Plastic Buildings

Tri-ang introduced a range of self-assembly plastic building kits known initially as 'Real Estate' and sold in red boxes. They were later renamed 'Model-Land' and came in blue boxes.

They were manufactured by the International Model Aircraft Ltd. (part of Lines Bros.), who made such items as the Frog range of plastic kits. Some of the buildings and models listed were not actually produced and some are still made and sold in plastic bags by Dapol.
