Re: Motorsport History In Minature
There was a time when there was a steady stream of affordable kits on the market. From UK 2/- Airfix kits to more upmarket Revell, Aurora and Merit.
Early favourites were the Revell E Type Jaguar and Ford GT40 (I think that was Revell), but it was the chromed parts that made them so good.
Favourite though in recent times? Tamiya Mk II Jaguar. (Both versions).

Check out this site Chaindrive.

Just sold on TradeMe - an unmade Merit Vanwall kit - $86!!! When dad bought his, I think they were either 5/- or 7/6. (May have been 7/6 for the Alfa and the Talbot with engine detail). May have to check the boxes.

Santa came early to my place as " BMC BOY " delivered this a few weeks back.. secondhand, and a TR4 not a TR4A, but great as very like the one I had in real life.
