1960s

In the 1960s, the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union supplanted the race for air supremacy that had dominated the previous decade.  At least in the public's imagination.  As a result, few speculative aircraft were kitted during this turbulent period.  Those models that did make it to hobby shop shelves tended to be either variations of proposed Super-Sonic Transports (SSTs) or variations of existing military aircraft.  A few key examples of such models are featured in this section.
