Now this is what I'd like to see a model of: https://airandspace.si.edu/webimages/collections/full/19610070000b.JPG In the 60's I had a wind-up toy of one that flew, but the entire platform revolved like a propeller - a bit nauseating and disorienting for the pilot.

My toy one was better than the 1/72 model. And I didn't see any toy at the above link!
