they're not much really

but the smaller they are, the harder they are to polish etc.

the look of polished metal changes with the light

G-ALWF as it is today, preserved at IWM Duxford.

visited Duxford recently with a mate of mine, who's old man used to fly ALWF

he doesn't know it yet, but this'll be winging its way to him tomorrow. we're off to Cosford next
all original dinky except paint, props and decals.

Some polished models look wrong,but this looks great,in fact I have to look through my Viscount's and do a similar make over.

I purchased recently a cheap Viscount repaint with what look like replica decals,does anyone know where these can be purchased please?

Barry.

thanks for the comments Barry. Steve Flowers has a lot of dinky spares and decals, so you can purchase them from him

i have a spare set of BEA viscount decals, which may be originals because they've yellowed so are most definitely not new. i bought them for Flowers a few years ago. but since then have been printing my own, so never used them. you're welcome to those if you want. pm me if you do,
