Colin1967 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Check out my Savage build, around page 5 I start another for a customer... so little pics from there on, but it is due an update soon on the second kit. It is worse than mine but I've sorted all the main fit issues. Linky Hi Radleigh, Thank you very much for the personal reply and link which I have viewed - That's what I call proper modelling - Skills I don't have and you do, loved reading about the build ! Yes. it has put me off abit, but, I do like the A.W. Argosy, so, may take a chance on this one. Also, thank you for the video too of an Argosy flying, much appreciated, kind regards Colin.

Thank you very much for your reply and link - I have read and must say that I am a little put off, both you and Radleigh have wonderful modelling skills, which I appreciate and will learn from - I'm more of an OOB guy and kit basher, although I would quite like an A.W. Argosy in my collection, so, maybe I will and have ago at building one up. Model filler is allways my downfall!! Thank you for your time in replying to me, kind regards Colin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev67 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 With the price you pay for these kits Mach 2 should sort out the clear parts, don't no what this kit will be like though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff_B Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Hannants have updated the links with the price plus the usual pre-order 10% off offer. So the RRP appears to be £45, although that price may be less at the show. To me I class that as affordable for a limited run injection kit of that size of a subject unlikely to be covered by a mainstream supplier and half the price of a resin equivalent, so I'll still be buying one if not two as some interesting projects now possible using this as a base kit. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to search a couple of French online shops and see what they ask 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albeback52 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I still have nightmares about the Mach 2 Valiant and DC-4!! however, for an Argosy.............................................!!!!!

Radleigh Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 £45 is good, afterall, you get a lot of plastic...... thick plastic 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 That is indeed a pretty good price, I know it's in a different league, but only a fiver more than an Airfix Shack.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackman Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Oh man, I love that desert camo one. I was thinking the same thing. Out of the ordinary schemes are so exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 But that was a pretty ordinary scheme back then! Argosy, Beverley, Andover, Twin Pioneer, Hercules - they were all painted in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 It's a good price, the Seamaster and Caravelle are now £54 each, and just think of the hours of enjoyment modelling pleasure you will get from it compared with Tamigawa, and they would charge more! I'm having one in Transport Command colours, to go with my S&M Haystack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general melchett Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I agree £45 is very reasonable for a kit of this size, personally I'm looking forward to it . As Geoff says there are several unflown projects that can be realised using this as a base kit... a subject unlikely to be covered by a mainstream supplier Like with the Valiant though Geoff, S*%s law's bound to strike !
