Model Forum / General / Models / April 2007Names these vintage kits
I recall a range of clip together kits which included a motor and batter holder. These were in the UK in the mid 70's There was a P51 Mustang (non-bubble cockpit variant) . The Plastic was in two shades of brown and the kit spun the prop and possibly powered a tail wheel. Also I recall a Gray & white plastic MTB in a smaller scale that could go in water and had powered props. Possibly a Tank and a Cessna Floatplane too. I half think they were Scalecraft or Minicraft ? Can anyone remember the range and any others in the range I think they were 'Scalecraft'. The tank was a Centurion, around 1/30th scale, possibly 1/32nd. The plastic was a very 'soapy' type, if I recall correctly it didn't take glue very well. The markings were stickers. I had the Centurion and the MTB to run the int bath (I was a lot younger!) The also did a 2½ Ton Army Truck, a Jeep, a paddle steamer, various racing cars (a single seater Cooper, Lotus and BRM plus a GT40 I think), a go-kart, and a London bus. I think the some of the range was revived in the eighties in a more garish form, lots of stickers. Hope this helps.

Definitely Scalecraft. The highlight for me was the Supermarine S6B. > <m...@hotmail.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > - Show quoted text - There was also a 1/72 scale Westland Wessex helicopter. Wish I had picked one up when the local toy store had them. What scale was the S. 6B? Tom |
