  1. Apparantly there is a spot reissue of this kit. I have no 'official' confirmation, but judging by how many pop up at European online dealers at the moment, there is no other sensible explanation. So if you need one for your collection, now is the time to get it.
  2. WOW! How did you make the fringes, if I may ask?
  3. Depending on the thickness of your glasses, you may want to sell your N-scale and build a 1/6 scale too?
  4. It is in the list, but further down: "Volkswagen Van from the helicopter service from Magnum" It's actually T.C's 'Island Hoppers' van. One can also build his helicopter from the Academy/Minicraft 1/24 Hughes 500, but that belongs into the 'could' thread. This list isn't nearways finished, I'm sure. Does anyone out there have something to add? When it is fairly complete, I will edit it properly for posteriority.
  5. Not only in the trailers, but also in the show. Whenever they went to some place by car, they used Steed's. Whenever Emma Peel drove somewhere on her own, she used first a white Lotus Elan, later a light blue metallic one: Steed not only drove Bentleys. I know of the following cars: AC Greyhound in The Sell-Out 7061 MK Triumph Herald in Warlock CPT 75 a 1930s Lagonda in Traitor in Zebra GK 3295 another 1930s Lagonda, a 2 Litre Speed Model Low Chassis, in Don't Look Behind You XT 2276 a 1924 Blue Vauxhall 30-98 in The Gravediggers, The Thirteenth Hole VX 897 Olive Green Land Rover SWB Soft Top in A Sense of History, Never, Never Say Die OPC 104D Olive Green Land Rover SWB Soft Top in The Hidden Tiger LPH 800D Maroon AC 428 Convertible in Invasion of the Earthmen NOTE: Very rare (19 or 29 were built, depending on the information source) with coachbuilt body by Frua of Italy. Meant to be Steed's car for the Thorson season, driven by him only in this episode, then given to Tara. Not an "AC Cobra" as is often cited. KK 4976 Yellow 1923 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost 40/50 in Game, Super Secret Cypher Snatch, You'll Catch Your Death, Whoever Shot Poor George..., All Done with Mirrors, Legacy of Death, Look - (stop me if..., False Witness, The Interrogators, The Rotters, Fog, Wish You Were Here, Love All, Stay Tuned, Take Me To Your Leader, Get-A-Way! My Wildest Dream, Bizarre UU 3864 Yellow 1927 Rolls Royce New Phantom Tourer in Who Was That Man I Saw You With? Requiem, Thingumajig, Take-Over Steed drove the following Bentleys: UW 4887 4½ Litre in The Master Minds, Too Many Christmas Trees, Dead Man's Treasure NOTE: the same registration appears on a different Bentley: UW 4887 3 Litre in Small Game for Big Hunters, The Danger Makers, A Touch of Brimstone, The House That Jack Built, How To Succeed....At Murder, Dead Man's Treasure NOTE: yet another Bentley with the same registration as above appears to be used in the monochrome end credits. XR 6056 3 Litre in The Hour That Never Was and Man-Eater of Surrey Green. This car has chassis number 544, and is currently located in the United States.

Have Guns - Will Haggle, The Curious Case of the Countless Clues, The Forget-Me-Knot NOTE: this car also appears once in The New Avengers. So Steed actually drove Bentleys in only roughly half of the episodes. Sorry. I'm a total Avengers junkie.
  6. Several Lupin III Fiat 500s, Messerschmidts and 2CVs by Gunze Sangyo.
  7. Emma Peel drove a Lotus, which could be built from the Gunze kit.
  8. Jim Rockford's Firebirds could easily be made from the MPC Trans Am kits.
  9. Well, why something was kitted or not, can have a multitude of reasons. With TV/Movie stuff my first suspicion would be that no licensing agreement could be made. Anyway, I think I remember another kit: The MPC Jesse Hawk Mustang.
  10. ...I found a thread on a German modellers forum, where a guy builds a model of a Baureihe 01 express steam locomotive in 1/6th scale! Yes, you read right. The model will stand almost 4 metres long when finished! And he does it to decorate his kitchen wall with it, because he feels it's 'too empty'. Lookee: http://www.wettringer-modellbauforum.de/forum/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=17232 He makes the parts mainly from cardboard and wood, then casts them in resin when he needs multiples. The boiler is a steel tube.
  11. WOW, you like your movie cars, ay? Great jobs, the whole lot of them!
  12. Revell released its range of 1962 Mopar kits in clear with glitter mixed into the plastic. The idea whas to paint the inside of the body and thus achieve a glitter paint job.
  13. Yeah, I guess it was a Super six since it had a six. The cars were built in Ireland from CKDs. At least 10 or so were made into hearses by Duffy. Six are known to survive, three of them in useable condition. I see if I can dig up a photo, there must be some prints somewhere...
  14. Gosh, I just was eating. Where is the vomit smiley? Something beautiful, quick, quick: http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2010/09/26/automobiles/collectibles/20100926-spindizzy.html
  15. Anything 1/20 and 1/16.
  16. Revell Jurassic Park Mercedes-Benz M-Class and Hummer
  17. Tis my Tamiya Jaguar MKII. Everything turned out superb so far. But I can't get them bleeding windows installed properly. I'm also doing a 55 Nomad and just can't get the banana trim look right with BMF. I. Just. Can't. Bloody. Do. It.
  18. I have two daughters, four and eleven. I know exactly how you feel. I have no idea whether God exists, but I sure hope so. For your daughter. I will put a light outside for her. It has helped in other cases. Let me know when she is in for surgery. I will put the light outside that night.
  19. Roflcopter! Tis Wayne's World, ay? But I agree. That Century would be a darn nice kit to have.
  20. Purdey's MGB from The New Avengers. I've done it with the Aoshima/Airfix kit. Steed's Range Rover from The New Avengers could be built from the ESCI kit. Gambit's Jag XJ-S from The New Avengers could be built from the Hasegawa kit. Could the 'The War of the Roses' Morgan be built from the Tamiya kit? Mercedes-Benz 170V (Capt.-Lt. Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock's car) from Das Boot could be built from the heller/airfix kit. The Citroen 15/6 and '70 Cadillac Eldorado from Jaques Beinix's 'Diva' could be built from the Heller and the Jo-Han kits.
  21. I never ever, ever, never, ever use clear on white. Too many bad things happened and what you just experienced looks all too familiar. If I paint a model white, I only use a polishing kit.
  22. All the hearses I had/have: 1961 Ford Country Sedan 1979 Chevrolet Caprice Classic 1962 Chevrolet Biscayne converted by Duffy's of Dundalk 1948 Chrysler Windsor converted by Duffy's of Dundalk 1948 Hudson Hornet converted by Duffy's of Dundalk Ford of Europe Granada MKII by Duffy's and Woodall Nicholson Ford of England Zodiac MKIV by Duffy's 1938 Daimler DE18 by CO-OP (Coachbuilder unknown. The car was commissioned new as a hearse by the co-operative, England's largest funeral company to this day) 1964 Austin Princess by Woodall Nicholson Fiat 130 by Dario Casale Mercedes Benz 450SEL 6.9 by Dario Casale 1959 Pontiac Bonneville by Pilato 1934 Rolls-Royce 25/30 by Alpe & Saunders Daimler DS 420 by Woodall Nicholson Rover 75 by J. McNeillie & Sons And my 'new' Jaguar XJ by Eagle Coachcraft and my 'new' Aussie Ford Falcon by Hammond
