Lord Riot Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Fabulous little model that. I remember seeing the occasional 207 sqn Devon flying into Woodford. Always intrigued me how old they were with their 'VP' serials older than Vampires and Venoms yet still in service in the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I like that a lot, I've one to do as a RNZAF one come the day. I've long thought these were a very attractive aircraft. You finished article catches that so well. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMB Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Superb! I photographed that actual aircraft at Upavon in June 1962, brought in a VIP for the 50th Anniversary of Military Aviation air show. The aircraft was in superb condition and the metal was very highly polished as I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I found out I have sinus problems. By the way, Very nice done model of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Zeller Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I’m just flipping through posts looking for useful info and ideas after having managed to get ahold of Magna Models 1/48 Sea Devon. I have to say this build took my breath away! Just a beautiful build! Definitely set the bar quite high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev67 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I often asked Airfix at Telford if they would do a Devon/Dove either in 1/72 or 1/48, as the aircraft served all over the world in military and civil roles, but I suppose as it does not fire missiles or drop bombs it would not sell very well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
