is supposed to be a lot more accurate to the model used in the movie than either the old Aurora or Airfix kits. The model is available in stores now. The model doesn't have the Pan-Am decals included, but you can get those and some alternate ones (TWA, USAA, NASA, USAF, and Air Force One) here:

After she does, will she hold a yard sale to fund her legal defense, if so where do you live?

I remember buying mine, not sure what the price was, $2 if that. Rarely was anything over $3 and that included the Revell ships.

Young Modelers Club? They sent models once a month, IIRC. Some were Monogram, some Aurora and a few Revell.
