72-scale Blackburn Airedale - needing directions

[George_Oh]

G'Day all. I've just joined Britmodeller. I started vacform kit - a 72-scale Blackburn Airedale - some years ago. It has few parts, so I gotta come-up with the rest. But in the intervening years, I've lost the instructions. I don't even recall the brand of the kit.

Can anyone assist me?

I've gleaned some info from the Internet.

Many thanks (in advance). George, out..................

Something makes me want to say Airframe - does it have a yellow card header on the bag? I have some Airframe kits (somewhere in the stash) but I don't believe I have an Airedale.

Airframe, as Kevin says. Here's a built one: http://airfixtributeforum.myfastforum.org/Airframes_1_72_Blackburn_Airedale_41__about45974.html. And if it works, this is a link to the kit: http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/airframe-72-scale-plastic-vacform-kit-513842514 .

Many thanks, Kevin & Paul. It probably IS an Airframe vacform kit. I can't see too many kits of this aircraft being produced by other manufacturers. The photos of the built model, and the internet diagrams I've got, will probably get me over the line (IF I can get some modelling time).

Wish me luck. George, out..............................

The only kit was by Airframe and the original drawings appeared in Aeromodeller. The engine was a Jaguar III. and the propellers fitted were a metal Leitner -Watts and later a Fairey-Reed
