There were LOADS of them on sale at Telford, and for a Mach 2 kit they looked pretty good, you could even see through the transparencies...........
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! :)

Half of them ended up behind the What If stand  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I have been considering one of the argosy kits, as I am a fan of turbo prop stuff. What are they like kit wise as I have heard to many horror stories about Mach 2 kits.

Although you couldn't neccessarily name what you were looking at....

I had a good look at one and decided it was still 'too Mach2' for my money.

I've seen a WIP at (I think) Britmodeller and they seemed to say it was still "too Mach2", although still an improvement. I'll try and get you a link tonight.

Back in the 1980s, this used to fly out of the airport near where I lived in Adelaide:



Very fetching in yellow with black titles.

There were a few of them on the SIG stand, and amazingly the transparencies really were, transparent that is.  :thumbsup:

The 'instructions' hadn't improved any though....
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
