However, the kit never made it to market and I have never heard or understood why. Does anyone know any further details behind this kit and why it was never released? I do know in later years Quest released a kit of this vehicle, but it was much smaller, maybe around 1.3" in diameter or so.
If you have any info on the proposed Centuri offering, please fill us in!

Wonder if they chose to do the Bulldog rather than the Tomahawk? It’s in the 1982-83 catalogs and would’ve, kinda, sorta filled the same niche and probably would’ve had similar performance characteristics on smaller motors.
