The KV Wooster range of aircraft models were produced in several series:

 

World Airlines Series

The standard series of 1/200 and 1/250th scale models, numbers being prefixed by 'W' running from W001 to W718.

 

 

Super Series

A series of larger 1/100th scale models, largely consisting of types from Dornier, SAAB and British Aerospace.  Model numbers were prefixed by 'S' although they also had a 'W' series number.  The Super Series was largely supplied in dark blue printed boxes.

 

 

Nostalgia Series

A series of models sold in their own 'Nostalgia' boxes featuring defunct colour schemes, having been previously marketed in the World Airline series.  Model numbers were prefixed by 'N' and the boxes featured a dark blue and red scheme.

 

 

Classic Series

A short run of extra quality Boeing 707 models was produced featuring classic schemes from airlines such as Qantas, BOAC and Pan Am.   With numbers prefixed by 'C', the models were supplied in green printed boxes.

 

 

Harrods Series, Hamleys Series, WH Smith Series

A selection of models taken from the World Airline range but boxed in individual retailers boxes.

 

 

Military Series

One model was produced in this series, a Saab Gripen which was Numbered M1.  As with the other models, it had a 'W' number.

 

 

British Airways Series

Several British Airways Boeing 747-400 models were produced, differing from the standard models by way of an added aircraft name and an equivalent named stand.  They were numbered inthe 'BA' series with equivalent 'W' numbers.

 

 

Pan Am Series

Similarly, a number of named Pan Am Boeing 747-200 and 737-200 models were produced with a 'PA' series number.

 

 

Limited Editions

One 'Limited Edition' model was produced in a Braniff  Boeing 747-200 orange scheme and numbered 'NE1'.  Several other limited editions were made within the standard 'W' range, such as an Air Canada special A319, JAL MD-11 and Boeing 747-300.   These were largely marketed in white boxes with 'Limited Edition' titles and numbered certificates.

 

 

Specials

Other 'special' models were produced, often to commemorate special events and usually in limited quantities.  Examples include a BAe146 produced in Glasgow Rangers promotional scheme, a Spanair MD-80 in 10th anniversary colours and a Continental Boeing 757 with an 'inaugural flight' from Birmingham base.

 

 Other specials produced included larger scale 'solid plastic' Concordes, a solid Airbus A320 and a solid Boeing 767 in TWA scheme.
