CLASSIC RANA: A TRUE FROG

One for the Toad. A whopper too, the Giant American Bull Frog kit! Bet it needed a whole tube of glue! I first saw this in the 90's when I bought a brilliant book on vintage model kits called 'Classic Plastic', which I enjoy browsing though from time to time. Similarly pleasurable tomes on my shelf are Board Games, More Board Games, Spin Again [I like old Board game box art!], Aurora Models and Toys of the Sixties by the pioneering Bill Breugman and Collecting Monster Toys by the ever-rewarding John Marshall. What's on your bookshelves, collecting or otherwise?

What probably passes over the heads of those of you who are not members of either the familes Ranidae or Bufonidae, is that this is our equivalent of the "Build Your Own Marilyn Monroe" kit Dave Lister bought for Kryten.

Trust me, that Giant American Bull Frog is hot!!!
