Wanted: Testors Convair XF-92A (the X-plane predecessor to the F-102 Delta Dagger)

I want this for a what-if (of course) so I only want the relatively common Testors boxing (white box): leave the original Hawk kits for the collectors and their deep pockets.

Reason: I got one off ebay last year for a sensible price and there seemed to be plenty around. I tried to start it recently by straightening the warped wings in warm water. That did not go well: they promptly warped more and are now unusable. Thing is, I've bought aftermarket bits and another different kit to plunder for bits, so I don't want to give up on the idea. The fuselage from the ruined one is going into a fantastical whiff, and now 'm looking for another good one to complate the original idea. Trouble is, they all seem to have vanished off ebay now... :rolleyes:
