Roo Hawkins Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I am trying to ID some old kits can anyone help. In about 1983 or 4 I used to live in coalvill leistershire and there was a Wearhouse called hugglscote Wearhouse that used to sell anything from food to toys. One day they had some model aircraft kit and Cox engines in the code where only £1.50. I can not remember the name of the kits and I would like to build one of the gliders I had? I thick they may have been French or Spanish kits the glider I had was called aalbatross and looked like a svenson sunny and may be a copy. Can anyone help with the neme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaL Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I remember the kits - or rather I remember the sale of the kits, there was a Super60 type kit, conventional build, and a 40/60 sized sports type that had a G/F fuz IIRC, and a .25 sized sports conventional build.... there was also a glider, can't for the life of me remember the name but I seem to recall it was a short name...4 or 5 letters...grrrrrr...nope...sorry....too much has intervened!!!
