I love the original Revell 747-100/200 kits. I still have the old original NASA 741 & Shuttle kit from the 70's which I have yet to start on as well as the TWA Advent 741.

These kits you could find very easily in the 80's and Revell made them in Europe too. In Switzerland I remember every model shop having the Revell 747, DC-10 and A310 in Swissair and in Germany it was the same models in Lufthansa. They also did the 747 in Air France and Sabena. In the US in the 80's you could find mostly these European airlines with these kits as I never saw any Pan Am or TWA kits available.

This SAS is a re-release of an old 70's kit and I got bought mine in London in Hamleys last year for around GBP 19.99.
