Id forgotten about buses etc. In the period for this GB there was a company called Transport Replicas,, and I made a couple of there kits, some of the kits are here http://www.kwtrams.co.uk/product-category/cars-lorries-people And other are now marketed by the Model Bus Federation but you have to be a member to buy their kits, I need a couple of buses to go along with Railway 200 builds - what am I drawing myself into? 1 1
Mr T Posted September 12 Posted September 12 Joystick and Blue Rider are other vacform manufacturers, although some of their kits may be post 1990. A good excuse to build my Blue Rider Bleriot XI that has been sat my stash since 1990. So basically I'm in for this. 2
TonyW Posted September 13 Posted September 13 Wot, no Starfix? Count me in please Pat. Jo-han, Merit, just about all the vac form makers, Hawk, Kitmaster, the list is endless. I'm getting dizzy just thinking about the possibilities. Tony. 1 2
Adrian Hills Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Lots of interesting subjects from Welsh Models 😊 1 1
Mr T Posted September 14 Posted September 14 A quick query, I have the Aircraft in Miniature version of the Formaplane Hastings, would that qualify, given that I cannot see a new on appearing anytime soon, it might just get built. 1
2996 Victor Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Yes please, Pat, sign me up for this baby! Are re-boxings acceptable? I'm thinking of the Testors reissues of the Hawk racers, Laird Solution etc. Cheers, Mark 1

Plus my Scottishness is screaming the reboxes are much cheaper Cheers Pat 3
JOCKNEY Posted September 14 Author Posted September 14 I'm a bit disappointed that no one has suggested Beechnut Models, so here's a reminder on what you're missing out on They just don't build them like this anymore Cheers Pat 3

I remain hopeful that someone like Halberd or SBS might come the rescue..... 2

48-Alone-Is-Great Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Another Williams Brothers 1/32 Curtiss Sparrowhawk here! 3
CarLos Posted September 14 Posted September 14 May I add Huma and Sierra to the producers list? (and me to the interested) Carlos 1

As I am also a card modeller how about: Biltezi and Micromodels to be added to the list? Staying the obscure card kits, here's a firm I only encountered on Monday No. contact details, but clearly very old. Not sure what sort of classic I'd class it as, certainly not brilliant but it was £2 in the till of the Bure Valley Railway so no harm done! 2 1
Rob G Posted September 26 Posted September 26 @JOCKNEY Pat, you can add Inpact and Life-Like to your manufacturers list. Some really great subjects, including reissues of the Pyro kits. 2 1

JOCKNEY Posted October 1 Author Posted October 1 As you can see, this one is in the calendar for next year, many thanks @Enzo the Magnificent Cheers Pat 2
Mjwomack Posted October 1 Posted October 1 OOH! All growed up as a Future GB now; one of my more restrained thoughts is for an A-Z of obscure manufacturers! (It's what KingKit's for! - Other suppliers are avaliable) 1
Black Knight Posted October 1 Posted October 1 More for the list; AML Artiplast Artmi Arii Bobcat UPC Warhammer South Eastern Premiere Phoenix 2 1

Black Knight Posted October 1 Posted October 1 I'll try. I do have at least one of each of those and they all need built sometime I have several other kits by the odd-ball makers I'd like to get my Mushroom Models kit built too 2

From a boringly practical point of view however, I'll need to rationalise other GBs if I want to avoid adding to all the unfinished builds littering the place ! Cheers Pat 1
