Well, there's a thing! I didn't know that Frog and Revell made Rotodynes as well!

I'm with Enzo, I'd never heard or seen that Revell and Frog released them. Were they 1/72nd? Knowing Revell from that era I suspect box scale? Or was it a repop of Frog's kit? Interesting=85

The Revell one was one of their more ambious efforts, as it had the left side of the fuselage pop of and a complete interior. The kit is listed as H-185 and in 1/78 scale with a release date of 1961. (Gee, I love the Schiffer model company histories!)

I think there are some re-pops out there but couldn't find the info.

One of my local friends provided many of the Revell models pictured in the Revell book. I think he lacks the nucear reactor model but most of the obscure items reside in his collection.
