Please tell me that it's a really old railway coach, divided into four-seater compartments by panelled oak and art-nouveau etched glass, with leather buttoned seats and cast-iron overhead rack brackets... :wub:

With First, Second and Third class ?  ;)

And a sleeper section, of course...

Just for deaf customers I presume...

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Thanks for the info about the interior detailing and bad batch as mine was the same. One good propeller and the other stressed or bent due to the packaging.
I would have thought that Airfix would have cleaned up the mouldings before the production run.
There's some footage on YouTube showing take off, carrying passengers and the bridge section. One of the shots shows the red,white and blue roundels on the side of the fuselage.
Earlier Airfix models had the red decals which I haven't been able to find.

This reminds me of the horse drawn "Dandy car" that operated  between \drumburgh junction and Port Carlisle    https://collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co207792/dandy-car-north-british-railway-railway-carriage  Three classes.....|First class inside soft seats, second class inside hard seats, third class sit outside and get soaked when it rained...............I wonder, what would be the rotodyne equivalents?
That would probably be the Ryanair version

I've noticed that if you do glue the camshell doors in the closed position they don't align properly one is slightly longer than the other.
I've kept parts of the older kit and plan to make some resin parts for future builds until I have enough funds to buy a 3D printer and 3D scanner.
Unless Colin of Freightdog has a solution.
