Betta Bilda Building Set Accessories

1962 -     

One of the nicer things about the Airfix Betta Bilda system was the range of specialised accessory packs, which let owners buy only the sorts of extra parts that they wanted for their next project – they didn't have to buy general sets just to get a specific sort of part.

The instruction books that we have list thirteen accessory packs (which is presumably the initial or early range): we've also seen a number 14: but a 1966 advert says that (at that point) there were more than twenty!
