I had a quick look through the shed and rounded these up

I will see how many I can get through, along with a bofors set and whatever else I can find.

The Guidline missile was acquired from cash converters and has its price tag of £7, I can't remember if they had already reduced the prices by a third when I bough it.  The box is in poor condition but that's not a problem if you build it.

What a bargain for the Guidline missile :shock:
Did you get it very long ago?

I would never have thought to look there for old kits- I think I may browse at the local one occasionally now though.

I don't think they were selling well  I recently bought 1/76 Fujimi PzKfw 38(t) and Sdkfz 251/1 or 10 for £3 each.

They obviously didn't know its value  :airhead:

The ATF is becoming a bit of a Guideline home right now, best not let any spy jets fly over :airhead: .

Can't believe that there may be another SA-2 in the pipeline for this GB. Nice collection of other subjects too

I will try the Sam next but first I will try 3 bren carriers and a morris and Bofors
These will add to a wargames collection.  I think I didn't build all these carriers
Image
These depict the 11th armoured division but the divsional signs and AoS markings were hand painted. I now have decals for these and will replace some with GB vehicles.
I have done some pre painting so far

Some progress, yes they are for wargaming -no super detailing. Although most internet references and the rapid fire rules book show the Loyd carrier as being the principal prime move for the 6pdr.

Yes indeed, very impressive, quite correct about the Lloyd carrier I believe but this good old Airfix kit has kept us wargamers supplied for many years before any other manufacturer woke up to its sales potential (same with the Sherman :shock: )

Cheers
