Among there recent release are a trio of VC 10's

They have also released the Trident 3B in British Airways.

Nice little models at a good price for the quality

BEA and BA Trident 2E plus a BUA VC 10 to come this month :dance:

Could go quick.......the BOAC Standard VC 10 and the BA Super are already sold out :sad:

The problem I always get with this sort of thing is I see them and want them all

Never mind......but at least on that scale you can have several...even make up a retro Heathrow diorama

Cheers Garry :dance:

I have 'ZK' and the 'Super' ASGP (Red Tail). Good thing is, they're small enough to fit anywhere!!

Bad thing is.. they ain't cheap :shock:

To save me doing the maths, how big is a Super VC-10 at 1:400?

And notice the Super VC-10 has the 4 thrust reversers?

At least with $2 to the Â£1, they are more affordable than usual :dance:

I think the Super had four reversers at first and later two were removed :think:

Confirmed.

They were on all four originally..then inners were removed.

The prototype had four but the Standards had two.

Ian..

GP only has 2 reversers

I've just got the ruler out and GP is 13cm long (total.. tip of nose to end of empennage) with a wingspan of 11cm. They're tiny but the level of detail and quality of decals is superb

Yep.....that's right 'GP as Red tail should only have two

The inboards were removed during the later BOAC days so it looks like they have been paying attention to detail
