S&M 1/144 Viscounts for a fiver

[JamesPerrin]

Just scored an S&M 1/144 Vickers Viscount as a Buy It Now for £4.99 + £2p&p off ebay uk. 10 sold more than 10 in stock. Evidently someone has a box load there are selling cheap - normal price around £10.50

I have nothing to do with this sale. It's just a good deal if you are interested.

[JamesPerrin]

No window cutouts but I believe they have good shape. Plenty of civvie decal options though I'll be going for an RAE version which I'm sure would interest you.

The ebay seller claims to have 8000 in stock...

Or at least did so last year.

Yep it's the same guy. If anyone wants two (or more) you might be best off contacting him directly.

The RAAF also used them in the VIP roll.

Now that will make a nice looking model

By the way James, how do you match your shirt to the wall?

[airjim]

Hum, for that price I could take a flyer on it and try to convert it into a 700 Series TCA bird.

Thanks for that James, at that price, I couldn't resist

I may be interested in one of these also. James, could you tell me roughly what the dimensions of the finished kit would be, nose-to-tail and wingspan wise please? Also, any links for those Raspberry Ripple decals or similar - I'm not really up on airliners or civils etc.

NOTE,

Be very careful when Googling this model, do NOT search for S&M Models with kids in the room...

Cheers
Al.

I wondered how long it would be before somebody noticed that...

Googling "S&M Models Viscount" was an altogether more wholesome exercise.

Thanks for the heads-up, I just bagged one too! :-)

I think that these are being sold by Selina from S&M Models, so no wonder that they have a lot in stock!

Cheers, Andy.
