Some of the cheap kits in Series 1 in the early Seventies were very basic with poor fit and little detail - not much like the kits of today.
'Pocket Money' kits is often a claim from people who don't realise how affluent they or their close relatives were.
Absolutely. I only ever received the 1/24th kits as Christmas presents. I got the 109 and Spitfire. They must have been expensive.
