I saw that and thought 'They did that anyway, I turned one in to a slot racer with two Milliperms glued into a cigar tube as a chassis!' and then I looked at the scale......

A 1/24 Lotus Cortina would be VERY good, oh yes.

Except the box art is 1/12

I know it's in a book I have around here somewhere....

A bit on the large side then, I can't see those BIG kits.....................
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! :)

Do you think that the kit would come with running lights and a working engine?

A Super Minx!   :o

Who'd have thought of THAT! I built a few of them in my time, 1:1 scale ones I mean.  ;D

I like the period price sticker, and the rusty staple marks on the Beagle's instruction sheet/headcard too.

And the catalogue was 1/9d. I wonder how many of us remember what that was ? Almost a weeks pocket money in the 50's for me  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
