Just up the road then, no problem.

PM me your address and I'll print a set off for you, the postage won't be too much.

I'd like Airfix to repop the base kit, because they are getting decidedly pricey - £25+ for something at best worth a tenner?

I've got a resin one somewhere too, but can't remember who did it.

Off the top of my head I would say Arrdvark Aviation as I have one in my stash.

I may have a spare Airfix kit Lee, if so I will put it next to the 510 for you.

four or five years ago at Model Expo someone in the swamp and smell was selling carded Airfix kits dirt cheap out of a large box and had a heap of these.  Did I buy any?  No, because obviously I am an idiot.
There was something in the water that year as someone else had a seemingly inexhaustible supply of Matchbox kits.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

But how much work do you need to convert a P.1127 kit into a Kestrel?

Quite a bit IIRC, the wings alone are a totally different. shape.

The one I have is a Heritage Aviation Kestral kit. I also have a spare wing for it as when I got it originally, the trailling edge of the wing was about 1.5mm thick. The replacement one was much better. If anyone wants a go at fixing the "thick" one, I can pop it in the mail. I should say the Kestral wing is quite different to the Airfix P.1127 wing and the Tripartite used Kestrals.
