Dave1707822384 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Having just finished up a Roden Super VC10.... and all the hard work that goes into it, i was wondering if an all-new tool Standard VC10 in 1/144 scale has come up for discussion among the Airfix design and marketing staff.The original kit dates back to i think 1964 or so and it's kind of clunky by today's standards. If Airfix is employing a strategy of replacing some of their very old molds with new toolings.... this subject is worth considering.Only 54 VC10s were built in toto, but the Standard VC10s had the broadest selection of paint schemes. For example, BOAC is the obvious one (3, possibly 4 different paint schemes), but British United/ British Caledonian was an operator, as was MEA, Ghana Airways, Nigeria Airways, Air Malawi, Gulf Air... plus the RAE had that rather fetching test aircraft.If Airfix were to re-tool their 1/144th scale airliners this would be a great way to kick things off.... perhaps the only better choice would to re-tool the Comet 4.

AirportsEd Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 A new Standard VC10...I'll second that. Was the Roden Super a tough build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
