Vlamgat9 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Did anyone check this out at SMW? I forgot to. I imagine it weighs a ton. Not sure I can justify it with one of their Belfast's stashed away at my parent's house out of sight of the wife but I have always fancied a 1/72 VC10....

Some one must have, I was walking behind a chap who had one under his arm (I'm pretty sure that's what it said on the box anyway...) I'd like a Blackburn Beverley, or better still the Sanger vac form (and to think I had one in my hands one time, and I hesitated... ) Karl Edited November 13, 2007 by Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The wooksta V2.0 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I've got one on order but one of the lads in the TSR2 SIG bought one on the sunday. Very nice, the resin is the usual stuff that magna use and seems quite light. Fuselage is a little thick (the casting width) but overall it looks really nice. Decals are well printed and the white metal looks to be a vast improvement over previous Magna efforts. The built up one looked fabulous. I had to restrain myself not to buy it straight away, as I have an order for one with my local supplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary West Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Just added to my Crimbo list - I sold a VAC 72nd VC-10 last year, and never forgiven myself for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 (edited) Karl Do you want the Sanger Beverley? I have one I am very unlikely to build. Any idea what it's worth? Edit: Just had a look and Hannants still list it for only £27. Craig. Edited November 13, 2007 by Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 The one on show at SMW looked quite nice. The flight deck area was wrongly shaped but the rest of the airframe looked pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I can justify it with one of their Belfast's stashed away at my parent's house out of sight of the wife but I have always fancied a 1/72 VC10.... Yes,closely checked out and it certainly looks an impressive piece of casting.I normally carry Magna stock at most of the shows during the course of the year, and finished up getting four from Robin on Sunday pm. I'm not sure how many Robin had left as he only started the show with just over thirty and it sold quite well all weekend. Apparently Magna(spain) is going to have to cast a new master before furher delivery's follow, so possibly in the new year. check ads in SAM/SAMI for contact details. HTH cheers chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Just had a look and Hannants still list it for only £27. Craig. Craig, How would you compare the Sanger and Magna ones? The price difference is significant. The one built at Sanger site looks impressive. Isaac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefr22 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I saw it and the impression i came away with was "bloody hell thats big!" Me too!! Never would have thought that it was bigger than the Belfast! And with two Nimrods on the way, I definitely don't have space for one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooksta I don't suppose you could post some pictures of the kit when you receive it could you? Before I invest that amount of money on a C1K rather than a K2/3 or 4 and my first ever resin kit I would like to see what I am letting myself in for!!

Vickers McFunbus Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Do Magna have a website? Google didn't get any hits for me..... Nope. They did give me an email address though at SMW. Sadly they were only able to take cheques or cash on the day. [email protected] conversion to a BA civvy version ............ Possibly, although being a kit of C1K it presents a few minor challenges being "standard" fuselage with "super" wings and tail etc. However these details are hard to spot on a real 10 let alone a 1/72 model - and the external dimensions are the same. I'm sure someone could be persuaded to make a conversion to make the fuselage into a K3/K4/normal "Super" VC10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
