Sunbeam Tiger kits?

[droogie]

Anyone know of any?

[droogie]

AMT did a Sunbeam. The original (Get Smart) version was an Alpine, it quickly turned into a Tiger for the reissues...and there have been several runs over the years. Hopefully Round 2 will reissue the kit someday, but you can find them fairly easily on Ebay.

There were a couple (Airfix and Revell, I think) Sunbeam Alpines in 1/32, but no Tigers.

Thanks for the info.

Wow! That is one serious little Sunbeam racer! I like it. Love to see it booming around Mosport.

nice tiger! where did you get those minilite wheels? they arent in the kit are they? kinda look like the ones from the esci "crystal" ford escort. i bought a bunch of those kits one time on sale for like 3$ each but ive stolen all the wheels over the years...would like to get more.

Lemme guess, lemme guess, let's see whether I'm right or not...

They are from the AMT 73 Mustang kit.

I kinda want the Get smart version of this kit,Does anyone cast the get smart parts so that I can buy the cheaper kit instead.

Have a friend that bought a collection about 2 months ago he bought over 1200 kits. He brought about half of them to the KAMS contest and swapmeet in April He had 6 of those Sunbeams at the show The night before when we were setting up all 6 were sold to 2 other vendors before any body else got a look.

I think they did the Tiger also

didnt i read somewhere that the get smart tiger was due for a reissue? not postive but i thought i had noted that somewhere.

oh and thanks for the clues on the wheels back in feb 2010, i dont think i ever made it back here to check for an answer. meanwhile i discovered what was reported: blueprinter version on the shelf has the mags. well, HAD the mags...now there is a note in there to myself reminding me i pirated the wheels back in 2008!

There's a resin caster out there who makes Minilites. I just can't remember who it is! I bought a set about two years ago. Maybe somebody else can remember who casts the Minilites.
