Hi, I'm trying to organize my stash. I've noted that I've far more models than I'me ever going to build. Most of the ones I'm going to sell off are British aircraft. So, if anyone is looking for something specific, drop me a line and, if I have it, I'll give you a price and let you know how much it will cost to ship it. I'm not looking to make a fortune on these, I just want to send them to someone who will build them. Thanks!

Hi, I've got a 1/48 Fairey Gannet AEW kit. It's a resin kit. Since I don't I think I'll ever get around to building it, I'm going to sell it on Ebay, along with a 1/48 Classic Airframes Fairey Gannet ASW kit and a 1/48 Dyavector Fairey Gannet ASW kit. I don't remember how much I paid for them, so I'll have to research the subject to determine how much I'll want to sell them for. Bear with me. I'll send another message when I'm ready to list them.

Hello, I managed to buy a resin AEW kit on Ebay. I don't know who the manufacturer is...the box says it's from Iceland. Nick

Hi, the kit looks pretty nice, although it's awfully heavy. The fuselage is hollow, the radome is solid , as well as the wings. They do reccommend using metal landing gear due to the weight of the aircraft, since it's resin. I was planning to rob the metal gear from my Dynavector kit and substitute the gear from the resin kit in the Dynavector kit. I'll probably build the Dynavector kit aas anCOD aircraft. I have the Airwaves wing foild set...I really don't know if I'll use it though. I was going through my stash and realized that I've got quite a few models of British aircraft that I'll never build. I'm seriousl considering offering them for sale on Ebay. I'll have to determine how much I want to charge for them. Thanks again, Nick

The AEW Gannet has a completely different undercarriage to the AS/COD air-frames. You might be better going through the Albion Alloys list and making your own. SAC make some British undercarriages but IMHO they are pretty useless. Tony O'Toole has had issues with them bending as have I.
Airwaves wing fold DON'T DO IT!!!!!! One of our club members has given up on one project in his life the Dynavector kit with the wing fold set. He is seriously good to the stage of designing his own photo-etch.
I'd try the For Sale section here on BM rather than eBay. As a club never had a single issue on BM but too many on eBay. One of our members died suddenly 4 years ago and we were asked to dispose of his stash. Good job I could get a Class 2 curtain sider as there were several thousand. The money handler recently mentioned that we'd gained 3K from commission savings and were down to less than a hundred kits.Better in your pocket than eBay's.
Thanks for the information about the AEW, I think I've been persuaded now.
Cheers
Nick

Do you recall when the article on the 1/72 RA5-Cto A5A conversion was published in Finescale Modeler? I have all back issues, back to #1. I also have the 1/48 Cutting Edge A3J-1/ A5A conversion for the RA-5C. It would be 'way too large. I'll probably want to sell that one.
