The Unofficial Airfix Modellers' Forum

Available from 1959 to approx 1963.
Aircraft in 1/96 scale about 9 although info about them is difficult to find.
Ships in 1/1200 scale approx 34 boxes although if the ship was the same class as another it was the same with a different box.
I believe the Dorking Model Shop has a display of the above.
A book by Donald Hood titled Eaglewall's Table Top Navy was printed in 2011 but it may be expensive.

I could have sworn we had an Eaglewall thread but nothing not even on the old site, so thanks for starting one.

Paraphrasing Arthur Ward's Classic Kits:

The Eagle comic that featured Dan Dare and as part of a publicity campaign in partnered with Dorking Foundary who re-released their Vulcan branded WWII kits under the Eagle name. They added a range of ships, many kits were reboxings of the same sprues to features sister ships.

I know for a fact though that Pyro's 1/1200 British and German ships were from the Eagle moulds and it appears Eaglewall also released Pyro's antique firearms and "Design-a-plane" set.

The kit company folded in 1964.

Aircraft were
Spitfire
ME 109
Tempest
Stuka
Gloster Whittle Jet
ME 163
Hurricane ???
FW 190 ???

Help with the last 3 please.

From John Burns PAK-20

The first 5 were originally issued by Vulcan, Eagle purchased the molds in 1957.
#1 Spitfire IX, 1/96
#2 Hurricane II, 1/97
#3 Bf-109G, 1/98
#4 Fw-190A/5, 1/96
#5 Ju-87B, 1/94

These next 4 were Eagle/Eaglewall
#6 Me-163B, 1/98
#7 Gloster E28/39, 1/96
#8 P-51C, 1/96
#9 Typhoon Ib, 1/93 (maybe same as TT below)

Unsure about these:
360 Design-a-Plane (ex-Pyro)
?? Anson, 1/96
?? Battle, 1/96
?? Blenheim, 1/96
?? Typhoon Ib, 1/93 (TT=Table Top Air Force kits, last before folding)
?? Ju-88

Bagged kits, with header card were re-issued by French company SITAP - confirmed are 2,4,5,8,9 but likely all 1-9.

I recall an older brother having a Me163 kit when I was a youngster. I was unimpressed that he never properly finished it & the bits kind of "dispersed" over time. Crude by todays standards but as I recall, the molding was very crisp & clean.

Thanks for that the P51 was the missing piece
They issued the Design a Plane but not the others.

First time I built kits I built circa early 60,s died under a arrow storm on the garage door.Doh.

Got this at a -surprising- bargain price from eebee.
Obviously, there were no collectors around, when this showed up:









The decals still look usable.
This is a small box, only about 5 inches/ 14 cm long. Back then, boxes were made to make the parts just fit in...
I find the way the wheel wells are done in this one, simple, but very effective:

In those days, it was usual, to have no wheel wells at all, panel lines as outline of it, or: just gaping holes, that gave
you a look at the pilots feet
It looks toyish, but very charming, too (IMHO)
(I wanted to post it under "Eaglewall kits", but it shows up as new topic?)

Thanks for posting the pics I've wanted see what they looked like.

Thanks for editing my post, mods, it makes more sense, to have this small review stuck into the Eaglewall thread
