JackMan Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Does anyone know what is the worth of this kit? And does any of you have one for sale? TIA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
muswp1 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) For a fantasy plane, it's ok. It's not well detailed (the exhausts, wheel wells, and cockpit (which wasn't really visible anyway even with the canopies open) need help) and it is a huge kit. I built one many years ago and it turned out ok. I remember the fuselage seams really needed reinforcing. The fuselage was molded in 3 segments due to it's size and the middle one needed help staying attached to the front and rear segments. I wouldn't pay more than $25-30 for it, but the size of the box is going to make it expensive to ship. Just my two cents... Edited January 6, 2009 by muswp1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JackMan Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 http://www.usaf-sig.org/Order%20Of%20Battl...0St%20Clair.htm Wow! Beautiful work there, Chris! Btw, someone on another board is asking for $65 for this kit. I'd really like to have it but $65 is a bit too much for me. And that's not including shipping from Canada to Asia. Is the kit very rare? An Ebay search showed nothing :P Any idea if Testors might re-issue the kit? I mean Accurate Miniatures just re-issued the old 1/72 Monogram F-4C/D with a spanking new decal sheet. Any news on the grapevine about the SR-75? I really like the shape of the Penetrator. Looks a lot like something you might see in the Firefox movie or a Tom Clancy book. Would have been great if they had a scene with both the Firefox & the Penetrator :wub: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JackMan Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Update: SCORE!!! Seconds after I posted above, I just searched Ebay on a whim and saw one. And, it had a "Buy it now option". No need to worry about E-bay snipers. I jumped on it! UNBELIEVABLE!! The box looks worthless & shredded but the parts are all still in the bag. Only $21.99. What's more, shipping is very reasonable for a kit that large. WOO HOO!! Man, I love the internet! :wub: :P Doesn't look as if it has the piggybacked XR-7 but as Chris wrote on his build report, "you can’t have everything!". Heh! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobrahistorian Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 The XR-7 kit is separate from the SR-75 kit. I'd love to see that thing in 48th! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UKPonchoMan Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 The XR-7 kit is separate from the SR-75 kit. I'd love to see that thing in 48th! I think some releases of the kit came with the XR-7, some without... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F4DPhantomII Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Well I thought I had one coming from ebay auction now seller says my money order never arrived and I am not sending another.So i may have to find another SR-71! Damn! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sweaty Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) Just this second bought one on ebay and i can collect it so no postage with the XR-7 as well Another big'n for the stash, or maybe i will start it when i get it ;) Built one when they fris came out years ago but it looked crap, (no skills then to speak of) Hopefully can do it some justice this time round :D Edited January 8, 2009 by sweaty Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Although, as an electric guitar, he said the size was perfect. Edited January 14, 2009 by Stratospheremodels Quote Link to post Share on other sites
