Re: [T3] model kits of the notchy kind?

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

I've a photo somewhere of a remote control Fastback about 30 to 40 cm long (12 -
15") that was for sale at the Malvern VW meeting in the UK .  You held a
(battery?) box and the wires carried the power to make the model drive and turn
I think (not radio control).  Shame there isn't any normal plastic kit, but then
again, I've not yet made the old Beetle cabrio kit I got years ago!
