There are folk you there who'll buy it mate.. especially if they already have one in the factory livery. I can't imagine anyone wanting to buy it just because it's in a different livery. Not even I would do that with Vanguards :shhh: :wasntme:

The £100 is for the finished model like any other die-cast. They sell some in kit form for you to stick together, paint and put the decals on...that's £29

So, they charge £71 to assemble, paint and decal *-)

The do the Fairey livery too and it's quite a nice, interesting little subject but pointless for BEA without the long fuse, bigger wing and Tynes

If you break the £71 down into hours, it probably works out about £20 - £25 per hour, which if they do a decent job is probably fair. :dunno:
