Excuse me, just a silly question: is the Airfix Skyvan a rare kit? Not issued since a long time?
I am seeing many for sale on ebay.uk for around 60 £  :o

Not particularly, I have two in the stash.

Gondor, not selling any Skyvans  ;D

I have seen Sherpas go for ridiculous prices on Evilbay up to over $US150.  I've been after one for about 5 years but been pipped at the post.   :banghead:

Likewise re a Sherpa / Shorts 330, I recall seeing a resin example listed but again seems almost impossible to find (my intention to build one in Queens Flight markings, yip an actual proposal) :o

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 was wrong. 210 English pounds plus post for a Skybirds Scimitar.
