It's a different sequence and that not every partwork is the same length in each country. You also have to take into consideration exchange rates/taxes plus any additional costs to be able to bring this title to the UK.

It would be great if DeAgostini ever thought of doing a 1/8 FAB 1... That would be amazing when you look at Graham Bleathman's cutaway picture... http://arthurtwosheds.de...erbirds-FAB-1-551916081

Yes a 1/8 or even 1/6 FAB1 would be awesome

At 1/6 scale the model would be 3'6" long...
That's 106 cm...
The 'real' car is supposedly 21' long.
Even at 1/8 it would be 30" long.

And I imagine that to get the 4 front wheels to steer properly yet be simple enough for a partwork would be a huge challenge, never mind the large 'glass' canopy. Still, a 1/10th scale would be wonderful, and I would have to get it as soon as I could afford it. Current Builds

A company called ENA did a 22" resin kit of FAB 1 many years ago, as well as 22" Supercar.
I had both but like a burke, sold them.
I wish I had those models now.

Or how about a couple still based on the worlds of Gerry Anderson, but utilising the re-appearance of several of the models. I'm thinking of both the Joe 90 'explosives' truck which went on to appear with different paint jobs in other series - and may have been a repaint from a previous appearance, and the Thunderbirds 'radio truck' which also carried explosives for a mining operation in another episode, and probably appeared with different loads at other times too.

And there was the yellow Crablogger model that was painted red and became a road laying machine in a different episode...
