Here are a couple of shots of my Calypso.

Fantastic! Might try one of those myself. What scale is it? A revell kit, you say?
Looks Great. The Revell kits are getting hard to find. Just one word of advice: Keep your cat away from it, if you have a cat. Mine chewed the crane off!!
Very cool!
A Cat ruined a model that I built ONCE!..he went well with Dr. Pepper and some jelly beans…ffffff [:p]
I have had a dog chew up models but never a cat, that’s a strange cat.
Sorry I dont know the scale but it’s about 16" long, they come up at auction on Ebay quite a bit, that’s where I got mine the box was trashed and there were no instructions so I got it cheap, we don’t need no stinking instructions.
He was a strange cat! But, hey, what else is new? I’m still looking on Ebay and some other places.
Shopping ebay for a cat? Well, I’m sure you’ll find one.[:D][:D]
I never have built that model and wish to someday, when I no longer have cats in the house. (Sorry, no more cat jokes, I promise)
Has anybody read the present state of the Calypso? I heard last that it was rusting away in France awaiting funds to be renovated into a museum.
There is a Calypso kit on Ebay here.

Nice looking model master.
