Do they do mail order Alan?

Try http://www.anticsonline.co.uk they have a shop in Plymouth as well, I just checked my receipt the kit cost £10.99 but I think it was the only one on the shelf :sad:

Do you want an in box review?

Regards Splash
Thanks for the Antics link, duly ordered :-D

Will still be intetested in an in box review when you have a chance :grin:
Best wishes

Nice one John, what are the extra 3 odd ball a/c?

Was the Shetland the a/c that had the hull that extended down like a big skid for take off & landing?

Judging by the profiles, Martin Baker MB3, GAL Twin Hotspur and at a guess, something mad by Miles Aircraft (which is nearly all of them).

Two more added. Both are Amodel DH Doves. Review in the in box review section.

All the best.

Nigel,

I built a similar Airfix kit of this plane a few months ago. It goes together rather well. You should enjoy it.
