I'm really curious how would they do the open cowlings in resin?!?:rolleyes:o_O:oops:

I guess separate parts, to be joined ?
I was actually thinking of dimensions (thickness) of the cowl parts. It's quite possible to print a very thin resin part but ask a modeller how one can handle it. I myself managed to "produce" some cowl flaps, cowl parts etc. out of thin metal foil or to sand plastic card to an "impossible" thickness, but those materials have a good plasticity, resin doesn't.

And this is where the joint comes in!
 
I built a model of the Talos in the early sixties. Could your kit be a reboxed version of what I built?
No doubt it is. Atlantis uses discontinued Revell, Monogram, Lindberg, kits as well as some from a few other companies. Talos was rather unusual in that it was a SAM that flew a trajectory that brought it DOWN on its target from above. I read that a US destroyer got a radar lock on some NVN Migs in their traffic pattern and shot some down with Talos.
The X-17 is an interesting choice to reissue, but they have reissued the Lindberg 1/48 Snark and the Revell/Adams Nike Herc as well as the Revell Mercury Atlas the Monogram Missiles display; I hope this trend continues.
 
I had several examples of this, as my three older brothers were quite the smokers. I never really developed a taste, er smoke for it.
