Avro730

I managed to get 2 E Boats in the last year, the first at €25 and the second with a Vosper, both mint, for €28 the pair , note euros as I’m in France so effectively £20 and £23.40 so I’m still happy and even happier that the rescue boat can now complete the line up.

Lincoln already done in a parallel universe!

Many thanks jeff.M

Hello All , Does anyone have a built HMCS Snowberry in 1/144. I have been asked to build one and mount in a display case. Whilst I await arrival of the kit I would like to start the case. What I need is the distance from the keel to the top of the highest mast in mm if anyone can oblige, absolute accuracy not essential as I will add a bit to the height anyway for aesthetic purposes. Appreciate any help on offer. Thanks in advance.

Well I did , and its not a happy story, yes its basic by todays standards but thats not the issue, ( recently finished the Pyro Bulldog and guess what was announced just after I started it!) Anyway the Jag is in the "hold" for now and I've got on with another important aeroplane to me in real life, the Revell edition of the Hasegawa Learjet 35 which is very good and tallys up with my recolections of the real thing. For some reason I had three sets of flaps/slats for the Jag which was just as well as I could only make one complete set out of the three, now fitted. I will, for the benifit of the greater modelling public, return to the jag but just need a break from it for now, consider it R&R.

Ill just leave this here...

So as we all know when "one" starts an old or flawed kit ( and im not sayning the old Jaguar was flawed, but it is old) I have pulled this out of the stash. And just add this and as we all know the result will be this... Just ask for it on the stand at Telford.

Hello TonyW, I think it was on a FB group dedicated to Woolworths, really for ex employees but searched to group and came up with this (above). I have just (5 mins ago ) found another on pintrest , dont think its woolies but clearer see below;-

Apologies to TonyW for jumping on his post but it seems that this would be the place to get an answer to this question Hello all. Hoping someone here can help. I’m working on a project for another forum that I’m on featuring classic Airfix. I’m trying to find a photo of the Airfix displays usually seen in Woolworths in the 1960’s with assembled models displayed above the sales counter. The photo I have isn’t clear enough for my needs. If anyone has a lead or pointers as to where I might find one prefably in colour please let me know. Thanks in advance.

As some years have now passed, perhaps there is a conversion set available? or failing that anyone done a scratch conversion or a list of the differences?

Ive just got the -800 and a -400 or series 1 would be great, perhaps it could include the TFE731 engines for the fan 400 as an option (and then I can fan my -600 !

Harry - Thats understood, its a very niche market general Aviation, I was just hoping that it was a glitch and should be lower, but keep up the good work, suggestion - Beagle Pup?

Looks a nice kit and I was on the VFR website only a short while ago thinking about the AA5 Tiger but can anyone enlighten me as to why its so much more expensive than the other kits (£36) compared to the Aerostar at £27?

Just ordered the Argosy and Beverly and this will do nicely, now pushing my luck how about a Tudor and a Hermes? i was luck enough to fly in a Hastings, 1977 I think , and did air to air photo shoot with BoB Spitfire and Hurricane, Probably my second aviation high spot after first solo.
