Is that the one the decals were for?  ;D

It is now...  ;)

Good looking kit, I'm looking forward to getting onto mine. USN, I think - something other than plain ol' OD.

And yeah, Phill - if I ever win Lotto, a 1/1 version will go on the shopping list!

Rick with what I have in mind just the body would work cause I want to combine that with the chassis of a medium duty extended cab Chev duelly 4x4  ;D
Quite possible a normal cab version would work too 🤔 😉
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .

Must admit when I built that many years ago I really enjoyed it, looking forward to seeing what you do with it  :thumbsup:

Received today from Airfix

1 x 1/72 Supermarine Swift Front Canopy parts from the spares department. I had got glue in places in and between the two parts so thought of trying the spares department as the kit is in stock at the moment and I got a result  :thumbsup:

I too bought a Matchbox Heyford in a fit of youthful enthusiasm a great many years ago (actually it was in the previous millennium)  .  I've recently unearthed it from "The Deep Stash".  I'm considering deleting the lower wing, whiffing a retractable undercarriage in fuselage bulges   sponsons  and thus creating the Handley-Page............Hensingham.........Hexham.........Hungerford..........Huddersfield???

Or perhaps the Hackney, cos it's definitely going to get hacked  about.

Well, let's be fair, a Heyford looks like a 'whiff out of the box.'  ;D

Probably been done, but has anyone attached the lower wing to the fuselage and not the upper like a "normal" biplane?

Pretty sure someone did a monoplane Heyford, can't recall if it was a parasol or a low-wing.

My 'eternal build' Heyford is a monoplane, but with just the top wing, extended a bit of course.  ;D

And it's got Merlins too.................

A lot of "normal" biplanes do have the lower wing attached to the fuselage, however, it would not be usual for a Hayford

I added a third wing and three more engines.
