bigbadbadge Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Hi Laurie I'm in, got a couple left in the stash one Heller and on Rareplanes Vacform, which I bought last week. I have built this kit before and it is a wonderful kit. There is a photo Etch set for these but another BMer was looking for some recently without any joy either. Good luck with your build Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with your build Chris Hi Chris Thanks for looking in. I had a good scout around but apart the the wing struts nothing at all. Thanks on a better wicket than a Mach2 that is for sure.Mach 2 the bails were always off. Laurie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 This will fall together compared to the Mach 2 Viscount. Yes there doesn't seem to be any of the other PE around at mo. The other one has the cockpit details and IP Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bradley Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) It's a very nice kit, Laurie - I built one in BEA colours a few years back and it went together really nicely. Certainly a nice palette cleanser after that Mach 2 kit! Incidentally, it was Whirlybirds that did a detail set for this kit - the set includes decals for two Dragon Rapides operated by British European Airways during the 1950’s, specifically G-AFEZ and –AGSH. Did either of those operate out of Jersey? A small etched brass fret has a new instrument panel, cockpit trim wheel and two tiny propellers for the optional wing-mounted electrical generators. Rounding out the set are three resin parts – two engine fronts and a DF loop aerial teardrop mount. I didn't realise the Xtradecals sheet had Swissair markings - I'll have to get a set for my Swissair collection! Gives me an excuse to do another Heller kit. 😎 Edited August 12, 2020 by Paul Bradley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare for me to deviate from 1/48. I then PE all that I can get. Laurie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
