Just won a load of scrap models on ebay (link: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120594724826&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT ) - bid on it mainly for the DH 110 but the Bricks won't go amiss either.  There's also a Rotodyne but some of the bits are missing.  Has anyone got some spares?  Who was cutting one up recently?  Can I raid your spares bin?

TIA!

Thanks guys.  Replies inbound.

Now, does anyone actually have the tail surfaces I'm looking for?

Yes, definitely.

I have three of the re-released Airfix 'dynes, and I'll only need two sets of tail surfaces. Which are the exact bits you need?
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! :)

I haven't received the wrecks yet so I can't tell you at the moment.  At a guess I'd say the lot!

These arrived a week or so back.  I definitely need the complete lot of tail surfaces for the Airfix Rotodyne.

Help!

Is there any major differences (apart from scale obviously) between the Airfix and Revell Rotodyne kits?

The Revell one is more detailed, plus the panel lines are finely engraved.

The Frog one was supposedly the best of the lot but the chances of getting one of those are slim to zero.  You'd have more chance of finding an igloo in hell.

Interesting.  I wasn't aware that Frog even did one.

I think I saw a box for one a few years back.  Price tag was close on £300...

There was another one just after the one Rickshaw showed but in much worse condition. Didn't reach the reserve I think.
