Centuri Bat Rok find

[dannymrmissile]

Found this incredibly mint kit this week. Thought I’d share. Any more out there? Made in 1968, it never made the Catalog.

Yeah, took me 55 years to finally find one,, and was lucky to get it ! Thanks…..

 

[Huxter]

Yeah, very cool. I don't think I could open it - def a collector item.

 

[dannymrmissile]

Yikes,, don’t say open a vintage kit to me ! i think it’s a lil more than a Collector item,, perhaps now the flagship of my massive collection,.,.,., Yeah, it’s definitely a cool kit.. simple, but now one of my best,,,,,,

Wow ! Now that's cool. Glad to see another finally, even built. Glad I have my Semroc one built or I might be after you. I’m also glad to see your paint scheme. I’ve been wanting to change mine from gold to something old,, no pun ,ha. Thanks for sharing,,, looking nice ! oh, you said Bull Dog, but I think you meant Bat Rok. Hey, you don’t wanna sell…. …naah

What a heck of a find!!!
I wish I would have got one from Semroc before they discontinued it.
Would have looked nice next to my Hyper Bat.
You can find them on Ebay, but way more than I will spend.
Display with pride, and Thank You Kindly for sharing!!!

There was one listed last week or so for $30-35 bucks, sealed. It’s a Carl, Knightdale version. I started to get it , but I’ve been spending too much lately on other stuff. Go to eBay and google Bat Rok & see if it’s still there. Good luck…..

Cool. While it was indeed great to find this old kit, it’s better it has generated some interest. Thanks….

Remember, the body tube on the original is One Inch Longer than the Semroc !….
