Airfix - Gold State Coach

[RichB]

Can anyone else remember Airfix making a model of the Gold State Coach? I can distinctly remember building this as a kid, say around the mid-'60s. Used loads of goldpaint and could never get the cherubs to glue on because of all the paint!

I just looked on the internet and could not see any images of this, as if it ever existed. There is one reference to a Airfix Gold State Coach but it not actually that, it's the Lord Mayor's Coach, similar but no cigar.

Does anyone remember this? Can anyone find a picture of the kit? :sratchchin:

Is this it?

Coronation coach rather than State coach by the look of it.

That one in the Shropshire local paper is erroneous because it's actually The Lord Mayor's Coach, although the lady thinks it's the Coronation Coach but as you can see, it's not.

This is the Lord Mayor's Coach and the model is the same.

That's it the Paramount one - the State Coach. I thought it was Airfix but perhaps not. That's certanly the one I tried to build.
