The magnificent Liberator from 'Blakes 7'. Matchbox released a variety of model kits in the 1970s including ships from 'Star Trek The Motion Picture'.

the scary 'monsters' of Scooby Doo would have been right at home alongside the classic 'glows in the dark' Movie Monster series.

The prolific master of so many Airfx Model Kits of the 1960s and 1970s.

Can you image? A 144th scale model of the Sidewinder from the 'Thunderbirds' episode Pit Of Peril.

AIRFIX - MAC's JET AIR CAR
Rather curiously Airfix model cars were in 1/32nd scale - not the standard scale for cars of 1/24. 1/32nd is more typical for aircraft... this 'what if' kit would make perfect sense of this.i

DALEK FLYING SAUCER
A 'what if' from the early 1970s, from the second Dr Who feature film 'Dalek's Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. I have always loved this design and the early scenes of the film where the Daleks prowl around deserted London are very menacing.

A 'what if' model kit that I would have loved growing up. An unlikely subject from the little known 1969 sci-fi adventure film 'Captain Nemo and the Underwater City'.
