Revell 1/54 Grumman F9F-8 Cougar  Whip-Fly - (F9F8), H151-98 plastic model kit

1/54 H151-98 Revell Grumman F9F-8 Cougar Whip-Fly - (F9F8)

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: NM

1960 issue of the rare 'Whip Fly' series. The box top is in exceptional investment-grade 'near mint' condition. The hardbox artwork for this series was 'action' photos by Tom Kelly. Whip-Fly kits contain the aircraft model with nose ballast, a metal control ring, 12 feet of control line and a control handle so that you could spin the aircraft around in circles. Molded in gloss dark blue and clear. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. The complete Whip-Fly series included the H151 F9F-8 Cougar, H152 F-84F, H153 F-89D Scorpion, H154 F8U-1 Crusader, H155 F-39 Airacobra and H156 F-101A Voodoo, Canberra, F-106 and Yak-25 Flashlight. The Whip-Fly series seemed like a good idea...at first. Revell quickly realized that spinning heavily-ballasted, sharp objects at dizzying speeds near groups of children was not the best idea. The series was quickly discontinued.
