Dear All:

Thank you very much for your kind words, specially from those coming from miniaturists ;-)

And thank you very much Lorenzo for finding out the models: Sopwith Pup, D.H.5, S.E.5a, Albatross D.II and Fokker D VIII I was missing the Bristol M.

Browse the whole website, but starting with just the Coco Pops page you'll find many of these promotional mini-kits! I bought the SE5 and Albatross at a model show in Manchester.

Sometime in the 1990s when ACADEMY was starting out they did white plastic reissues of selected kits from various promotions like:

1968 Floating Model Ships issued with Kelloggs Coco Pops

1969 Space Age Models issued with Kelloggs Sugar Smacks

1972 Historic Cars issued with Kelloggs Sugar Smacks

CocaCola Philippines ran a bottlecap promotion with these in the 1970s which I all lost

Hope this was a nice trip down memory lane for some of us!

Please excuse my polymer, but allow me to present the core of the collection. From these I harvested, as in a donor program, propellers, wheels, wings, fuselages, machine guns and when I exhausted the possibilities I started to use cellulose, soda (or better beer) cans, manila folders, business cards, and wire.

Here are the original models, you will notice the imperfections of hand drawn insignias.
