Mark Wheeler1707820299 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 The old Lyons Maid/Kitmaster/Airfix Fireball XL5 is just about THE HOLY GRAIL kit for me now, and I would love this to be re-issued if the tools still exist. If nothing else, it would be great if Airfix could at least confirm if they have them or if they are indeed lost. If you have it, pleasee reissue - I'll buy three at least (I seem to recall there were quite a few Fireballs - how about a decal sheet with multiple registrations!!!!!!!!!

john_clark1 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Couldn't agree more - especially now that we have lost Gerry Anderson.I would love to see this kit again and the Eagle Transporter from Space:1999:In fact any Gerry Anderson machines.

airfixbuilder Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I Would definately get this if it came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Douglas Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'd also like to see the Dalek they did as well, it doesn't need to have the electronics bits or the not-so-wonderful set of paints - or come to think of it the diorama. But it was a good and unique Dalek that came and went far too soon. Guess the licence ran out or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratch Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Again the Stingray was made for Lyons Maid.I have a feeling that the moulds were destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Douglas Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 That would be a shame if it was. Does anyone know how big it was. I imagine about 6-8 inches - and what scale? (Does scale even count when you're talking about puppets?!?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Just checked and both the Fireball XL5 & Stingray moulds were lost.http://i422.photobucket.com/albums/pp303/BACAIRFIX/Airfix%201960s/1964SStingLabelatfarnoldjbilgepump.jpghttp://i422.photobucket.com/albums/pp303/BACAIRFIX/Airfix%201960s/1964SStingBoxatfarnoldjbilgepump.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grant_barlow Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Would be very interested in XL5, along with any other Anderson kits. Bring it on (forget the blue tits, unless they come with RAF markings)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
