I went absolutely apeshit over that cartoon when it was run on afternoon TV in my town in the late 70s. It was like my two favorite things--Star Wars and superheroes--got mashed up into one exciting thing. It didn't hurt that the animation reminded me of Speed Racer, either.
Does the model have the vehicles (race car like vehicle, motorcycle, weird tank thing) that go in the nose, wings, and the jet that goes in the tail?
I does, but I have not done them yet. They are very small and I'm not steady enought to do a good paint job and/or decal them.
