Quotevac form by Whirlybird with resin and white metal parts included. I think its the old Maintrack kit with extras.
Does anyone know where to get one of these vacuforms?

Thanks,
Carlos.

Oh that is excellent. Love the look of that aeroplane. The three planes together is great for comparison.

£56 and £48? GULP!

I think I'll stick with my Maintrack one, it cost £7.95 according to the sticker on the bag.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

That's why I was looking at out-sized Hawker Hunters to use as a basis and to modify/scratch the differences

The Hannants listing is for the S&M kit.  Whirlybirds vacform with resin is much more affordable.  They're usually at Telford, Kit, so you'd be able to get one then.
