A very rare built model of the Frog Bloodhound missile in large 1/24th scale. The model is quite competently made having regard to the paints and materials available 50 years ago. No paint has been used on the launcher which is moulded in olive coloured plastic save for a few small details picked out in silver.

The missile measures approx 31cms from the tip of the tail to the tip of the nose. Mounted on its' launcher in extended position it measures 29cms from the ground to the tip of the nose.  

The missile can be removed from the launcher and the launcher also revolves 360 degrees plus it can be raised and lowered.

The model was issued between 1960 and 1962 and was quite expensive. Although its' release coincided  with ex Renwal military kits by Frog  these were in 1/32nd scale and the Bloodhound in 1/24th did not really fit in with this series. All of these reasons contributed to the kit not being a great seller hence its' rarity today.

The kit included 4 rubber like crew figures but these are not present. However it is the missile and launcher that are the kit so this is maybe not such a major issue. There are no box or plans.

It is a difficult one to price. Just about the only way to get one would be to buy a kit and make it although this is unlikely to happen! I am open to serious offers and will happily answer any questions. The model can also be viewed by arrangement.

I will post it to the UK via Special delivery in good packing upon receipt of cleared payment .

Prospective purchasers from abroad, or those with negative/zero  feedback, should contact me before bidding. I will then confirm the postage costs which will be via 'signed for' insured airmail services only. Please note I will not post to Greece or Italy.

If you have any further questions please ask.
