The term "Formula One race car" brings quite different images to mind (see the historical lineup picture here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Formula_One ) depending on one's age, especially if one doesn't follow the sport closely, but they're all Formula One race cars. The same is true of FAI heli-roc models (and other non-scale types of FAI space models [such as streamer duration rockets], whose typical appearances have changed over the years). I don't follow FAI heli-roc competition closely, and the pictures I've seen of such models (which date back to the 1990s, in Stuart Lodge's books) showed models that looked like the new Estes kit. |
