The Chopper, the Scimitar and the Bond Bug. As the song says, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

@SamLowryDZ-015 Год назад

And the interior and chassis was used for the Whomobile commissioned by Jon Pertwee for personal appearances and used in the last year of his time on the show

@ajivins1 Год назад

Think that was an Imp based Bond 875, not this.

There's a couple of white tyre psi markings too on the decal sheet

Thats a nice painting of James May on the box front.🤣🤣🤣

I don’t know why but I was hoping the kit would be moulded in orange plastic! Probably best that it isn’t of course. I think I’ll have to get one of these.

@StevenPotts-ij9ue Год назад

Hi Gary , loved the review, I missed this kit first time around (more into planes then) so I've got one on order and cant wait to build it, cheers.

@stevejohnson4069 Год назад

Look forward to your build I’m still waiting for mine to arrive.I’ve liked and subscribed

@emmabird9745 Год назад

Hi Gary. A "Smart" before it's time. 70mpg they claimed. I was temped when I saw a "Robin" based kit (in about 1984 at Castle Combe kit car shuw) with the bug shape and 4 (!) wheels, but it never became commercially available (boo hoo). I like the tax disc, a nice touch, but a pity it isn't moulded in orange plastic just like the real thing. That would have made it easier to build for the younger audience.

@johnmarley6695 Год назад

I never heard of these cars until this Vintage Classics re-release. What a brilliant little kit! I’m astounded the engine and chassis are included. I’ll be grabbing one when they arrive in Australia.

@onixfieroandscalemodelworks 11 месяцев назад

Never heard of this car untill this kit . Thanks for the look. It’s an interesting little car. Think I’ll pick this one up.

@doctordirk6316 Год назад

Just ordered mine. I had a lift in my uncle's Reliant Regal down a switchback mountain road in Wales when I was a kid. Never again!

@leslieschramm6252 Год назад

Mine just arrived, Both have the correct shaped part, so sounds like yours was an undershot. (One in orange and one for a fantasy scheme. Maybe silver like Dr Who's hovercar)

@davidhinkson8856 Год назад

What a neat little kit and it seems as though the molds have held up well over the years.

@garys_stuff Год назад

The clear parts are completely new, everything else is as original.

@johncunningham6928 Год назад

I can still remember one review of the real car referring to it scurrying down the road like a demented wedge of red Leicester cheese...!!

@bugler75 Год назад

I really don’t remember this kit as a kid and I had to google to see if it was a real vehicle or not. I didn’t really understand everyone’s enthusiasm for it nor the eBay price of one. Until now, that is. I want one !!! Enjoy building your kits this week, Ian

@stephenoneill2526 Год назад

Hi Gary. I suspect the decal you thought was an octane warning around the fuel filler cap is actually the speedometer. In the real car, it was a very simple affair.

@bobgregory5713 Год назад

It's the octane rating that goes round the filler kneck

@ianallan8005 Год назад

Although people say it only came in orange, I have distinct memories of one in white and a lime green one during the middle seventies

@garys_stuff Год назад

I think a few were made in white for promotional purposes (including the Rothman's cigarette brand), probably the lime green ones for similar reasons?

@ianallan8005 Год назад

@@garys_stuff interesting. I wonder how §they ended up in the west end of Newcastle

@doctordirk6316 Год назад

Mine arrived yesterday complete with the undershot part, Bugger! Made a lot of old farts like me smile when this was anounced and Airfix go and blow it!

@garys_stuff Год назад

I got a replacement part today - sent the request on Monday so a two-day turnaround. very impressive but they shouldn't have to do this!

@themajesticmagnificent386 Год назад

What a poptastic model from classic Airfix and the super 70’s.!.I was really impressed by the ripple effect on the clear parts and the tax disc on the decals..I’m thinking about getting this kit now because of a tax disc impressed me.???.Yeah,I really banged my head bad yesterday🥴

@markfranks1329 Год назад

'You can have it in any colour, as long as it's orange!' Quite pleasantly surprised at the inclusion of the chassis detail for a kit of this age. It's a pity it's not to 1/24th scale, though. That would give it more parity with Tamiya/Hasegawa car kits, particularly Tamiya's range of classic British subjects such as, for example, the Lotus 7, Europa and Mini's.

Looks like I'm going to have to get a couple of these as they were also available in Lime Green, which I've still got my Corgi version also my Raleigh Chopper 50 years later WOW where's that time gone😂!!! Thanks for the review Gary 👍

Be getting it but on holiday soon be after when I'm back. Gary great Videos and I enjoy them xx thank you xx

@wonsworld61 Год назад

@martynwilliams3765 Год назад

Corgi should have re-released the diecast model at the same time.

@IanLanc 11 месяцев назад

This should have been moulded in white, help the builder get a far better orange colour.

@marksinthehouse1968 Год назад

When I was little there were a few around here had them ,the decal I think is for the Speedo not fuel , I love orange my favourite colour so much so we are thinking of that for the car we are looking at ,all the best Gary Mark😊😊

@garys_stuff Год назад

Had a closer look and the decal is about what octane to use. I'll have to do the speedo myself...!

@marksinthehouse1968 Год назад

@@garys_stuffis it blimey I always thought it was the Speedo 😂,imagine metallic orange and black roof Crome trim ,fast and furious Greenford drift 😊

@Andy.Gledhill.Models. Год назад

For once with Airfix, this kit doesn't look all that bad for its age. Sadly it doesn't look like the upper body is movable. Can't see any hinge mechanism on the instructions. I assume you can just not glue it down so it can be taken off to show the interior. I did laugh at the side of the box though. One paint call out for the figure lol.

@speedymg1962 Год назад

Hi Gary, Looks like you've got the same problem as me with Part 32 ( rear panel ) being short moulded😡

@garys_stuff Год назад

Use the Airfix spares process - email them spares (at) airfix.com, give them the information they need and I got mine delivered two days later, no charge at all. I think this is a common fault in one batch of Bond Bug kits so they are on the ball with replacements. You'll need your name and address, contact phone number, where and when you purchased the kit, the part number (part 32, rear panel, step 7 in the instructions) and the numbers on the tiny label on the box - normally on the back. Best of luck!
