It would indeed be great to see Airfix dive back into the 1/144th classic airliner scene... The RAF C. Mk. 1s are a little tricky. They are something of a hybrid that combined the best of both worlds. Short fuselage, but with the enhanced leading edge wing, extra gas in the vertical fin, and the big motors that are 11 inches further outboard with the thrust line tilted up 3 degrees. Each time i finish a model, i learn far more about an aircraft type than i ever wanted to... -d- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEdge Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Oh that's magnificent and just gives me another kit that I feel inclined to buy! Although it wouldn't be even close to the quality of yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Nothing beats the elegant 'Queen of the skies' Super VC10 in the BOAC Livery. Absolutely stunning build with some useful tips for airliner building. I'll try some of them! Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave G i fixed that mistake; it was the HP Victor, not the VC10 that was the Iron Duck. I Knew i saw it somewhere... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing i'm discovering about Roden kits is, they're pretty good at getting the basic shapes right but you really need to work to get the end result. The way they engineer small detail parts can be at times maddening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
