One of the rarest Solido aircraft
Posted: Sun Apr 25, 2010 4:40 pmThe blue series of Solido are much harder to find today than the silver ones and I would guess a complete Alize is the rarest { the props break and the tail support goes missing} but there is another variant of the silver series that might be even rarer.
Here is the SUPER MYSTERE B-2 in the common finish
and here is the rare one
From an old French Collector friend, Maurice Mouraux, here is what he had to say about the variant I found:
"THIS IS THE RAREST VARIANT OF ALL SOLIDOS. IT WAS ONLY IN PRODUCTION WITH RED ARROW FOR A PERIOD OF WEEKS THEN ISSUED WITHOUT THE RED ARROW. ONLY ONE OTHER KNOWN TO EXIST." { This was written back in 1995 so perhaps more have turned up by now}.
