Has anyone got one they are willing to part with? The ones I have seen for sale in the usual places are having a tin bath.I am in the UK also.

I may have one, but I won't be near my Loft till Sunday at the earliest. I'll have a look for you then.

If Kit can't find his I'll see if I can find my Maquette Frog clone.

It's there somewhere with the other 1,500 kits !

Sorry, Chris,   I had an Airfix Herald until a couple of months ago  but I donated it to  young a  Ukrainian guest  currently resident in our village.   He and his sister are assembling it with great care  as a "Marches Airways"  feeder liner based at Shobdon airfield. 14 year old Miki is taking the lead with the modelling and  16 year old Alina (whose grasp of English puts many local  teenagers to shame)  has mastered the concept of Kit's Second Law in the creation of a backstory.    I'll try to post pix and story when it's finished ; with their permission and approval of course.

I've got one, but I'm sure shipping would make it a less than desirable option !

Apologies, I've now checked, it was a FROG kit.

Yeah, they did it originally, and then it was copied by the world and their mother!  :o

I've found the Herald kit Chris, looks like it's all there bar the windscreen and one window.

And there's no instructions or decals, it was just in a plastic bag, but I'll find a decent box to post it in.
