Anyone ever have this set?: http://www.cahood.com/M4071.htm
It was a set of snap-together wings, tails, fuselages, tails, and
what-not that you could assemble into a whole slew of aircraft designs.

Seen it many times on ePay, usually for lots less than $125.00. Was
made by Pyro back in the 1950s, along with Design-a-sets for cars and
for buildings.

Saw an incomplete set once. The owner was trying to find the missing
pieces. The parts I saw were not particularly detailed. I guess that
would have defeated the point of the set.

I also saw a partial set some years ago.(I'm assuming it was the same
set).I'd call it more toy then model.

One-half step above toy would be a accurate description.
It was about the only time anyone ever gave me a model kit as a gift I'd
never knew existed.
Still if a kid had one of those sets, some sort of a homemade wind
tunnel, and modeling clay to ballast the things properly, you'd have the
beginnings of a top-notch science fair project.
