I had the Corgi of this car, like all of them got wrecked or disappeared.   What a fun subject, never knew there was a model of this.  Pulling up a chair......

I loved that movie and I've still got my original Dinky toy with all the figures and wings! 

Fortunately,  the car features heavily in the movie, so there's plenty of chances to check details.

I'll be watching your progress ? 

[GeeBee]

Looking forward to see what you do with this one, I was lucky as a young child to actually sit in GEN 11

[Ben Brown]

Thanks, Dann. Now I have that song stuck in my head! ?

LOL!!!!!....you're most welcome, bud!!!!, its in my head ALL the time!!! Its one of my all time favorite musicals!

Cool. I'll be watching!  I have one of those too.  Mine is  a badly started kit,  all the parts off trees in a warped box.  I found it at a Toledo show many years ago for $10.  I thought for sure it would be just a parts kit, but once I did inventory I found that it was missing one part... a gas cap!   I should build it.

[peteski]

I got a good laugh from the original price tag on the kit: less than $3!

Apart from less than stellar plating, and a couple VERY vague fitment instructions, this is a pretty freaking sweet kit! -thanks for following!!
