Model Kits

What one did you buy?

The Airfix model is still around and fairly cheap (I’ve not seen it over £4.00 yet). It denotes an F.3 but was originally released in the early 1960s as an F.1. An original F.1 version of the model would probably command a bit of a premium these days.

Hasegawa and the old Frog company released 1/72 F.6 versions as well (they might have been from the same moulds). Recently, Eastern Express have introduced an F.6 which I assume is the Frog/Hasegawa one back again.

Matchbox did an F.6 too in 1/72 as well.

In larger scales, Airfix have done a beautiful 1/48 scale Lightning F.6 and Aeroclub made a vacform 1/48 scale model.

Thanks for all the responses, I did look on Ebay but eventually found the one I was looking for at http://www.lpgestore.com/, Wasn’t as cheap as i’d liked but the lightnings are worth it.

Thanks again.

Martin,

Have you noticed the TSR.2 market die off a bit recently ? I have, but conversly have the seen the price of Vulcan’s creeping up & up ? 😮

.

Umm just when I thought of getting rid of a few of mine. Think will keep them now and heavens to bid…..BUILD them!!

Think will give up on the Trago trail now.

What with the good news that Airfix has been bought by Hornby, suppose all those surplus TSR2s wont be worth anything now. What a shame!!

The old Airfix one is still available….think I picked some up at Keevil this year for about £2.50 each and if you cant get hold of one, then drop me a line and I’ll see what’s spare!!

A quick look at http://www.hannants.co.uk/ shows ONE EE Lightning – and it’s sold out!

EvilBay would probably be your best bet….

eBay Lightnings

Online, you can have a look at EBay.
You should also go have a look at your local hobby stores. Some may have second hand items, which are usually sold cheap.

You can also try large online stores like Hannants.
