Just an idea.....sparked by the fact that very soon i will be doing an airfix kit that was new tool in 1960
They keep punting out old kits as 'vintage classics'.........basically really old stuff that owes them nothing cos the investment in the tooling was paid off decades ago......i had a look at the current list......34 kits.....oldest 1959 newest 1977
We always slate these kits as old and tired but they are usually good fun
How about a GB where the kit was new tool before say 1980....which would make it 54+ years old......easy to check new tool date on Scalemates......wouldnt matter if your box was from 1964 or 1984 or 2004 or 2024......its the fact it was new tool pre 1980.....still the same nadgery old tooling
See if people can make a silk purse out of that pigs ear and have fun along the way
whats any one think?
