All the ones that have been mentioned recently......

From memory Jaguar 420, Austin Maxi, the Beach Buggy, Bond Bug, Triumph TR4A, Triumph Herald, Aston Martin DB5, Alfa 8C, Ford Escort, Ford Zodiac, Ford Capri, Ferrari 250 LM, etc etc.

There's LOTS of them,. or there were originally anyway.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
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! :)

I've got a couple of SH Mk II's and Lee is going to sort me out something for a Mk I  :thumbsup:

I probably have the bits kicking about anyway in one or two spares boxes.

The Beach Buggy has been sought after for years on the used market and
the prices have climbed over the years. It'll probably be a decent seller.

The Revell 1/32nd kit is a snap-together of an EMPI Imp and was
originally released in 1970.

I've just had an idea for the upcoming Blue Lights GB  :wacko:

Do you think Airfix go on Ebay and search their out of production moulds to see what prices they're going for?

I'm trying to work out if that young lady is wearing a top or is just clutching a towel to protect her modesty ?  ;)
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

:thumbsup:

Told you there were lots of them.  ;D

In my time I've converted most to slot racers, and I'm in the middle of doing a World Cup Rally Maxi right now. Mainly because I welded up the tailgate of the real thing in  1969.  ;D

Me too, I even had a Mini 4-wheel drive --- mind you the front wheels didn't have steering

There's a few more I can think of, all early cars.  There's the smaller Bentley Blower, Vauxhall Prince Henry and Morris Cowley.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

There's an Aston Martin DB6 in the 32nd list but AFAIK, the only DB6 Airfix did was in 24th.  I've got one somewhere...

Bearing in mind that the vast majority of "Airfix" 1/24 & 1/25 kits are reboxes of other
manufacturers kits.

Actually aside from the Bond kits and the Aston Martins, what kits did they actually do in
1/24th, I know they didn't do anything in 1/25th.

Most were MPC originals IIRC, and very nice ones they were too.

I built quite a few of them, and my Dodge Charger was a BLINDING slot racer in it's class.  ;D
