wallyinoz Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Hello all, I have recently finished a 1/72 vac Britannia and was looking for a Vanguard kit to be a companion for it.. (I loved Kev67 rendition of this kit) Kev67 gave me a an email address of the chap that produced the kit, the last production run was in the 90's. Anyway I bought one As a community service I thought I'd let this esteemed group know that he has just one kit left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Densil at Welsh Models was mulling about the possibility of producing a Vanguard a year or so back, but so far it doesn't seem to be happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that now that you mention it.. if all things were equal though I do prefer working with plastic rather than resin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britman Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Don't worry Wally, I know how it is with these things. I sold my Airways Britannia after a few years of storage pending construction. I felt that I could have made a good stab at it ,however my feeling was that the results would not satisfy me. I sold it on for someone else to try. Take your time and enjoy your next project. Keith.

Jessica Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I haven't got my modelling space set up in the new house yet, so I'm obliged to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 And it's arrived! Woof! This is olde school modelling at its best Gene's instructions call for a complete balsa framework to be built inside the plastic shells before gluing them together. If anyone wants a look inside the box, it may be seen in all its glory in the first post of Kev's WIP thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 It seems to be complete. I've got all the necessary parts to make one Vanguard as seen in the photos. We may need to compare once more when your kit arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
