Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for their Hobby Kits as a wonderful Christmas present. There is a picture of a young boy staring with youthful intensity at the Navy Helicopter he has built with his own two hands, and maybe a few of Dad’s fingers. The caption reminds us that “putting them together makes a great Christmas” and continues by telling us that these kits range in price from $2.98 to $4.95. These Gift Sets were several model kits in the same box and the ad brags that “There are 9 different Revell Gift Sets to choose from”. Pictured in the ad are the sets entitled Let’s Take a Trip, Air Power and the Navy Log while mentioned are the Dawn Patrol, the Speedy Sportsters, Autorama, a Merchant Fleet, the U.S. Frigate Constitution – “Old Ironsides” and the HMS Bounty.
