NWR-Gordon-4 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Looking back to Ratch's original and first post dating back to 2015 in this thread, found on page 1, I spy amongest the cans and jars, an Airfix branded mug. What were you drinking?! Glue?! 😆 😉 😀 GNR-Gordon-4 (AF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Glue is too thick, white spirit 😛 Children - do not drink white spirit or glue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Oh yes, I should have added that warning message, in my post last night! Thank you for coming to the rescue Ratch, by posting it on behalf. 😆 😉 😀 GNR-Gordon-4 (AF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumpy61 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Hi, can any one help i am after a model of the Illustrious as it was the last ship I served on in the Royal Navy. So far I have not been able to find either of the models that airfix sold A14201 or A50059 one of which was the gift set with paints. Can any body help with a shop or website that has this model for sale I must point out I would like an unmade model please. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can any body help with a shop or website that has this model for sale I must point out I would like an unmade model please. Many thanksHi, Scrumpy61 - first of all, thank you for your service. I just asked my mate Mr Google, he says "TrendTimes.com" toys & hobbies are advertising it, selling from the States, at £55.57 plus tax (sorry, don't know how much that would be), plus £11.40 P&P. Stuff brought in from the USA often attracts HMRC's attention, they like to charge duty on top of all that, their website might give some guidance as to how much. All in all, not cheap. It could be worth e-mailing some model shops (there are quite a few to be found in Airfix Model World) one of them might have one in stock. My partner (now wife) and I visited HMS Illustrious when she called into North Shields on the Tyne, many years ago, she was a very fine ship.

Would you believe that the night after I put up my post on this forum the Illustrious models appeared on e Bay. The boxes have been opened but all the sellers say all the parts are there still in the bags, 2 are on auction 1 is buy it now wt £130 not cheap but will see how they go. Hopefully I might have the kit I am after soon. Once again thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
