My parents have cleared out my old models on to me, and before a seemingly inevitable date with the bin, I wondered if anyone might want them free for 'spares or repair'. Here you go:



From the back, I think they are Comet, Canberra, unknown trimotor, He177, Me262, Bristol Belvedere, unknown maritime patrol (?), Jaguar. Plus a few more bits and bobs I probably have somewhere.

No prizes for putting me right on those - they were mostly built around 30 years ago...

PM me if these are any use to you. smile

Probably a Nimrod rather than Comet, Mirage F1 rather than Jaguar, a Viking (maritime patrol) and possibly an Airfix Ford Trimotor?

The unpainted ones would be good airbrush targets for someone.

Cheers.

Are these old Airfix kits? The Nimrod would be a conversion of the Airfix Comet if that was the case.

The Trimotor is definitely a Ford Trimotor.

Yes, they are.

I suspect my 9 year old self preferred a Nimrod to Comet, for obvious reasons, but hey, it was a cheaper conversion than anything BAe Systems came up with...

Bet it didn't work either.

The Me262 is definitely Matchbox rather than Airfix.

And the Canberra is a Martin B57

And I admit to slightly drooling at yet another Belvedere

(is there yet another pre prod model in me or should it be in grey green camouflage?)

There's plenty of spares box potential there N

Well, you're welcome to them - I'm near Gloucester if that's any use to you.
