Looking for a V-22 to do an AEW project in Admiralty and AEW.

They appear to have dropped off the radar at the moment and the only one on eBay is set at a stupid price

They do seem to have appreciated, don't they  :blink:

I'll keep an eye out for one...

I'm sure I have one in the stash.
It's unlikely I'll ever get round to building it, so make me an offer.
I have absolutely no idea what I paid for it (bought it a goodly number of years ago, opened the box to look at the instructions and then stored it...) and I have no idea what they're going for now.


Edit: H*lls bells! I just looked at the asking price on E-bay, I certainly wasn't thinking it was "worth" that.  :o
What if... I had a brain?

I've been looking for the 1/48 version! Seems to have disappeared completely as well. Think I came across the same seller when I was looking for the Revell boxing of the Hasegawa Phantom FGR2 (1/48). I wouldn't pay £50 asking price for that even if it WAS in a Hasegawa box!! If you (or anyone else for that matter) have any other AEW projects in mind though, I have a radar dome from a Heller E3B/F going spare! Available to a good home.

Anyone interested, please send me a PM. First come, first served !

I believe I have copies of both in the stash....away from home for the moment, so cannot check and confirm.
Also, I found a children's miniature pool (snooker to you blokes) set that had a racking triangle that was perfect for the concept-art triangle-dish.
I made a resin mould from it, and could supply a copy if that's the approach you're planning.

Let me know
Tex

I'm sure the Darkmaster was looking for an E-3 style radome...

Its not, hopefully its OOP so they can update the moulds and the decals to bring iy upto operation standards as all the kits are based on mock ups and prototypes.
(PM sent regarding the offer)

Maybe now Revell Germany has been bought up by Revell USA again we may see a new kit of the type with a decent interior and options for a folded version.

Thanks for the Offer Tex, went with MrCreak as in the UK as postage costs can be prohibitive, no doubt others more local will be in touch now that you have made the offer as the kit just doesn't appear to be readily available these days
