I'm fairly certain I once owned a plastic kit of a Viscount, but doubt it was of the 800 series, and its scale was, shall we say, "unstated"! Might have been from that World famous New Zealand manufacturer of very fine plastic kitsets of an amazingly curious range of aircraft of all sorts, in random scales, and invariably produced in a rather nice silvery grey plastic material. Don't think it had any actual clear windows for pilots or passengers, and probably lacked any sort of undercarriage. Somebody on this Board must remember this beauty from those long-ago innocent days of our youth. I also had a much smaller metal model of a TAA Viscount which had an undercarriage (I think!) and was nicely painted in quite thick coat of paint in white and blue colours, but certainly too small for any clear windows. The 4 propellers could rotate, but were fragile, and several of them broke after a short and brutal life! Manufactured in Oz of course.
