 Hi Guys,  I have managed to buy the 1/72 Contrail Blackburn Beverley from Ebay for around the same price as the ones advertised on the Sanger website. Which also includes postage and packing.  These usually go for silly prices.
If the photos are to be believed then apart from the cockpit glazing and propellers the rest of the kit is intact.
If not then it's a kitbash, or creating one of the proposed variants .
Any thoughts  :banghead:

A parcel just arrived containing the Contrail Blackburn Beverley kit.  There's some damage on the lower boom on both fuselage halves,  no cockpit glazing although wheels are supplied in vacform these will be replaced. I'm thinking of replacing the engines as well.

Why not cause much confusion and build it absolutely straight?  Nestled amongst a collection of sundry whiffery, it could serve an important role in our work of  JMN boggling.

There's NO way a 1/72 Beverley could 'nestle' anywhere, unless it was parked amongst a bunch of An-124s and C-5s!  :o

It'd TOWER over most of our SIG displays! 
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! :)
