Did at one time a model kit was made of the famous car from Disney’s movie, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?
I think, but am not sure, that this is the finished model of the kit above:
Now I’ve got to go on the hunt for one myself. No doubt it’s gonna carry a high price for a model kit. LOL! Very nice kit by the way. What scale was it?
Beats the heck outta me. I just found them by doing a Google search.

brassbow that is outstanding! Too bad they dont make movies like that anymore. (or am i just getting old and crotchety???) IIRC one of the model mags did an article on this. Think it was FSM or Scale Modeler
The original book was written by Ian Fleming.
My bad… $500. $300 is the starting bid. Again…
YIKES!
That is pretty awesome!
That was one of my favorite books in my early years at school, but I never saw the movie. The book seems to be hard to find today; sometime back, I wanted to buy a copy for one of my friend’s children but couldn’t find any. Now his kids are too old for it.
Gorgeous model, by the way![Y][Y]
Hello there. Being new to this forum, I decided to jump in here with my build of the 1968 Aurora kit. For a 45 year old model, all the parts were in great shape. Some scratch-building and part modifications were made as well. The body was hand painted as well as the pin-striping. I bought this kit in pristine condition years ago from an online model broker who was clearing out his stock- the right place at the right time. At 1/25 scale, it goes well with my Tom Daniel car collection. Thanks.
