There are also a few other Alpine / tiger models..
Scalextric the slot racing car company made a yellow Tiger around 5
inches long complete with chrome bumpers and electric motor. Anyone else
got a slot racing Tiger who wants a Trans-Atlantic challenge 8-)
Husky - made a die cast metal series 3 Alpine in gold with a removable
blue hard top.
there is the AMT Tiger kit mentioned below in 1/25 scale - kit ref 2003
and can be assembles as either a stock or custom version. Another E Mail
says the CAT club has these, would someone please E Mail me to confirm
that they are still available - thanks
'Spot on' the UK model company owned by Triang made a die cast early
Series Alpine in several color schemes.
Revell made a Series 3 Alpine model in 1/32 scale kit ref H-1255
In the Uk, the model railway system Hornby, had a car transporter rail
wagon which had a model series 4 Alpine of 1/100 scale in blue with
clear windows and hard top. The model range was called 'Minix'
There are also a few 1/43 scale die cast kits of either Tiger or Alpine
(you sand off the side strips and leave of an exhaust !) made by EnCo.
The main benefit about rebuilding any of the above is that the roll over
frame its on your desk and the rebuild is a bit lighter on your bank
account.
BEWARE - I hear an unscrupulous model owner in LA is trying to do a V8
Alger conversion on an imported right hand drive 'Husky' 1/72 scale
Series 3 Alpines, he may try to pass it off as a fully TAC'd Tiger
prototype - Steve Sage are you still out there 8-) !!!! (Tom Hall, can
you spot original micro rivets)
Another recent piece of momorabilia was the UK TIger clubs phone card
(now sold out).
I guess there are probably more ?.........
