XP-8
Hi guys, new Rogers fan here. I have a XP-8 kit that has the badges to the side of the mounts not opposite, has anyone seen this before?

Re: XP-8
Those are the earlier XP-8's. I think they made them that way until 1979-ish.
"Big R" badge is, in my opinion, the biggest mistake they made (besides bankruptcy, obviously). Retaining that script 'R' - perhaps with a bigger 'R' - would have been preferable.

Re: XP-8
I for one would be very interested in pics of your badges/locations, and especially serial numbers. These are the earliest XP8 drums, made early summer, released in Sept. 1979.

Re: XP-8
When using Photobucket, click on the IMG link right side of picture and just paste that. You do not need to use the IMG link
