One of yours, is it, Garry?
I wonder what gap they have on the spark plugs?
I have a couple of 1/32 unbuilt in the museum cupboard; I don't know if I'm game to open any of them now!

Wish it was

What's the museum cupboard??

I have lots of kits to make up when I get settled

Hi Garry observant as usual!
At Airspeed's residence is a steel shed containing my aircraft - related bits collection, mainly 1930s-1940s vintage.
That shed is known to me as "Airspeed's Flying Visit", or just "The Museum"
My unbuilt kits are in a steel cupboard under the navigational gear.
I'm working on a website to replace my current Google "AFV".
When it's done I'll change my present personal link to the new version.

Bah! what a load of rubbish, he's missed a rivet off!

Amazing work.

Cheers Mike...now we know

What's the main interest made kit wise?

Not long ago,in a shop in North Berwick! there was a model on sale of a DC3, which must have been at least 1/32nd scale or possibly even larger.It was made from Alumium and was in bare metal finish.The engine and undercarriage detail was particularly impressive but I felt it was somewhat let down by the elevators being far too thick and a poor joint between the fin and fuselage,which considering that they were asking £535 for it was not good enough.
Since then,they did have a second one in the window,but I got the impression that there was a slight anhedral on the wings.
I don't know who makes them,but one day they will get them spot on.Having said which,they both sold!EricT

Hi Eric

They are probably kits and the shop built them up badly

There is a DC 3 like you describe but I can't think offhand who makes it

**edit** This one

One went recently, un opened, for $20 on eBay

Hi Garry.You maybe correct.The shop isn't specifically a model shop although they do have one or two large scale WW1 aircraft in the window.IIRC the shop name is called Time And Tide.
I suspect that their prices reflect the fact that North Berwick and East Lothian in general are affluent areas. Eric T

Where I live supposedly an affluent area but it's more of an effluent area
