I think the record eBay price for this kit was over $400! One of my kits was acquired for $39 at a local Ace Hardware maybe 20 years ago.

The market is never the same, Especially after it sells ( The Collector got it ! ). They come n go. It’s possible it was mine, as I sold a Centuri one in the 1960s box for $400 once at auction. I have one now but in the 70s white box. The black paint isn’t the most fun thing to do. I left the original paper Apollo wrap on my 1/70 Estes one as I wanted it to be as "Estes original " as possible. I’m not Always a super scale buff…. A lil of both, sometimes
