@gentharris I just found one today at a thrift store that still has the plastic bags unopened, and all the parts and instructions are in great condition.

I got it for $5.95.

I'm giving it to my engineering teacher as a christmas gift due to the fact of how awesome he is, and he has an extreme interest in aviation. I started looking up how much it was worth after I wrapped it. Even though I now know that this thing is worth over $500, I'm still going to give it to him.

He deserves it.

The company that originally made these models was called Renwal, in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Later Revell took over the moulding tools and continued making these kits until as late as the early 1980s in their "History Makers" series. You won't find these model kits in hobby stores anymore, you'll have to search for them second-hand. Search key words: Renwal, visible, Revell, history, makers or any combination of these words. Good luck
