When I was a child, my Grandmother used to buy me some model kits;

Around 1/43rd scale
No chrome parts
2 colours of plastic moulding, black and a colour (green/yellow etc)
No clear parts
Snapfit
Interior and engine detail
opening bonnet, doors etc

I remember there being a green 2CV and a yellow Chevy Blazer (maybe)


Don't think it was bobkit maybe something similar. It's driving me nuts!

Built many of those lovely Heller 1:43rds over the years and know they glue together, have windows and no opening parts, but couldn't think of anything that fits the description so did some googling...and I think your kits were by CGGC Grisoni. Not a lot of knowledge out there but majority of range shown here:

Dyane, Cherokee....Nova!

Yep! Well done that man! These are the droids I was looking for!!!

I don't remember the boxes being the same but they are definitely of the same style/manufacturer. Thank you! smile

I remember building the Alfa GTV6 when I was a kid, it doesn't look like they come with any glass?
