This'll no doubt be of interest to Kit, George is venturing into 1/24th scale and the first subject is an Imp, regular
and with flares. He's still developing the model so it'll be a bit before it's available.

Indeed so, George had a prototype 1/24 Imp at the UK Slot Festival last weekend and it looked very good. The one on show was a standard, flareless body, but had a good 'look' to it.

I've built his 1/32 scale kit into a slot racing model of my 1965 drag racing Imp. (Don't all laugh at once, we won the class that first year.)

Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

George is SOME ace modeller, at all levels. I've got quite a few of his slot cars and even more of his R/C boat kits, but he's got out of the boats now, and concentrates on the cars.

I've met him more than a few times and a nicer guy would be hard to meet. One of the best.  :thumbsup:

Not my thing but there are some interesting body shells lying around on his work bench. :thumbsup:

A 1/24 Anglia 105E and a 1/32 Chaparral 2D for a start.  :thumbsup:

Not sure I've ever seen an Interceptor, in any slot-racing scale. :(
