Old model: What was it?

Modeling Subjects Aircraft
1

I’m racking my brain trying to think of what it was called. I had it when I was a kid. It was an aircraft that looked like one of the egg planes. The difference was that had batteries and was on a wire stand. When you turned it on, the prop spun and the wings flapped…yes, I said FLAPPED!

I remember it being snap together and was molded in grey plastic. That’s all I remember. I’d love to find one now that I’m older. [:D]

Monogram’s Flap Jack, perhaps?


I never had one, but it looks like fun!

Yep! That’s it! I bet those things are hard to find.

I haven’t checked, but wouldn’t e-Bay be a good place to start looking? From what I’ve heard, virtually anything under the sun can be had there!

I just did a quick search on e-Bay. No luck. I’ll keep my eyes open for it though.

Thanks J-Hulk. [:D]

I think my favorite part of this model is what appears to be a blown V-8 engine!

OUCH! I remember doing that one when I was a kid.I think I’ve been at this too long.I get almost nostalgic and depressed at the same time seeing a kit being redone as a classic reissue and remembering building it as a kid and destroying it .On the brighter side,It does give me a chance to improve on my first attempt and replace some of the kits that have died over the years and moves.
