I'm impressed, especially with the Turkish standard bearer, all you need is a Polish Winged Hussar to go with him

That box is huge. I must admit I was surprised by how large it is when mine arrived. Weighs a tad as well, amazing kit though 

At last...

For now.

i've opened one up.  Moulded in darker grey than i've seen Airfix use recently.  Prominent sink marks on the fuselage halves over the alignment pins and sockets mean if built OOB all that lovely rivetty goodness will be lost to the PSR faireys (sic).  Props are on each end of a frame with no protecting sprues outside them and are therefore vulnerable to the box being shaken.  Both are intact on the kit I opened but I've seen similar design on other old airfix moulds (1/144 Vanguard for example  which arrived in my hands with 3 out of 4 props missing blades).
And, as has been reported elsewhere about these repops the rear door hinge parts are missing their pins.  All four appear to have been sheared off.
One scheme is provided - the Fairey prototype.  Shame they didn't take the opportunity to knock up a set for something like BEA or Dan Air (or TAA or Ansett) but then the whole raison d'être of the vintage classics seems to be to just reproduce what was other than upgrade it in any way.
Lets eee what the aftermarket provides.

Rest of his pocket money went on pet treats 

Seriously glad you eventually got them

That's exactly right might. I think they saw the money some of these old kits were going for and thought why not ?
