Found this on E-bay at a good price, missing 3 small parts, one of the plastic bits for the rubber band in the missile launcher and the two display stand parts that fit into the hull, all easily fabricated. It is also missing the decals but that is easily fixed with some paint. I don't care about the box being messed up since I plan on building this one and yes, I will be using the "missile launchers" that come with it. The original kit used rubber bands but I plan on doing what I did with my original back in 1978, use a pair of springs out of ball point pens in the launchers instead of the rubber bands.

Yep, it fired through the round hole in the nose part. I believe the first run of the kits were the only ones that had the launchers, after that they were deleted due to safety concerns. I can attest that they could be dangerous, especially when your bratty cousin files the blunt point of the missile into a real point and it sticks about a quarter inch into your leg when fired point blank at you!
