Nice photos. Takes me back to 1979 and my first time on a widebody, a National Airlines (just taken over by Pan Am) DC-10, LGW-Miami.
The first ones I saw on ebay were certainly more than £16.99, but you’re right, most of them now do seem to be at the RRP.
The Atalanta & TriStar are back on eBay-
The second one looks more detailed, but I like the classic Aeroflot markings on the first one, so, er, dunno… Sorry.
Just seen the first Airfix TSR-2s on Ebay (Friday morning) Very tempting, but I’d resent paying over the odds for a brand-new kit like that. Anyone else thinking of it?
Bristol Jupiter maybe? Licence-built all over the world, I think.
[QUOTE=MDF]Guess you’ve seen these??
Typical! I did a search on eBay before posting here and found nowt, then look what someone puts on less than a couple of hours later…
Not much help now I’m afraid, but I’m pretty certain I saw the TriStar, Atalanta and Viking on ebay a while ago.

Erm, if we’re into Mitsubishis how about Eskimo Nell?
Airplane! Hannover Street.
Anyway, men must have gone to the moon because it was in the papers that they found a Lancaster Bomber and a red London bus on the moon.

Ooh, you’ve slipped up big-time there, Kev. Everyone, but everyone, knows it was a B-29, and that JFK, Diana, Elvis, and Marilyn Monroe are now living in it.
Or maybe it was intended as a gift for someone. I’ve heard some American expression about women “Giving Head…” (Sorry)
Must have caused quite a commotion, but as someone said “If you can keep your head when all about you are losing their’s…”
Does anyone know if the Airfix kit really is a “limited edition” or if that’s just a marketing ploy? Given the cost of producing the kit, surely they’ll want to sell as many as they can?
My big dread (though it’s only happened once so far) is when you’re looking forward to a read, a drink, and a nice long kip, and before you’ve even got your seatbelt fastened properly the tree-hugger in the next seat turns to you and says “Hi! I’m Jeremy! We’re going to be spending the next eleven hours together, so why don’t we start by you telling me something about yourself?” I felt like one of the passengers in “Airplane!” when Ted Striker starts telling them all about what happened over Macho Grande.
