| I would classify these as
poor flying scale models. I built
two of the Hellcats in the early fifties. On rubber power and the kit prop they could just maintain level flight for a few seconds, but they looked cool doing it. My first one I painted in Dark Blue dope and used the decals. I thought this was the problem, but the second one I did not paint and it did not fly any better. I wish I would have bought the whole set in spades as they are very valuable now. The F-84 balsa parts sheet is taped together for viewing. It will not fit in the box that way and was split at the factory before packing in the box. The F-86 had two small sheets that fit in the box. |

| This
Speedee Bilt kit is different from the ones I built. This
is not a flying model. It is a display model that is built like a Speedee Bilt kit. It contains plastic and balsa wood parts. Rather than solid wood fuselage and wings, like the Superkits, the fuselage is built up from formers and the wing is in two halves; top and bottom with a spar. |
