Nor me, though it does have a sort of period charm.

I just got this for my best mate...

All the better it didn't suit you.


£255.00 was the winning bid.

Now...That really looks the part

It has captured the true character, something I found the OP lacked :)

I saw a few locally and they were always a sight and sound of pure pleasure...unforgettable B)smk :tunes:

Looking at that metal lump, it's very much wrong. Apart from having no aerials, either thick or thin, there's no radome. The Nav and Radio ops windows are square, and should be round. Are props optional? Decals?

Mine cost half as much, and is twice as good. I'd rather it didn't have the long range tanks fitted, because that reminds me of very long boring trips.
