F124 or 124PK ?
HMS HERO
As part of Frogs 1964 releases the 1/500 scale Warship HMS HERO is unique in that on the box front it carries the catalogue number 124 PK but on the box ends F 124.

Between 1964 and 1974 220,00 kits were produced both in Merton and later in Margate. Other interesting points to note are that the early International Model Aircraft logo appears on the box end as well as the words: A TRI-ANG Product.
Interestingly this packing survived into the 1970’s. See some more illustrations of this model below.

Frog released a number of Warships and Merchant ships in the range including of course the South Goodwin Lightship. It is hoped to showcase some of these here.
First released in 1962 as 345p, this is Frog’s Trinity House Lightship, another model that is still in production.
