I won a Glencoe 1/96th scale Vickers Viscount on ebay, just to use as a parts donor, and the fuselage for a SHADO build. Bought it as a bit of a gamble really, and was wondering what they were like to build. Detail is unimportant as it will be getting the razor saw treatment :wacko:

Glencoe is a re-boxer of old kits, primarily from the 1950s.
The Viscount was originally a Hawk release.

Cheers for that Jon,
The pictures have helped me decide what I am going to to the kit also, one modification being cutting the cockpit area out and putting in an A-6 Intruder one, and swept wings with tail mounted turbo fans, BIG streamlined turbo fans  :wacko:
