The Tradewind looks nice! My Dad bought me a "toy" one in 1960. I used to fill it with my matchbox diecast military vehicles and do beach assaults on my bedroom floor!

The Jupiter C and 105 where two of my favorites - Have one of each in my stash. Now I can actually get another and build it. The Jupiter C launch stand was modified to handle the redstone and mercury - would be an interesting variations, now maybe I can risk one in trying it.

I just wish they'd find the XSL and Space station kits and reissue them. Maybe with the renewed interest in going to the moon etc they'll do a space in the 50s series - we can hope.

who made the skylab kit?

"e> who made the skylab kit?

It wasn't skylab. Revell had a conceptual space station basically a cylunder - the ends and center remained fixed while the two segments between the center and ends rotated in opposite directions. There were utility vehicles such as a taxi and a supply rocket docked to ports around the center. Outer panels could be snapped off to reveal detailed interior rooms. It build up into a really nice display. But like the Moon Rocket XSL-1 and Nuclear power plant seemed to be off of the price demand curve for making a profit and was never re-released.

damn crs. i would swear i remember a skylab kit. the boxtop was a picture looking down at the solar array end.

If memory serves somebody did in fact make one. I could also swear I remember seeing one not too many years ago just as you describe. Grandpa John

i would maybe also swear revell.

Sometimes I just revile Revell.

I seem to recall an ad for one via "Marcos Miniatures" a bunch of years ago, but could easily be mistaken.....
