Nice review/build. Love these vintage kits of rockets, missiles, etc.. I've got this one in my stash and will be built soon. Keep having fun Brother. Bill
I remember reading that this was one of Revells best-selling kits of the ‘50s...at the time missiles and rockets were all over the news, so this seeded the interest. Short time later missiles interest faded and Revell did not sell many of any of the missile kits. They disappeared from the Revell catalog for many years and became collectibles, especially the ones that were never reissued such as the X-17, Talos, Little John and Dart, and perhaps the rarest Revell missile being the Terrier. Arguably the rarest missile kits would be Hawk’s Matador with launcher truck plus Hellers Parca and Veronique missile kits. The last two I have never seen, even on Ebay!
THANK YOU, I've lost the instructions for this kit
Brian, Glad I could help! PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug

EH, That's a great narration and I have to admit I didn't know that Heller had released those missile kits! -Doug
