Wow. Apart from the planes I had all those models as a kid .Does anyone remember the benghal lancer complete with horse?

I do remember the Bengal Lancer but at my age and with a working class family it remained just a dream.

That said many of the same scale figures i did manage to make.

Limited money for paints and if you remember that stuff they called cement rather than glue.

The early cheap metal tubes had you break off a metal plug at which point, if warmed by your hands, the cment used to shot out off the end.

Run a thin edge of cement around the plastic part, join the 2 bits together and squeeze and the stuff used to come out all over the place.

Yes indeed fond memories of being young, and fond memories of a christmas long ago when i had the hercules in that tan camo colour with the jeep and missle kit, terrible RAF police with a 3 legged guard dog and i was in my element.

At that age it was get it together asap rather than trying to achieve any brilliance of build.

Remember my younger brother had the airfix b29 was it, the big rounded front bomber with half a trillion bombs to glue together.

I finished first and still managed to have a working ramp on my Hercules

Happy days they certainly were.

.

What a great idea to bring back those golden oldies! Yes, I had that Black Prince along with quite a few of the other 1/12th's and I still have the Bengal Lancer waiting in his box (though he probably won't be ending up as the lancer!)
If I remember correctly, I had that Beaver too, didn't it come with floats as well?

Happy memories!
