Rosebud Kitmaster

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rosebud Kitmaster was the brand name of a short-lived, but critically acclaimed, range of plastic assembly kits manufactured in the UK by Rosebud Dolls Ltd of Raunds, Northamptonshire. Introduced from May 1959, the range rapidly expanded to include 34 models of railway locomotives and coaches in OO, HO and TT scales and eventually, one motorcycle in 1/16th scale. The assets of Rosebud Kitmaster were sold to Airfix Products Ltd in 1963. Nine locomotives and the motorcycke were later re-issued under the Airfix brand.
