Below is a description of the kit:

Injection molded airframe and clear parts; features cockpit and cabin interior, separately molded cabin door, subtle 'fabric-over-frame' effect and optional parts to build 1 of 3 versions. Also includes resin parts (wheels, propeller hubs, exhaust stacks, oleo scissors, tailwheel fork, spinners and your choice of highly detailed Lycoming or Jacobs radial engines) plus photo-etch parts (including extensive cabin details, ignition wires, fine exterior enhancements, color seatbelts and color instrument panels - both military and civilian).

Hi Dave Fantastic! Now I REALLY want one! I wondered what the Sky King reference was about. I love the "Reach for Nabisco..." ads! All the best Rowan

Sky King, boy does THAT bring back memories. I wonder how many commercial and military pilots got the urge for flight from that series. I got that Squadron catalog yesterday and I'm really tempted to add another "wingy thingy" to the stash.
