Jabba Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Any chance of the Red/white/ Lt Grey scheme of 115 Sqn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I remember buying a resin Andover C.1 model at Telford some time ago,......is this new kit a totally new tooling or is it based on the older kit? I think that the kit that I bought was by Transport Wings or RugRat resin? Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev67 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 This is a new mould and very nice it is too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Cheers, That is good news then,......I`ll grab one and hopefully do it in red white and grey E.3 colours. Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 First I have seen of this. Definitely of interest to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev67 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Just got mine down from the loft, OK, a word of warning don't leave these resin models up in the loft, because I have found out to my dismay that the wings and fuselage have warped, should be OK though placed in hot water but this resin is very soft and if your loft gets warm like mine, then its best taking out and leaving some where cooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldmodels Decals Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 sloegin57 - I have been informed the kit contains upright undercarriage legs only. Jabba - 115 Sqn scheme unlikely unless S&M commissions this from me for a later production run. General update - decals and white metal done, resin in production. On track for release at both shows. Test shot on its way to me - when I get it I'll post a pic on my website. John www.oldmodelsdecals.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xvtonker Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I emailed S&M Models last week to get an update on availability and pricing, but haven't received a reply yet. XVTonker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldmodels Decals Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 XVTonker - the availability is it will be released at TELFORD (UK) and Karapiro (NZ) on sat 8 Nov. The screen shot from my website is for pre-show (Karapiro) orders only. Oldmodels Decals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evalman Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Mine arrived a couple of days ago. Having had a very quick play with the parts I would say there are no real issues for a kit of this type, the parts are nicely moulded and overall it's very good . I'll probably wait a while before starting this kit just in case some 115 Squadron decals appear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev67 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Looks nice, but as I have said in my previous post don't leave it in the loft or some other warm place, the resin is soft and will distort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I would love both 748 and Andover, shame my piggy bank don't stretch that far at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I'll probably wait a while before starting this kit just in case some 115 Squadron decals appear. I will hope to pick one up this weekend, and then like yourself wait for someone to produce some 115 Sqn markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousLL45 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 looks good, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm fancy one myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Cornes Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Me to, I think we are looking at around £70 so not cheap but looks very nice. Funny how we all want an E3! I bet Xtradecal slip one on some sheet somehow but the kit stencils look great so that's one headache eliminated! I assume the glazing is in clear resin?

chris57 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Picked mine up yesterday morning, only three left by mid afternoon, looks good, who scored & who missed out?. I like the news about the Viking and the 146. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 146?? Please share... I missed/forgot to go find the S&M stand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xvtonker Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Right, now Telford is over & done with, when are we going to find out how much we're going to have to pay?????????????? XVTonker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Cornes Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Yup, mine acquired on Saturday morning. Not cheap at £75 but looks well thought out. Was at Cosford this morning looking at their E3 so I must compare the lumps and bumps in the kit with the real thing! Alistair McLean (A2Zee) was there - in fact he popped up all over the place! - and he is doing some mastering for Mel and Colin (Freightdog) What 146 ? !!!

Glen Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Viking, 146, 111 (400 series and earlier), VC10 planned for the next few years. I think Mel is planning one a year for each Telford. Guess my half scratch built 146 will definitely never get finished! I only started it 20 years ago I bought one of the Andovers. Really nice casting and detail but the decals are very disappointing for a £75 kit. The colour density is not good on the serials and they seem to be slightly out of register.

tonyot Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I didn`t manage to get over and buy an Andover as I kept getting sidetracked every time I tried to check out Hall 1,.........bummer! Cheers Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty_hopkirk Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) The Andover does not interest me - but how does one go about buying the S&M HS 748? Marty... Edited November 11, 2014 by marty_hopkirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris57 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Mels next outing will be at the Kempton Park Toy show as I was hoping to catch up with him regarding the Viscount 800. Alternatively AJ Aviation always carried S&M products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
