I think this is classed as a Gift Set because of the paint, paintbrush and glue that's included. None of the Vintage Classics as far as I'm aware, come with any extras so the are just kits which is why you don't see that branding on the boxes. The Aldi/Lidl offer was mainly in December, so by now I would imagine it could be hard to find any of these.....well until December 2024 at least. 👍
it's not in the current range but the 1960's Junkers 88 tooling was still sold in the red box but not a vintage classic, there's probably more but that one springs to mind.
I always miss out on Airfix kits at Aldi and Lidl but I do notice that for the next couple of weeks afterwards a few of the kits appear for sale on Facebook Market. I presume that parents buy them for kids and when the kids find out that they don't come with microchips and a mains plug they aren't interested.
I remember building this. Released the year I was born. Happy airfoil modelling days
It's a sweet little kit. I've built several in my time.

A common 'ships' v. 'chips' confusion .
so 50 years later i know it was the right decision not to buy the Cutty Sark but to stay the next 40years with the planes and tanks (:-)
