The style and build of your planes reminds me of a Kiel Kraft Ace. I still have a Kiel Kraft Gipsy my dad built in the early 70's.

Just looking at Amazon, I was surprised to see just how expensive model kits seem to be now. The Airfix 'Dambusters' Lancaster I built in the 70s is now £37 and the RRP is north of £40. I remember buying Airfix kits in their 'series 1' range - they came in bags rather than boxes - and they were about 25p circa 1976.
Also, I had dozens of those boxes of Airfix HO-oo scale soldiers, even the astronauts and Tarzan boxes. I had 3 of the Airfix playsets, the pontoon bridge assault set, gun emplacement set and French Foreign Legion fort set. I think there was also a Robin Hood set featuring a castle and maybe others. Those little soldiers soon became mixed up and I stored them in old metal tins left over from Christmas shortbread.Comment

I know that around September 1985 Kellogg's Corn Flakes gave free model aeroplane kits inside their cereal boxes which needed to be assembled a la the toy in the Kinder Surprise eggs - Kellogg's advertised them on TV around that time, and a Thames TV off-air of the Superman film on the 5th of that month contained a Kellogg's advert promoting them in one of the ad breaks. Someone who was in my class at school (First Year Juniors) had taken one to school with him and annoyed our teacher when he played with it in class.I've everything I need to keep me satisfied
