Default New Crescent Bullet Kit

Anyone remember this fine flying 40 size model?
Now being done as a kit again.
I had two in the early 80s.
One shot down, the other retired somewhat oil soaked.

Sure do. Good to see it available again. I never had one but did have one of these - it's big brother the Crescent Tornado. Fine flyer with Webra Speed and Rhom retracts. Hope they bring it back as well although I did keep the original kit plans - just in case.

Bullets were all the rage here in Western Australia in the 70's and 80's, everyone had one.

You could be in luck again as i think PB models are talking to an Australian agent about distributing them over there. Mine is now all but complete, really looking forward to getting it in the air!

Thanks Pete, not getting enough spare time to finish it at the moment but it is very near to completion. Biggest job left is the canopy . . . . . one of my two biggest hates in building! that and hinging! would be well worth the money Pete.

heh, we used to put O.S. 40 vf's into them, with a Ranjit Phelan "magic muffler". They used to HONK! (both literally and figuratively!)
