if you've got one you don't want

hi guy's

I realise it's a long shot but do any of you have an Airfix VC10 and /or a Maintrack Hawker P1121 that they would be willing to trade or sell ?
I would like to include them in the Empires Twighlight thread, and i cannot get one anywhere at the moment.

thanks for looking

TIM

IIRC the P.1121 is currently available from Whirlybirds. It's better than the Maintrack kit as it's been updated with rather neat resin bits for the cockpit (new tub) and a complete wheel well bay.

do you have a link for that as just typing in Whirleybird just gets me loads of crap about a tv show ?

Thanks for that, Barry - most useful!

Can confirm that. Picked one up at Telford and it's a nice kit, but always suprises me how big it is

It is deceptively large. As long as a TSR2 I think.

No problem, Tim!
