1977 saw only a single new kit - but what a useful one! I still think of this as a fairly new kit. A rather more involved build than most Airfix kits, the Bofors - and more particularly the Morris tractor - rewards a degree of care and patience.
This pair serve as the LAA Regiment of 5 Indian Division.

I was given one of these several years ago. Still haven't built it...

Best get on with it then! It's still a pretty good kit.
I think one of the best of the old Airfix issues.
It's very accurate with no dumbing down of the parts, but you are on the money when you mention the degree of skill needed to polish her off.
Really useful crew as well.
Lots of scope for conversions.
Nice post Tim.

I do have some conversions of the Morris - but like so much else I couldn't find them for the photos. I'll have another look soon....
A lovely kit.
I see Oxford diecast have just released the gun in brown and it seems to have sights, which are only available as etched brass add -ons for the Airfix one

Sights? I think your standards must be rather higher then mine Will! I'll settle for a gun with a barrel!
