Has anyone thought of 'Cars of the Stars', in plastic?

[McColm]

There's an 1/24 Airfix DB5 up for grabs on eBay.
I think Airfix did the Nissan hard top with Little Nellie.
Smokey and the Bandit shouldn't be too difficult to get hold of.
Duel, well that could be anything pre-1950s for the rig.

The list is growing.

The Munsters had a few, the Munster Koach and Drag-u-la

And Road Warrior/Mad Max

[The Wooksta!]

Tamiya do a 1/24 Mini too, I see it often in our nearest Hobbycraft.

Someone on Britmodeller is doing a diorama with the three Mini's in the sewer and started with the Revell Mini Rally kit as it's got the correct headlight set up for The Italian Job.

Any 24th Beetle for Herbie?

Sadly, there's no 24th Ford Granada mk 1s or Cortina Mk 3s for either Jack Regan's or Gene Hunt's motors respectively.

Airfix and Monogram both did a Triumph TR7 - was it Purdey or Gambit that drove one in The New Avengers?

Aoshima 1/24 Mad Max II/Road Warrior Falcon.

Gunze Lotus Elan and Tamiya Lotus Europa.  Both 1/24.
Don't know where you'd get a scale Mrs Peel and Tara King though.
Steed's Bentley would be trickier as it wasn't the 4 1/2 litre "blower" car that is usually kitted.

[McColm]

I've seen the rally version in 1/24 Audi Quattro, Tamiya do a 1/24 road car.
The '59 Caddillac Convertible popular in films such as Pink Cadillac, Clint Eastwood.
Citroen 2CV, was driven by Roger Moore-Bond , Tamiy.
Dodge Charger- Bullitt, Vanishing Point and the Dukes of Hazzard.
VW Beetle- Herbie
Ferrari 308 GTB- Tom Selleck Magnum.
Haven't seen one in plastic, but the Ferrari Dino 246 GT- Tony Curtis The Persuaders.
Miami Vice- Lamborghini Countach 5000s.
Lotus 7-The Prisoner.
Pontiac Trans-Am- Smokey and the Bandit. The Firebird- The Rockford Files.
Rolls Royce Silver Cloud, gets a mention. Man at the top and what John Lennon did to his.
Between Tamiya, Doyusha and Aoshima, ERTL and MPC most kits are covered from stock or limited editions.

[Mossie]

I think both Tamiya and ESCI did 'civvy' boxings of their Quattro's, might be hard to find though.

Fujimi do very nice Dino 246GT and 246GTS.

Thanks,
Some of the British cars are going to be kitbashed from Japanese examples.

Someone (possibly MPC) made a Ferrari 308 boxed as the Magnum car.  Full detail kit IIRC but you must wear tiny white tennis shorts and sport a large 'tasche while building it.
Monogram did a kerbside 308.

The AMT Munsters Koach is a very poorly executed model and would take quite a lot of work to build an accurate replica.
Of course this being Whiffworld that may not bother you.

Has anyone mentioned the AMT Beverly Hillbillies jalopy?
It has the parts to build either Grannies truck or Jethro's "Hot Rod".

And now I have the theme song stuck in my head...

What you have to remember is the Brits didn't get every American TV program until satellite /cable telly became available to the masses.
I'm playing catch-up on YouTube. Joe 90 is where I'm upto!

Just found on eBay:
All in 1/24 scale

Revell 2CV Charleston
Nichima Lotus Esprit
Airfix James Bond Range- Aston Martin DB5 and Toyota 2000GT.

[zenrat]

You could justifiably claim the Toyota 2000GTs used in You Only Live Twice were full sized manufacturers Whiffs as they were the only two convertible versions built by Toyota.

... and that was because Connery didn't fit.

Should have stuck with the DB5..............
