my thanks to Geoff on the translating front.

its missing the right main, props all stuffed bar one, but that's all fixable and overall the casting's in good shape.

question now is........what livery? MATS, warning star, eastern perhaps?

any suggestions?

I saw once a photo of a Warning Star based on the Dinky casting.... Check out page 2 overhere in 'Dinky Conversions'.
Maybe you can go for an Air France in correct livery (available with F-DCAL in France). Good luck ;)

not really sure. leaning towards Eastern, if i can print up the decals (in my case, no mean feat).

failing that, stuffed if i know! can't decide. so many options, so few castings. all that aside, finding the time. we're working like slaves at present and the tribe's on a dive course first thing monday. so i'll be forced to go diving on what few days off i have.

nevermind!
