Looks suspiciously like the Taco model. If your wallet is about 4 inches (100 mm) wide then I'd guess that the ship model is about 50 inches (1250 mm) long. I pulled out a copy of the Taco kit and it says it is 53 inches (1350 mm) long. The clincher though is that the hull seams fall exactly where the Taco kit's do. I wonder if it is discoloring that makes it look old,. If the model has been under a fluorescent light for a while that would knock the colour from it. The tab and slot impression may well come from the way the ventilators are made - on the Taco kit they are just profile cut-outs - no 3d shaping. But the Taco kit is still an impressive model - the 'wow' factor from the length alone. With care, making your own ventilators and a couple of other things, you'd have a quite impressive model. I seem to recall that someone (was it on this list?) pointed out a couple of errors in the design) Even so, one day ..... Bob Pounds Canberra It was a bit difficult to make out too much behind the glass Bob, but yep...wow factor all right !!.
