Been watching "The Prisoner" series again. Thought of maybe getting a large scale Lotus Seven series II. If anyone has one they would like to off load, let me know. Thanks, Scott.

Tamiya.

Excuse if I misunderstood, but Tamiya's is still available I believe. Or did you want to buy used and help out a fello HSer? Or were you thinking bigger than 24th? If so, who made a larger scale SII kit? I'd be interested.

Great TV show. Have you had a look at Danger Man and Secert Agent too? Dated yes, but McGoohan is so cool.

I sure would like to help my fellow Hyperscalers....

instead of buying from a corporation. 1/24 would be just fine. Not really into cars, so I am not all that savvy on what is out there kit wise. So if anyone here has one collecting lots of dust, I would be happy to take it off their hands for a reasonable price. I think Danger Man was the British title for Secret Agent, which is what the American release of the series was called. Both of those shows plus The Saint and The Avengers were great 1960s television. McGoohan was the best. Born in New York.

Tamiya 24th and 12th.

In 24th Tamiya has offered this for many yrs. You should have no trouble finding this kit in shops, webstores or eBay. It's pretty close for #6's Lotus 7 S2. Narrow rear fenders, clamshell front fenders, narrow tires, no roll bar,

They also make this 12th super kit. Wide S3 type rear fenders, louvered hood, roll bar and very wide modern wheels/tires. Not to mention a very modern 200+ hp hot rod motor. #6's prob had a 1.2 to 1.5 liter BMC putt putt worth about 80-100 hp.

Should you go the 12th route be aware that they also made a version w/ the small front 'cycle' fenders. Shop around. The kit is $$$ yes but prices do vary widely.
