Wow…That looks awesome! Can not wait to get my paws on that collectors set…..Having just read First Light by Geoffrey Wellum too…..Best £99 ive ever spent….might have to do another set 😮

Roll on the weekend!

Love that box art 🙂

The first production models of the Merlins Over Malta range have arrived!

We plan to have them both on display this weekend at Duxford.

Come along to our stand outside Hangar 2 to have a look.

:rolleyes:

I would love to buy a set, but can’t afford it this month (and no doubt they’ll be snapped up sharpish!), but would still like to own them!!

In which case with your experience, why don’t you build your own, it would be a one off and far more unique.

I know,I know it looks, well, different. Just love the whole look of ‘597 in camo… Is this the “seafire” that was tentatively on the provisional participation list??

Get with the Agenda will you……read the posts!!!!

I’m liking the scheme more and more 🙂

Is this the “seafire” that was tentatively on the provisional participation list??

Nope! It’s no Seafire! It’s an RAF Spitfire in an RAF scheme flown from a US Navy aircraft carrier (in this case the USS Wasp).

Behave, it’s only temporary and looks very fitting.

Fantastic to see – both my Dad and I are very impressed by the photos.

My late Grandfather was one of the RAF party on USS Wasp, so he was involved in painting them blue first time around! He would have been impressed!

😡 My favourite Spit, ruined!………. 😡

Here are two pictures taken yesterday before Dad took BM597 back to Duxford for U2’s “maiden” flight 🙂

I can ask!

Much appreciated.

I am sorry to say that I shall miss the arrival, is there any chance of the ‘pair’ flying through Valetta Harbour when the a/c depart for Blightey?…..please???

I can ask!

What makes the Collectors’ set special?

The collectors set comes with the following items:

Exclusive box art (courtesy of Gerald Coulson)

A Merlins Over Malta patch

An exclusive collectors certificate with the following Malta veteran and Merlins Over Malta pilot signatures

More information can be found here

Remember though there are two sets available – The collectors set at £99.00 with Signatures; Gatefold Certificate; Fabric and Special Box Artwork and also Corgi are doing a Standard set release in their Legends range priced at £39.00

We are still hoping we might get both sets for this weekend, so we can display both at the Merlins Marquee.

which signatures are on the collectors set?

I know the “Merlins over Malta” models are available as a set, but are they also available individually? I would love to buy a set, but can’t afford it this month (and no doubt they’ll be snapped up sharpish!), but would still like to own them!!
