And how did they build them for $3.00, even in 1946 dollors? I saw something similar in an old, used balsa wood model book I bought as a kid and when I asked my dad where I could get one he said no such thing exists. This was some 20 years ago. Seems as if anything like that made today is much more expensive. Very cool. How much can one buy one of those jet engines for nowadays? And how did they build them for $3.00, even in 1946 dollors?
