Revell?  Or Airfix?

Well, there's a thing!  I didn't know that Frog and Revell made Rotodynes as
well!

I'm with Enzo, I'd never heard or seen that Revell and Frog released
them. Were they 1/72nd? Knowing Revell from that era I suspect box
scale? Or was it a repop of Frog's kit?
 Interesting…

The Revell one was one of their more ambious efforts, as it had the
left side of the fuselage pop of and a complete interior. The kit is
listed as H-185 and in 1/78 scale with a release date of 1961. (Gee, I
love the Schiffer model company histories!)

I think there are some re-pops out there but couldn't find the info.

I've seen a model exhibit which matches that description but assumed it was
a one off for demonstration purposes. The picture was in an old Aeromodeller
Annual. It had certainly disappeared from the UK catalogue by the late
1960's.

One of my local friends provided many of the Revell models pictured in
the Revell book.  I think he lacks the nucear reactor model but most of
the obscure items reside in his collection.
