F-rsin 1/144 Bristol 170 mk31

Not a bad model, its injection moulding...however needs to be treated like a vacform

it compares well with the two welsh freighters I have. I used an original subject, ex NZ5097, ZK-EPD in Hercules Airlines markings, based at Ardmore in the '80s. I think that this was the last B-170 flying in the world with Hawk Air in Canada in early 2000s

Nice job, Harry! Is the B170 available in other scales?

I believe Fly Models are working on one (slow gestation though). There is of course the old Airfix Superfreighter, but its long out of production. Lately there have been a few 1/144 models pop up though, theres a very detailed one (including cockpit detail) by Oz Mods an then there id F-Rsin and Welsh have recently re-released their 1/144 model B170 Mk31 as a resin kit (but expensive)
