AMB Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Nice! Such an odd looking beast. Maybe we will get a Belfast too at this rate! A Handley Page Hastings would be great also! 1
praded-dembelya Posted September 1, 2015 Author Posted September 1, 2015 A Handley Page Hastings would be great also! We plan to closely engage the British transport aircraft. And yet ... I gradually build models. 1
jaw Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 That looks nice. I await my kit with great interest. In fact I have ordered another one to finish in the white/silver RAF Transport Command scheme. For future RAF kits in 1/144 scale of course I would like to see the A W Argosy, Hastings and Avro Lincoln. John 1
Graham Boak Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 I must admit (look away those who don't like repetition) that my favourite would be a HP Halton, which does seem to be the main/only postwar British airliner yet to appear in injected-kit form or in diecast 1/144. I do have the Airspede resin but it doesn't look to be anywhere near as good as this Beverley.
AMB Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Whoopee! Hannants have the Beverley listed in their latest arrivals at £25.99. A bit pricey but comparable to if you ordered it from Ukraine with postage. Hmmm, I want four of them - RAF Transport Command 47 Sqn., 84 Sqn. Middle East camo., A&AEE Boscombe Down and RAE Farnborough. Definately agree with others about an Argosy, also a Handley Page Hastings, Vickers Varsity and Valetta/Viking and a Short Belfast....sorry, mustn't get carried away!
bootneck Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 The Beverley, produced by Welsh Models and a very nice kit, is £30 and vacform. Mike
simon77 Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Hello, the enlarged/extended lower intakes on the engine cowlings look like tropical sand (or dust) filters. These aircraft were used in the Middle East (Aden) and sand or dust would have been a big problem for piston engines at that time (and even now, for turbine engines, believe me!).
Aeronut Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 I've just opened mine and found I have the only six engined Beverley in captivity - I have an extra engine sprue! I may turn it into a freight load to fill out that cavernous hold. I do hope my mediocre modelling skills can do this kit justice.
JamesP Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Ordered mine from Oxonian's Fantastic Plastic via ebay kit+P&P approx same price as Hannants kit price
Aeronut Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Ordered mine from Oxonian's Fantastic Plastic via ebay kit+P&P approx same price as Hannants kit price Hannants are already sold out
Meatbox8 Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Hannants are already sold out Good news really. All the effort and outlay these small manufacturers put in to relatively obscure subjects. Great to hear they sell well. 1
Aeronut Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Good news really. All the effort and outlay these small manufacturers put in to relatively obscure subjects. Great to hear they sell well.That's what I thought. Its also a wake up call to the mainstream producers who turn out endless Spitfires and 109s that obscure do sell. 1
keefr22 Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 I've just opened mine and found I have the only six engined Beverley in captivity - I have an extra engine sprue! I may turn it into a freight load to fill out that cavernous hold. I do hope my mediocre modelling skills can do this kit justice. I've just received mine from Hannants & for the second time in two weeks have received a kit with most of the instructions missing!! Mine start at stage 13 & end at 14! Would anyone be able to oblige me with a scan of their (complete!) ones please? MTIA Keith
jaw Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Just received my Beverley and have to say that it looks very good indeed. Fine panel lines, internal detail so that you can model it with the clamshell doors off. 4 decal options, 3 silver/white machines and a desert camouflage machine. Count me happy! Well done Micro Mir - now for an A W Argosy. John
