Hi
Does anyone know of a resin or plastic kit 1/32 scale of MG Midget or Austin Healey Sprite (not frogeye)
Cheers

I think that Revell made a Sprite back in the day (not frogeye) a bit overscale I reckon and getting a bit rare.

FF models made resin Sprite and Midget I think. Try sending a PM to Dave Caplan 'slotcarmann' on this forum, I think that he can help.

Boggy,
that is no longer made by FPF, who no longer exist.
Most of our old models are now owned by Dave Caplen of SMK/Slotcarmann, but the Midget/Sprite is now owned and produced by Steve Ward of Penelope Pitlane.

I hope that clarifies things.
Thanks for the interest.

Hi folks

What Martin says is true, sadly we no longer have the rights produce any more Sprites or Midgets.

However, I may have the odd one of each left in stock, from those that I bought myself.

Cheers
Dave

subtle hint... look at post 6....

 

[mgmike]

Or post 3

 

[SplitRim]

Actually #5 and #6 , not #3 as #5 cancels that out

and #6 confirms #5

It was Lindberg who made a MkII Sprite - but they are very rare and a bit too big.

Boggy,
You may want to verify that the P/P Sprite has a correct rear bumper when it is released, assuming you will build it as a road car of course. The FPF version came with Frogeye bumperettes
in the rear which were cute but not historically accurate.

Hi all
I am trying to replicate the sportcar club racing of my youth...a long time ago,so accurate rear bumpers is not a problem. A shame FPF have gone as their upcoming sebring sprite would have been a bonus,been in contact with Steve and Slotcarrman and things look promising
Cheers
