Just like it says, looking for one of these, it'll be easier to build than tearing apart the one I made over 50 years ago. I have a Cyber Hobby 1/200th Avro Vulcan that I can trade, maybe something else if I check the stash. Canadian trades preferred due to postage and possible shipping disasters, but I'm not too fussy.

Curses! I had one of those about 50 yrs ago too.

It went the rounds of the IPMS Tretnt bi-monthly auction, passing from member to member, and as no-one really wanted it, the price got LOWER on each occasion! Eventually it was trading at 1d. That's one OLD penny, pre-decimal and it ended up with me.

I eventually donated it to our local ATC Squadron, who naturally painted it in RAF WWII camouflage and gave it roundels and squadron codes.  ;D ;D
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! :)

Seeing this  had me thinking  that I  have  or had one  of these aircraft  in kit form, if I remember correctly I  bought it from a  show  somewhere.  Its Its not the revell one  though  and it is 1/72nd scale.  I will have to have  a dig for it as I  haven't seen it yet  while  sorting out my kits for sale.

Anigrand, Mach 2, and Special Hobby, all did it in 1/72, but you could get more selling any of them than what I would pay for something that will be butchered!  ;D ;D   And the Anigrand one is resin, so all that resin dust wouldn't be good for the lungs.
