Some of everything! Academy's "History of Transportation"

[Faust]

Well, can you believe it? It’s been 10 years of the Sprue Lagoon already! It was on Remembrance Day in 2012 that I first sent my site live; I really didn’t know how it was going to go or what I wanted to do with it, exactly. Since then, I’ve tried to steer it towards showcasing my own builds, as well as bringing you guys (and gals) out there in the world a look at some interesting, and maybe somewhat offbeat, models.

 

I like to do the stuff that not everybody’s going to cover, and that usually means weird, old or both!

 

To celebrate my 10th anniversary, I thought I’d pull a fairly recent, but definitely odd, acquisition out of the stash. The signpost to mark my first decade is something I can find almost nothing on the internet about, and that’s the Academy “History of Transportation” miniature kit giftset! If you ever wanted a Whitman’s Sampler” of mini-kits, then this is definitely going to be your bag! And, if you think it isn’t your thing, check it out anyway, you might be surprised!

 

Have I ever let you down?

In the early 1970s, I built the 707, I think I got it in a cereal box.

I see on Scalemates that they (or someone) did a DHC Beaver.

I would like one of those. I believe they were sold by Aurora.

 

At the same time, other firms made similar small, easy to build, kits...some were marketed by Entex in the U.S.

I have a small Huey and  OH-58 in my unbuilt collection.

 

Various firms offered cars very similar to the Model T kit in this collection. A Mercer Raceabout Sports car was sold by Entex.

So which one is "in progress?" Are any being built in this thread?
