Well, there may not be a WIDE market of people interested in the Boeing SST, but there IS a market nonetheless. Put anything with the name "Boeing 2707 SST" up on Ebay and just name your price... it WILL go.
I've gotten 2 different scale plastic kits of the -200 design on EBay in the last year. There is also some fellow selling model after model of some mohagony -200 replicas which look to be about 1:72 scale. As for the Airlines, I believe it was backed by a number of US airlines by necessity... United, Pan American for SURE as well as American, Delta, TWA and Eastern I believe. I'm sure there were others as well...
There is a local DAC contingent (my self included) who continually plug the companies for a 1:400 release of at least ONE version of this elusive mythical bird... So don't be SO sure that no one remembers it or would pay for a model of it!

Dar is absolutely correct on this one...Ive been wanting a roomful of SST's since I got my first Boeing Prototype Kits in the seventies.
BTW:The Mahoghany SSTs on Ebay are 1/144.. He can make a 1/72 Boeing ship....I was quoted in the 400.00 range. Im not sure about a wooden airplane that large. Nothing worse than getting a slender airplane like the B2707-399 warping. Theres also the complex curves too...I would have to see one of the 1/144 airplanes very closely. Anyone out there have one?
Meanwhile, Im happy with my Entex Tu-144/Revell Boeing & PAA -200's/Mongram canard -200....but would love to have more than just 2 1;400 SSTs in my collection
