p.s. I think he had a case or 2. This thing is as new as can be.

Hmmm. That guy is in Oak Creek a suburb here in Milwaukee. I could drive to his house in 10 minutes to pick one up.

Default (5) R2D2s

Hopefully the pictures will be attached, first time trying to attach pictures
I saw these on Ebay after Christmas and decided to bid on them and got them for $48 including shipping. There are 5 and all the parts are there plus instructions and face cards. The tubes have some wear and are a bit out of round but nothing that would prevent them from being built.

A small amount of nose weight will solve that problem but D21 is a good solution too. I just hate limitations.

The body tube for the R2D2 is the Mars Lander body tube.

Is it just me, or does this seem like it would be a great kit for Semroc to reproduce?

Is that the BT-60 Saturn V??

Why would Semroc need to reproduce it?? Dr. Zooch already has, for years... you can get them from Apogee and others right now...

Later! OL J R
