Just got mine today. Kudos to Don Stauffer for getting "Old 16" in the magazine. Nice profile on Cookie and Super Al's grail is on the last page. Wonder if R-M still have the moulds for those? I'd probably buy a couple sets if they ever re-released them.

My grail? What is it? I haven't gotten my copy yet.
The 1/240th Air Force set from Monogram. I sure wanted one of those when I was a kid but I never saw any until about 7 years ago. That was just a box with some pieces inside.

I've got one of those. I've even drawn the artwork for a replacement decal sheet, and I'm working on a totally new sheet with full squadron markings, etc for each a/c. :)
via email.
Part of the thrust of the article was that kids probably stayed away because of all the painting and decalling involved. I'd kind of like the set to be re-released but I'll bet the moulds were scrapped long ago.

Yeah, if they were still around that probably would have been an SSP release. :(
