Anyone got one of the above going spare perchance?

I have one, or more even, but they're at home and I'm 120 miles away. The prices on eBay are RIDICULOUS, one in Japan going for over £80!!!  :o

One trader had them at Perth t'ther week for £15! And he had about half a dozen.  Wee Friends, but trades as Friendship models.  http://friendshipmodels.co.uk/

A call or email may help.

Thanks Lee, I wish I'd known I wanted a Swift then!

I'll give them a call.

[Later] Sadly no-one answers their phone and my email top them was returned as undeliverable. :(

Does it have to be an Airfix one?  Uncle Frank has several Xtrakit ones in stock.

0191 2524749 - 10-4pm, he's only open on Monday this week as he'll be off on the Jubilee days and then away on his holibobs.

He's definitely got a pair on the shelves as they were there yesterday.
