Yep, it is the same old kit that was also sold
by Entex in the seventies in large quantities.
The Entex kits can be scooped up from eBay for
about $15 so I don't think value of the Minicraft
kit will dramatically increase over the next couple of decades :p
The kit is okay, you need to be careful when building it,
to make sure it runs properly and DON'T glue the clear sides of the housings
against the flat side walls or the rotors will jam.

Renwal and then Revell both issued a 1/3 scale Wankel rotor motor. Even those only bring $25 to $40
