 Much more so in
the pre-Internet days than today, obtaining or even knowing about model airplane products in foreign
countries was difficult. Unless an aircraft modeling magazine, of which there might have been three
or four in 1960, happened to report on something like this Velox kit from Veron, in the UK, there was
almost no way most hobbyists would ever learn of it. My guess is that most model magazines published
in foreign lands were brought back to the U.S. in the duffle bags of military members and their families.
Velox models have recently sold on
eBay for more than $100, and there is a fairly extensive
Velox
thread on the StuntHanger.com forum.
