Viscount Model Company

Not sure who they are, but apparently they're doing an injection Viscount in 1/144th scale:

Box style looks F-Rsin ish......

Also doing it in two other colour schemes:

Nice ! I like the orange scheme....looks Antarctic to me. A bit pricey tho....for an injection 144th scale kit ?

From a Britmodeller thread it's based on the S&M kit with a few minor changes.

Todd, if you need a 1/144 Viscount in your stash you should be able to pick them up from ebay.  The S&M kit never sold well so can be found very cheaply.  Even with postage, you'll probably get it for a reasonable price.

You could try for a bulk discount

Some body got their marketing rather wrong 

Problem is you say to a bunch of modeller's "would you buy a 1/72 ******* or whatever" and they'll nearly all go "yea !". Now when it comes out 70% of them aren't interested, 20% want a different mark/variant, 5% will wait for it to appear cheap on EBay and the remaining 5% might if your lucky buy it ? Fickle bunch and we've all done it, me included  I'd hate to be in Airfix's marketing dept 

[Captain Canada]

Now that's a good deal ! If you could get some Air Canada decals for them I bet you could sell them around here

I've got a 1/72 RugRat resin Viscount 700 which I'll do in the Canadian Government livery of the time --

Crying out to be done in RAF colours, it's easy to think they served due to the RAE and ETPS aircraft.  Queen's Flight would be nice, early one in red and blue maybe, then in red, white and blue with silver undersides....

S&M were selling their Viscount kit at a recent show at £5 each, I wonder if the VMC guy got his stock via that route?

[ffrbel]

Yes, indeed. At that recent show I bought a complete box with 40 models in (at a reasonably price) from S&M.
