I picked up this little “air jeep” kit and I was wondering if anyone knew of any sites with references to this thing. Looks rather neat with a small cockpit and four propellors at each corner.
US Army tested two (serials 58-5508 and 5509) I don’t know of any sites but you might try the Army Aviation Museum at Ft. Rucker and the Transportation Museum at Ft Eustis for photo’s, etc. I only have one photo in a book.

Rob,
Found a couple of photos:
Here’s a web site I found on google:

Not much out there. Hope those help. Looks like an interresting craft to build. I have only seen the Piasecki Flying Jeep. Didn’t know this one even existed.
Those are the same photos I found via google. This is the kit I got:

Pretty good resin molding.
