Dave T Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Just picked up some old Frog civil 1/96 kit's (Comet, DC-7 and a Britannia) complete with blue plastic stands, all tatty. Are any rare and/or worth restoring please ? I know now't about such things unless it's military. Example below....... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MODeller Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I suggest you strip the old paint off and make "Comrod" as "Canopus" needs a fuselage extension. Here is my effort. Not too sure with the others, maybe AHS has some decal sets that you could use. MODeller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDragon Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) Personally I'd try to restore them. Never seen any of them in a shop and I've been modelling since 1968. Two Six Decals do some 1/96th sheets for the Comet 4 and Britannia. Linky http://www.lycoseshop.co.uk/epages/twosixd...ale%20Decals%22 The only 1/96th kit I've done was the Caravelle (a Novo repop) and I didn't know they did a DC-7. Paul Harrison PS MODeller RAE Comet looks excellent. Edited May 30, 2008 by GreenDragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave T Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) Great stuff folks. Gotta love that 'Canopus' Paul, i didn't know they did the DC-7 or even the Britannia either, but i'm gonna keep the Comet and probably use those Dan-Air decals you linked to, thanks ! The rest i've put up for auction Cheers..... . Edited May 30, 2008 by Dave T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODeller Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Thanks for the comments. Just to even things up here is Canopus. Both will be on the table at Salisbury show tomorrow if you are attending. MODeller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The wooksta V2.0 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 The Britannia was released by Eastern Express in RAF markings. There's one in the loft. The RAE ones above look fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousA667 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I have a Novo Caravelle that was given to me. Looks quite nice in the box. peebeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty_hopkirk Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 (edited) Frog also produced a Vickers Viscount in 1/96 [not to be confused with the ITC/Glencoe kit] the stock livery was BEA, both Peony and 'red square'. It was also briefly issued in KLM livery. The DC-7 stock livery was BOAC, again there was a limited production run, this time in a SAS livery. Marty...
