I saw this one on the 'bay, AMERICANA Kit # 15 Bantam Roadster 1938 1/43,
I saw this one on eBay (U.S.) and started to order it, but then I remembered and looked up at a small display unit and there it is:
I have no personal involvement with this offer, but for those who like or are even interested in 1/43 kits, this older Mikansue Americana is a gem. I built mine (pictured here) a while back and still like it. It compares well with a similar one by Rapide that is parked beside it in my display. Oh yes, the bus atop the unit is not a Bantam.
Enjoy! David H

Good thing you checked David. Two or three times in the last 5 years I've bought a model, only to find I already had it. Gotta finish my spreadsheet!

Great little model. I am not into kits, but I'd like to find an already assembled version. I don't have any of these.
Without my spreadsheet, I would be in serious trouble, it's the only thing that keeps me organized.

John, here's my Rapide 1938 Bantam, 1/43 in a heavy metal. The figures are some folks who hang around here. Rapide is made in England, but I think this Bantam dates from several years ago. It's a very good model. Inver also made a good one. Happy hunting!

Hmm - sounds like a deal being made. I missed out on the Inver Bantam roadster too, if someone has a spare.
