I had two different ones when I was a kid. Both from sending in cereal boxtops IIRC. One had a conning tower just like that one. lol

I see below it they have balsa wood rubber band airplanes too. Those were great!

Oh, like that guy in Kittery, was it, that wanted to leave early, so he started a small fire, it got out of hand, and did a great deal of damage to some sub?
