TRIBUTE RACER

OFF-ROAD TRACTION

Suggested for use with 1/24 Ford Escort Mk.1 kits – particularly Belkits’ recent rally car offerings – these Motobitz Minilites would also be suitable for a range of same-scale 1960s-70s saloon and GT car kits.

LARGE-SCALE ‘EMIL’

Arguably, Airfix revolutionised large-scale modelling with its 1/24 ‘Super Kits’; its Bf 109E was one of the last of the initial batch released between 1970-73, making it a logical inclusion in the firm’s Vintage Classics series.
