Pioneer 2 put out some interesting models, but these can be real bears to make and you have to add a bit of your own detailing.

Pegasus models are another one that can be a real challenge, locator pins, not on this one. These make the Pioneer 2 models look a bit easy to put together,

Great thread,
CC you brought back some happy memories.
I built every prop plane that Airfix made, about 200 if memory serves me.

Many of these are from the late 60s early 70s.

It just shows how many nice models they made in the Golden Era of models.....You don't see these around to much anymore..
Back then i like the way the plastic felt it was a lot thicker then they are now...But if i recall there were a few cheap companies making models with
the thinner plastic and i didn't care for them too much back then.
This is really nice to see these again....Keep them coming for all to see..

The Airfix Meteor was also a pretty good kit too. Kind of wish someone would do this version in diecast.

I had a De Haviland Beaver that was pretty close to being vacuform thin. Not sure, but think Comet, maybe Strombecker might have put some of these out. Not particularly good kits.
