Mark Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 As an aside from the complexities of the WnW's kits, I decided to have a bash at the Airfix Model 'T' and turn it into a Huck's Starter. I managed to grab one off of eBay and although this is not the kit (too lazy to take a photo!) here's the packaging that she comes in: The kit dates from 1959 and this begs the question, did I bag a bargain? I paid just under twenty quid including postage and would hate it if I'd just cut up a kit that's worth an awful lot more!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Seems a reasonable price. I would just build it. Shuttleworth have a real one if you need references. http://www.shuttleworth.org/collection/hucks-starter/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 So it's not worth 500 quid then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jb65rams Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I will watch this one with interest as I have also entertained the idea of building a Hucks Starter. I was thinking of using a 1/35 RPM kit as a base. When I was looking around I found this, https://www.google.com/patents/US1313693 The US patent. Hope the photo below will help, taken at the Shuttleworth Collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
