Revell Whip-Fly US Navy F8U-1 Crusader - (F8U1), 1/67, H154-98
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
$62
1963 hardbox issue of the rare 'Whip Fly' series. the artwork for this series was 'action' photos by Tom Kelly. Whip-Fly kits feature the 1950s 'S' issue aircraft model with nose ballast, a metal control ring, 12 feet of control line and a control handle. Never started and the parts and all paperwork are still in the internal factory sealed bags. Literally all of the contents are factory sealed. The short-lived Whip-Fly series seemed like a good idea...at first. It was quickly discontinued when Revell discovered that heavily weighted models with sharply pointed noses traveling at 50 or 60 MPH might not be safe.
