This is the old 1965 Airfix Vanguard, recently re-released with new decals and box art. I re-scribed it, replaced the kit windows with clear resin and added a few details here and there (including a flight-deck/cockpit of which nothing can be seen). Full build article in the current Airfix mag. (thanks to Ritchi from this forum for his help with the window masks...)

I love this Mike , I really have a fondness for the old turboprop airliners , I'm lucky to be old enough (just ! no sniggering at the back ) to remember seeing propliners on the few occasions i went to the airport with my Dad , dropping relatives off. Viscounts ,Vanguards ,Britannias , Argosies , hs 748's , all in the twilight of their careers but wonderful to see . This is a superb build , making a quite basic old kit look like a brand new latest technology release , superb work (and photography ,as always ) Great build , cheers tonyComment
