Following on from the Bloodhound topic. What kits with extra bits do you remember? Examples already mentioned are the Bloodhound with Land Rover, MP dog and handler, Short Stirling with tractor and bomb carrier. The Buffalo came with a Jeep. Any more?

What I thought was a rather nice touch was to include cases of illicit booze and machine guns in the Airfix 'Gangbusters' Lincoln. I think it was a re-boxed AMT model but could be wrong.

Never knew the hovercraft had cars with it. One of the kits that were too expensive for me.

All my parents would buy me was the SRN.1!!

Remember one of the kits I bought when I was working was the Mercury Rocket. Came with various trucks and the Launch Pad itself.
