I just had the Squadron Dec.09 supplement catalog delivered in the mail. This item takes front page. Its interesting that the original two machines were built (in 1965) by Doug Bianchi (died 1977) in the UK from Gypsy Moths and still exist in private hands. I wonder if the lozenge decals are included in the kit?

The original movie aircraft now resides in New Zealand in Peter Jackson's collection. It has been repainted in a more authentic finish and flies regularly at airshows here.
