That brings back memories. I built one around 1970 or '71, in those colours, as one of the aircraft I jumped from at the time.

Boy, I remember that box art from an Airfix catalogue I leafed thru innumerable times as a kid in the early 1970-ies. Those were beautiful paintings!
Still, 80 pounds is a steep initial price.

I made the bloodhound kit and coveted the Hercules kit as anyone would, but did they actually tow a bloodhound into a Hercules with a Landrover?

Never saw that before
