<VV> Plastic Models question

[Alan and Clare Wesson]

>> Kit Corvair model lates are better than kit Corvair model earlies

I agree with the above statement, but I am moved to ask: What kit model 
earlies? I have been into kit models since I was a kid, and I still have 
about 200 unmade ones that I have bought over the years (I kept buying them 
long after my lifestyle had changed to mean that I no longer had time to 
make them), but I have never been able to find an Early.

Is the model JR refers to the current AMT one (I think I have 2 or 3 of 
those) with (I think) a yellow LM on the box, or is there another and/or an 
earlier version? I think the current one is cheap and readily available 
(unless I have not been paying attention!). I see them at Hershey for 
$10-20 - or at least, I suppose I have done so about 3 years ago. I can't 
say if I have seen any more recently than that, but I haven't been looking 
as I already had some!

But if AMT make an Early, I am up for it, at any price!

Cheers

Alan
