[Closed] Does anyone remember Revell Cadet kits?

I think the scales must have been variable Harv come to think of it.

The Morris did seem larger. I remember the following: Ford Consul, Rover 3 litre, VW Karman Ghia, Vauxhall Cresta, Morris Minor Traveller. The chrome parts were cast in silver plastic and there was a sheet of clear acetate that was supposed to be suitable for the complex curves of the windows...ho ho.

John, I learn so much from these Fora, thank you for this bit of Airfix history.

I remember those windows John, and what a bear it was to paint the wood trim without getting any paint on the body.

I think some IMC 2E parts are up in the attic!

There was also the Cougar II show car, which I customized. I also had the J-car.

There was another kit range - 1:48 Renwall Showcase Series

There were a lot of these, in multi-colored plastic so that painting was not really necessary. Standouts include a 1902 Rambler, 1903 Curved-Dash Olds, Miller 91, and there were some 1930's classics but I can't remember which.

Revell and Renwal had a green 1:48 1931 Cadillac and both are the same. Revell also had a 1930 Packard. I have the three of them not yet built.

Harvey, the body of the Cougar II had a red/burgandy metal flake finish to it, if I remember right. There was also a late 40's Ford convertible.

Paul - right about the Cougar color, mine has been "customized" as a race car and is yellow and dark red! (OK, I did this as a kid).

I remember the Ford, and I believe it was a '48.

Great memories, Harvey
