WOW, NORRI, This is the greatest DINKY TOYS BRISTOL BRITANNIA I have ever seen.

I believe you could start with a rusted toy airplane and turn it into an absolute beautiful masterpiece.
Many thanks for your beautiful pictures, and for showing everyone your talents.
I am very, very impressed with your aircraft talents.

By the way, I have also polished some metal airplanes with MAAS Metal Polish and also light sandpaper.
Your results are Magnificent.

many thanks for the comments Richard, much appreciated. glad you like it.

almost finished restoring my last Brittania (the only hint i'm prepared to give), but don't have any props, so it'll be a while before the pics appear.

in the meantime, you may be interested in my latest restoration, 'The Merger...' will post in the next day or so,

regards norri

That is the best Brittania I have ever seen! It far exceeds the best Dinky issue! Congratulations!
