89AKurt Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I had the Corgi of this car, like all of them got wrecked or disappeared. What a fun subject, never knew there was a model of this. Pulling up a chair...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geetee66 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I loved that movie and I've still got my original Dinky toy with all the figures and wings! Fortunately, the car features heavily in the movie, so there's plenty of chances to check details. I'll be watching your progress ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Cool. I'll be watching! I have one of those too. Mine is a badly started kit, all the parts off trees in a warped box. I found it at a Toledo show many years ago for $10. I thought for sure it would be just a parts kit, but once I did inventory I found that it was missing one part... a gas cap! I should build it.

peteski Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I got a good laugh from the original price tag on the kit: less than $3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from less than stellar plating, and a couple VERY vague fitment instructions, this is a pretty freaking sweet kit! -thanks for following!!
