When I was a little boy, my dad and I used to make model airplanes froma balsa wood kit and tissue papper. We sprayed some kind of coating?? on it to seal it, It had a propeller on a rubber band.

Are they still being made?

Link to Guillow's homepage.
Johhny, You check Hobby Lobby. IIRC they carry a few Guillows kits.
