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

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.

Now that will make a nice looking model
By the way James, how do you match your shirt to the wall?

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

Re: S&M 1/144 Viscounts for a fiver
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.

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

Re: S&M 1/144 Viscounts for a fiver
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.
