Your favorite Old Revell USA 1/72 kits

Oh Boy !

Yer gonna git tired of me . You do remember the Flak Bait huh ? I went to the old Smithsonian Castle , Before a lot got moved to Udvar - Hazy . The Flak Bait nose and cockpit was there . What a tight space that was ! ! T.B.

I built two of these at once and gave the second to a friend.

No, it was a 1/72 scale kit. I still have one that came with optional nose and wing tips to make the Navy version or Air Force version. This is a photo of the original kit I built way back when.

Hey , a floaty thingy with wings ! Totally cool . T.B.

Ok;

I now remember the box art .This was indeed the plane you describe . Went to the stash and sho ’ nuff I have one of those too . T.B.

When I was a kid, I put the Navy wingtips on the Air Force long nosed airframe to make a FB-111 using that kit. Add some scratch built SRAMs and Microscale Decals and boom.

Now that I think of it, that was probably my favorite Revell 1/72 kit. I converted another into an EF-111, and made two strait OOB. One as the Navy B, and another as an Air Force A.

Not sure if it was 1/72nd scale or not, but I liked the Bell X-5 (er Messerschmit 1011)

The X-5, like the AD-6 was 1/40 scale.

Yeah, it was that odd scale they used for their military vehicle line. Better than box scale though.
