[Agent X20]

[minter]

[Agent X20]

At least you got the male version. i.e you can read the Simpsons comic (Lofty Agent marketing is all based around the sound Krusty principles).. me I get Ms magazine and gooey DVD films...... <yick>... nice to see that your mode of transport also has a for hire sign on the top.. free rides here..!!

Anyway.. anyone got an actual Showcase VC10 yet..??

[minter]

going back to you other post what is wrong with the engines?

[Agent X20]

VC 10 engines are not that shape...!!

[Looneygooner]

Looks like the engines failed on this one :)

[Agent X20]

Dont care.. want one..!! :D :D

[CFBC]

Hmm. Are you happy for me to move the past few posts Agent into a VC10 thread in civils? :)

My fault... :rolleyes:

[Agent X20]

Carry on old fruit... Think you will find there is a thread there... bit of drift bally Hurricane to VC10.... :confused: :confused: :D :D Apologies..

Its all these secret civvy types coming out of the closet... :D

[minter]

did they do a grey/green camo VC10

[CFBC]

How about this for a box set? Cannot find a camo one Mints anywhere....

[minter]

not bad, but perhaps instead of 2 harriers a 1 harrier and a Jag :)

[CFBC]

Was just an idea, I will go with any mix Mints.. :D

[minter]

your talking 1/72 right.....phew big box..pardon the phrase

[monty]

did they do a grey/green camo VC10

Yep Here's a piccie. I'm not sure but I think this was the only aircraft painted like this before they adopted the Hemp and light gey scheme. Good website for viccie swishes too.

1/144th would be good to be honest for teh VC10 as would sit nicely with the Victor, Vulcan and the third "V" when released.... WHEN!!!!

But, 1/144th for the smaller jets.... Hmmmmm.

1/72nd... BIG BOX!!!!!!!!!!!

[minter]

ah ha well done monty,corgi will do one no doubt

[monty]

Well I have just ordered a VC10 from my supplier, £4.50 I don't think you can go wrong, it will have to do until Corgi pull their fingers out and produce a 1/144th scale one :(

And agent I did a quick trawl on e-bay and found a photo of one in its box and the engine nacelles appear to be of the right shape, it just remains to be seen if the flight deck windows are corrected too, I know they're made in china but do they need to look like a Chinaman :D

[sniperUK]

Got one on Sat along with the SAR Wessex ,yes the engines are the correct shape.

[sniperUK]

And the cockpit.

[Agent X20]

Good oh, thanks chaps.. one for the cabinet... have you worked out the scale..?

[BSteinIPMS]

Good oh, thanks chaps.. one for the cabinet... have you worked out the scale..?

Can't find the scale, Agent, since these are in Corgi's Showcase line where scales are not provided.

CS90386, VC10, XR806, RAF (Antics price = £4.75, U.S. price $5.95)

CS90389, BOAC

[Agent X20]

Got to be about 1/400/500..??

Albert would/should know... hes after a 1/400 VC10... put em side by side.. Corgi.. bigger or smaller...??

Aeroclasics $99
Corgi $5.95

Three cheers for the hound...

after market undercart for a couple of dollars and Bobs yer uncle..

[goonybird]

I think these vc10 showcase are nearer to 1/600th.
And as per link there was a camo gray/green vc10. and Airfix did it.
Just want my 144th VC10 (or second best in 250th) At this rate I'll be pushing up the daisies by the time it appears :o

[Agent X20]

Camo one (http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=508316&WxsIERv=Ivpxref%20IP-10&WdsYXMg=HX%20-%20Nve%20Sbepr&QtODMg=Oevfgby%20-%20Svygba%20%28SMB%20%2F%20RTGT%29&ERDLTkt=HX%20-%20Ratynaq&ktODMp=Frcgrzore%201982&BP=0&WNEb25u=Xrvgu%20Oyvapbj&xsIERvdWdsY=MN141&MgTUQtODMgKE=Hahfhny%20fubg%20bs%20na%20ENS%20IP10 %20gnaxre%20va%20terl%2Fterra%20pbybhef.%20Vg%20nf %20gur%20frpbaq%20nvepensg%20pbairegrq%2C%20naq%20 jnf%20fgvyy%20ba%20grfg%20ng%20guvf%20gvzr.&YXMgTUQtODMgKERD=1410&NEb25uZWxs=2004-02-10%2000%3A00%3A00&ODJ9dvCE=&O89Dcjdg=&static=yes&width=1024&height=773&sok=JURER%20%20%28ZNGPU%20%28nvepensg%2Cnveyvar%2C cynpr%2Ccubgb_qngr%2Cpbhagel%2Cerznex%2Ccubgbtencu re%2Crznvy%2Clrne%2Cert%2Cnvepensg_trarevp%2Cpa%2C pbqr%29%20NTNVAFG%20%28%27%2B%22IP10%22%27%20VA%20 OBBYRNA%20ZBQR%29%29%20%20beqre%20ol%20cubgb_vq%20 QRFP&photo_nr=27&prev_id=519891&next_id=508313)

[Albert Ross]

I worked out the Corgi VC-10 is about 1/477th scale, so would not look out-of-place in any 1/400th or 1/500th scale collection. Am working on more liveries for this and am pleased to say the engines are the correct shape and not like pieces of dowling rod on the catalogue model!

[Agent X20]

Thank you.

(Just need to snap the undercart of an Aeroclassics...)

[BSteinIPMS]

and Bobs yer uncle..

I am? :eek: :D

[Agent X20]

Well you sent a Xmas card... :D

[Rusty]

Aeroclassics $99

Make that $150 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3862&item=6533466640&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW) and still a couple of days to go.

I just don't understand why there is such an obvious demand which no-one seems interested in supplying! :confused: :confused:

C'est la vie... anything VC10, but there again if you are relating this to Corgi - then thats the second biggest civil crime, the first being Concorde.. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Breweries and arranging drunken parties come to mind - which is why I think many of us have had enough and are changing allegiances..

Yeah and look at it, not exactly the best detail, wheels too large, nose/cockpit wrong shape, and worse still paint job totally wrong. would think showcase is better than this for a fraction of the cost. Still smacks of something wrong at corgi if their 55k went on this though?
1/200th vc10's at about the same cost and better detailed. (if you can beat Agent to it ;))
Strange nobody has attempted a placky type like hogan/wooster/herpa?

You dont think there is a copyright issue with 'V' products to wit the Vanguard/Valiant/VC10?

[Agent X20]

Naw its just the inefficiency and the lack of market knowledge that the producers have... basically they are .. carp.... tried to bid on a Western Vanguard tonight, but it was Canadian.. Money Orders only, hence the other post, but looking at the model... not exactly that inspiring..!!

Corgi could make a killing if they could get their ar$e into gear.. but can they be ar$ed..?

[Rusty]

Looked Ok to me. :) Sure he would take cash. Lufthansa connie quite nice too. But if you look at the one for sale in the nether-regions the detail is done with decals. still cheapish at £55 and $12 shipping. ;)

Did someone say Lufthansa :confused: Link please :D

[Agent X20]

Yep.. come on link please..... :D

[Agent X20]

Thanks Mr A....

[goonybird]

Saw showcase RAF VC10 yesterday at Kettering Toy Fair.
One word.....C**P

The nose has been truncated, and a crude plastic nosecone added with probe. Looks bally awful. Hope BOAC better?

[Agent X20]

Poo.. seems like the VC10 is a doomed bird..
