The childhood build thread got me remembering this kit and it seems to be somewhat hard to find ? Are any of the parts obviously from other kits besides the Mysterion ?   |

Man, as much as I like the Mysterion, I find this design really appealing. Unlike some "revisions," they did a good job on this one. I like the nose.

Definitely one of Revell's better remakes and hard to find too , I've been looking for a while but there's not much info online except for our very own Show Rod list . Model Roundup has had one for a few weeks but as you'd expect they've priced it a bit high !  www.modelroundup.com/product-p/rmx-h-1329.htm |

One of my favorites. Other than the Mysterion, I don't know what kits Revell pulled from.

Ah yes,this was indeed a knock off of the Mysterion when Roth and Revell had their "contract" or "commission" conflict.....This was Revell's way of saying "screw you" to Roth.Since they owned the molds,they "modified" it to make this "Dual Jewell" kit.Bob Paeth told me this on the phone,and as a former employee of Revell,he would have known about this!!!!
There was also an Advent model kit of this.It was molded in black,and it was called "Double Trouble"...I was fortunate enough to win one of the Advent kits on EBAY about 5 years ago (cheap too)....no it isn't for sale,gang!
Here is one of the only images that I could find on Google.....I'll try to provide a few more pix later this week.

I have a picture here for you all of Advent's "Double Trouble" kit. It is the same as the "Dual Jewell",it is simply molded in black,and reboxed under the Advent named "Double Trouble".Circa 1979,and it says on the boxes side panel "Advent is a division of Revell,Inc.".

Funny, when I had this as a kid I had no idea it was a factory bash. I guess I need to keep my eye's peeled for those two kits, maybe eventually one will show up under radar.

Luckily those abortions are very rare!! I think Ed just didn't care what they did with the car after he finished with it. He was like that, out of sight, out of mind, onto the next adventure.
