Sky King's Cessna T-50 "Songbird"

**RickTNRebel** · #1 10-02-2011, 10:16 PM

I'm lookin for a Paper model of this Television Hero from my youth; Sky King's "Songbird" T-50. I know there are Plastic and Resin kits out there, but I'd really like to find one in Paper. Aircraft have been my professional life since I was 18 and I owe it all to that Saturday afternoon TV series from the 50s and early 60s...anyone got any leads?

I'll have to dig it up, but yes, one does exist.

Edit: There are at least two. Here's one: http://ecardmodels.com/product_info....oducts_id=1846

The other is from another source, and it's decent. I have it.

Used to watch "Sky King" every Saturday morning when I was a kid! Remeber seeing the Bobcat before he switched to a Cessena 310.

RyanShorts link looks like the better model of the two. I remember seeing an actual picture of it somewhere, it is a really nice model.

I did dheck out the oner at e-card models and I'll go ahead and order that one, the price is surely right, but I'm looking for something larger. I also checked out the one at all things aviation per RyanShort and the informatioin there is VERY sketchy. No size(scale) is mentioned, How is the kit delivered? The description suggests the Model is from a former Soviet Bloc country; are the instructions in english? I'd sure appreciate a short review of this kit before I spring for it! Thank you RyanShort, Charleswlkr54 and Zathros for your help! You're awesome!
