Spookytooth Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Question, does anybody know whether this car is available in kit form? I have been asked by a friend to find out. Simon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 It's my dream car . It's quite rare, but there's a 1/24 Injection Moulded kit by 'Palmer' of the USA. I used to have it, sold it for a quite a lot when desperate in 2003, but really didn't want to.. I think the kit dates from about 1962. It was a good kit with a few different build options in it. Its quite on a par with all US subjects of the time and was a full kit with chrome parts etc. I bought it from the USA; I think specialist model car shops over there might be a good place to start for your friend. I think it was $70. In around 1997 !! Hope he/she gets one; just lovely cars . Best regards TonyT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTiger66 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I had a look on Evilbay Simon. The last one sold for a crazy price http://m.ebay.com/itm/311598476362?_mwBanner=1 I just found this slot car kit in 1/32 that looks like a lot more sensible starting point at £22.00 . Could just be built as a scale model: https://www.pendleslotracing.co.uk/volvo-p1800-resin-kit.html Best regards TonyT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthewbacon Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 There's an Airtrax 1/24 or 1/25 resin kit: Airtrax are a pair of Finnish master modellers. I think you can contact them here: [email protected] They don't have a website, and the Fotki account of the guy who has a gallery of most of the kits has been suspended... best, M. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
