1/54 Solido Nord Griffon II - Bagged Kit - No Box

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: No Box

Bagged kit - Box is not included and is shown for reference only. Very rare kit of the unusual Mach 2+ ramjet/turbojet design. Solido produced a small line of plastic kits in the early 1960s but by 1967 all production ended. Very cleanly molded and large 1/54 scale kit in sliver, black, clear and red plastic. Decals and instructions are excellent. NOTE: the kit has minor assembly. The two engine 1/2s have been neatly assembled. Quality of assembly is excellent with no gaps and no glue showing. There is no other assembly. The kit is missing the stand and red missile - otherwise it is complete with all other parts, decals and instructions. Shipping insurance is required with this kit. The Griffon was dual propulsion like the Leduc 022; a turbojet was used for takeoff and got the airplane to speed, where the ramjet took over. The Griffon performed well, reaching a top speed of Mach 2.19 in 1958. However, there were difficulties with the ramjet design. The program was canceled in favor of the Mirage family of fighters by Dassault.
