None that I know of but it should up Anigrand's alley.

anigrand? does not compute.
The only kit I'm aware of was a 1/72 vacform done by O'Neill many years ago.
These were really, really basic (crude?) kits and production numbers for each kit were usually in the single digits. They were never, so far as I know, offered for sale - Ray O'Neill distributed 'em through trades.
OTOH, "Plastic Aircraft Kits of the Twentieth Century" lists a total of
337(!) different vacform kits produced by him. The good news is it's a pretty good bet that just about -any- weird aircraft was kitted by O'Neill at one time or another. The bad news is that they're basically made of unobtainium.Cheers,
IIRC, a Ukrainian resin manufacturer.

The Oregon historical society sells plans for many horse-drawn vehicles including Conestoga wagon. Not a steel one, but maybe close enough?
Actually a Hong Kong manufacturer. His site is to be found at:

Just a matter of finding the right engine...
And the correct manufacturer spelling is Budd, 2 d s.

I'm glad you cleared that up. I thought it was a model of the Budweiser beer wagon. :-)
Check it out.

have several kits and I am impressed. Curt
me too. they look really good and the prices are not mind numbingly high. i see more luft 46'ers in my future. the guy really seems to have his casting s*it together.
They do look nice. If I still had the whole collection I see a bunch of 'gap-fillers' that I'd want. F-90s, F-93s, F-88s, XF-84Hs - WOW! As it is, I'd sure like to get the three Soviet fighter prototypes that come with the M-50 but they aren't listed singly. An XB-46 in 1/144th would be terrific too.
