses in front of the B-52 and for the final target. Quail was a decoy that would mimic the B-52 with radar reflectors, infrared, radar repeaters and chaff decoys. Quail did reach operational status and operated on some Hound Dog-equipped B-52s.

Revell Walt Disney's Perri Squirrel (From the Movie), 1/1, H1900-198
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++
Sold
This 1957 "S" kit was the first of Revell's very limited line of animals. Perri was the real squirrel who starred in the Disney full length 'True Life Fantasy Film' named for the animal. The original inspiration for the film came from a book by Felix Salten, the author Bambi. It took Disney cameramen over three years to film Perri in her natural home in the heart of a western mountain wilderness. Without interrupting or disturbing the wild free state, they recorded the thrill and drama of real life in the forest. The film was popular and seen by millions. The model is a life sized representation of Perri, made directly from film stills. The kit features dark brown body parts, clear green-tinted eyes, whisker material, the correct "Revell" marked paint brush, flocking in three realistic colors, a flock funnel and bottle, and a glass bottle of Revell "S" cement that is still good! The kit has not been started and is complete with all parts, flock tools and cement. However, the eyes have been cut from the instructions (these are placed on the inside of the green tinted lenses). These could be easily made.
