    Outstanding Jetflap, those are really interesting http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/images/icons/icon14.gif

    Got a few hand-me-downs of my Grand-dads on a similar theme, people of that era have such nice handwriting too, puts many of us to shame.

    The Airfix example.

    Back in the days when Airfix did some really cool stuff….

    Impressive looking packaging with prominent Swazzy, not sure if that could be allowed to happen these days:rolleyes:

    Got two of the Airfix flyable examples up in my loft. One of the boxes has been chewed into by mice.

    Makes me wonder if the mice that live up there are planning to put it together glide & to freedom 😀

    I feel like a challenge is being thrown down here… but no, regrettably I just can’t be bothered to put myself through all that again. 😮

    Aha! Hence the 2x plus sawing & plastic card…

    Not an impossible task, granted not an easy one either, but all it needs is the Will to succeed….

    A couple of the Airfix control tower kits, some plastic card & spot of sawing ‘n’ gluing, you could build your very own 1/72 scale version.
