Hi

Just curious - I have a 1/43 white metal kit of a Clan Crusader which I'm hoping to dispose of to a good home / appreciative audience (one of probably five kits ever cast / built / sold, by all accounts).

Would I be correct in thinking that the Clan Crusader was never the subject of a built - or kit - model (in any material or scale)?

I think you’re probably right.

As it happens one of the other four TW models is currently up on eBay at £125….

Excuse me for being dim but how do you have a kit if a kit was never made?

Apologies, Simpo Two - having re-read my post I absolutely take your point!

I was attempting to convey / enquire whether my kit - one of five kits handcast by 'TW Collection' - was rare in that 'TW' is / was the sole constructor of models addressing the Clan Crusader as subject matter.

Hoping my above post clarifies.

There may be more. The website "Grand Prix Models" specialises in 1/43 model kits of all sorts - not just Grand Prix cars.

https://www.grandprixmodels.com/

I've had a quick search on their site but nothing shows up.
