Hi George,

It is around £25, but I thought that it would be the wrong colour to be of interest to you.
The first place to sell it, that I know of, was Argos.
How was your visit to Loch Insh???

Hi George,

Can you remember what scale they have produced it at? Is it to the old Airfix scale of 1/600 or have they gone down a differnet route on this one.

I wouldn't worry too much about the colour scheme at the moment, if this government carries on the way it is, it could easily be painted as a hospital ship!

Hope you had a good holiday

Chris,
I am not interested but as I was in the shop I noticed the large box. Did not pay any attention to scale but from the size of the box think it could be a reasonable scale.
Loch Inch was pretty good although the weather did not make it easy for the fly guys mainly the fact that the wicd and waves were not in the same direction which made it interesting during take off. The guys with the big scale models did notfly because of the strong winds and rough water.

The Airfix kit is 1/600th scale.
Revell are bringing another kit out "soon", advertised as 1/400th scale.

Thanks Drilmar,

I was hoping for something along the lines of 1/350, so have to wait a bit longer.
