Craig Irwin Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Somebody made a 1/24 MGA, I've seen built ups (and passed on them at a swap meet), but I don't know what model company. I'd love to have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoRover007 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Never understood why they did the box-art like that, it's sort of a Hippie theme or Barbie (not Klaus) toy-like, while the Land Rover brand at that time, stood for a though vehicle for serious off-roading, for fun and as a mean to get through and to remote areas, other then by plane. Since the late 90's it's also become a fashion accessory, to portray the adventurous to those who like the theme but in a concrete jungle setting. And then the French license plates on a iconic British vehicle, they fought wars for less there ;^) Anyway, that kit, if the tooling is still there needs a overhaul, better wheels and tires (option off and on road) a roll-bar extra doors for topless (no not that kind) driving and some neat off road accessories like a winch, tread plates and real looking gas cans. They should scrap the design all together and come out with a Defender 90 kit and a Discovery I or II. Those would sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to have one. Sign me up. I drove one for many years in college, 1967-1968, well that wasn't so many years. It was by Southern / SE Finecast in the UK and was in white metal. They also did the MGB roadster and GT, along with an upgrade kit to convert the B to a V8, as per the factory BGT V8. See here. I'd love one of those kits too, so I can build a model of my uncle's '59 1600 Mk1 roadster, which I borrowed for most of last summer when my '67 Volvo Amazon was undergoing crash repairs. Btw, the one in the pic is a 1500. However, as the MGA has already been nominated, my vote for reissuing is instead for the road version of the Italeri Range Rover. The Paris Dakar rally version has been re-released a few times, but I haven't seen a road going one, except for the rare occasions when one appears on ebay (usually police spec - but easily converted to civilian) and ends up fetching far stronger money than I'm prepared to pay. No doubt it will be re-released, as soon as I have finished converting the rally version i bought a few years ago to normal road spec...

Welly has a diecast Defender in 1/24 and I think Motormax? has a Discovery in 1/18 scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
