Lord Ferguson Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 16cm long... 10.5cm wide... 11.5cm tall... No measurement on the box.. or the instructions. I didn't realise that Scalecraft was actually airfix !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGEL FORD Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 was it? I seem to think it was Minimodels, the early Scalextric firm? a primary school friend in the '60s had a train set by, I think, Scalecraft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 is it 1/32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Scalectrix was a subsiduary of Airfix. If you look on the Scalectrix boxes from the 1960's the Airfix logo/emblem is also printed on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess it to be a VERY rough... 1:20 scale... ish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGEL FORD Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I did a quick search last night and found mention of a Jeep by them " from the Airfix mould". There was only the 165 both in cabbed & non-cabbed versions I believe? I have a boxed cabbed version that I built up back in the 80's when no-one seemed to want them, though I must say there weren't many around the South-East swapmeets I used to frequent......I mean, I didn't want one really.... but as they were cheap...
