Collectibles,
2004 release. Lovely, lovely. More Matchbox, please. The one I really
wanted was the Bell X-1 (no, in fact, I'll take two!). Alas, not too
be...
The cowling on this model is molded in yellow plastic, and puts me
in mind of the old Aurora Zero, which was also molded in yellow, and
which had a very heavy one-piece cowling. I've always considered that
Aurora-created cowling a work of art (circa 1952, around the time
I bought my first of many)! |
