So you out bid me on eBAY.
Never mind, I think that I might have bagged a bargain. On the box it's a Tu-154 Playfix scale 1/100. Inside the box it's the IL-62 (VC 10 lookalike).

You have a good chance of my not bidding on the next one then McColm

Someone doing an IL 62 in 144th - Zvezda?

They are indeed Lee, and not before time either.

Russian air force tanker markings and current camo?

Or really screw with people's heads and have it in BA 1970s/80s colours...

And then do a matching VC10 in an Aeroflot scheme?  ;D

And kit now has a new project to play with LOL
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

1 x 1/35 Trumpeter E-100      I like this version better than the older Dragon kit as the turret looks more production that the Dragon one does.

Not so keen on the vinyl tracks though  :-\

This is a brilliant idea and one very similar I've got with the CIM TU144 and Concorde. Side by side but the 144 in BA markings and vice versa... Got the Concorde but not the TU144..yet!

I think I was going to give the 1/144 Concorde Pan Am colours from another Revell 1/200 Boeing SST. And giving the fixed wing BA decals. The swing-wing model was to be turned into a bomber.
I'll add it to the "to do list".

1 x Trumpeter 1/35 E-10 looks interesting and this boxing had both vinyl and separate track links

1 x Trumpeter 1/35 E-50 This means that including what I already had in my stash, I now have all the mineral supplements!

Picked up for the princely sum of £4 at a car boot sale (of all places!) - a pair of Heller Mirage IV kits, one in 1/72 & one on 1/48. No boxes,instructions or decals but, what the hell!!

I've got the 72 scale one kicking about somewhere. If you want I can scan the instructions for you.
What if... I had a brain?
