Well, there's bad news and (maybe) good news. First, the XSLO-1 was from the 50's and not the 60's. Second, it was definitly NOT a snap together kit - although stages were meant not to be glued so that you could 'realistically' recreate your trip to the Moon. This kit is super collectible and you'll probably do best to try to find a home built to restore. (Maybe) Good News. Revellogram is considering doing this in their SSP series if people would keep hammering them with requests. I hear that they are 50/50 on doing the old Revell 'trash can' Space Station - which would be REALLY COOL. The problem is that these kits were originally shot in multi-color plastic and the channels for the different color spurs have to be modified to fit the current injection machines. There is definitely a group in Revellogram that wants to do these kits - and likewise, a group that doesn't. I keep hearing that it's on again / off again. All I can say is if you want to see these kits one last time, hit Revellogram with requests. Scott
