The title says it all. If anybody has one they would like to dispose of, I'm buying. Only looking for the old Hawk/Testors kit - not one of the others (Rareplanes, Magna, Pegasus, etc.).

Nigel,

You HAVE to be joking?  ;D

But if you're not I'm sure I have the bones of one somewhere. I'll crawl up into The Loft tomorrow and dig it out, once I've donned my thermals and snow suit of course........

Thanks Kit

There is method in my madness - all will be revealed - eventually!

Cheers

The onset of the snow, and my wife chosing to go out before it started, plus the lack of a car just now, has rather prevented me from climbing up there yet. But I'll manage it in the morning for sure, we won't be able to do anything else, what with no car and the doors snowed up........  :lol:

Nigel,

I've spent AGES up there, and found a lot of stuff I didn't know I had, but can't find that darn Swift.  :banghead:

I've found the two you DIDN'T want of course, but not the Hawk one. I know I have it, but quite where is beyond me just now, terribly sorry to dash your hopes.

I'm always scrounging for those, so if I see any in my forays into local shops I'll bung one in the mail. They're getting rarer every year though.  >:(

Thanks for looking, Kit. I know the "I was sure I had one in the loft" feeling - happens to me countless times.

And thanks Rat, and in the meantime I'll keep looking.

Hi Nigel
I've got the 1/72 Pegasus Swift if you want it.
