I was quite surprised to see an ad err for one of the earlier. I thought they were long dead.

This on e was for an F40 and the usual approach is still alive and well!

£2.99 for “promo first sub” then £9 thereafter. I think to complete the build you needed 100 copies!!

Anyone ever bought them?

These part works come out every year - usually just after Christmas.

I did the DB5 Bond one and they stopped it (October 19)just after I had recieved the first 20/30 issues. Got a full refund mind, and still have the issues that can be ebay'd.

I am currently in the BTTF Delorean one and that is coming on nicely. The deliveries arent as slick as they could be but its all fun and when built will look great on the shelf.

Sometimes you can buy the whole thing in one go, but only after the magazine has finished I'm sure I saw an ad for that somewhere - seem to remember the Thunderbird 2 was one of the models featured.

Still cost the absolute earth though. And you can get better ones elsewhere for less money.

The phrase, "other models are available", has never been more apt!

The ad just popped up again on this very website! It's DeAgostini Model Space:
