My stash just grew again 2026

AFAIK BA only did retro schemes for a 747-400 in the BOAC Speedbird scheme and an A320 in the BEA Red Square scheme.

I saw that A320 at Heathrow when we went to Warsaw in May. I have a blurry photo of it somewhere.

I had so much fun with the vacuform X-13, I remembered an Airframe Westland Hill Pterodactyl V that was in the gift shop of the local air museum.  I was in the area and it was still there and is now mine!  It is a very basic kit, only parts for the outer skin and formed in flimsy plastic.  Not even a template for the wing struts- I'll have to measure off the not quite life size 3 view on the instruction sheet.  I checked the address for Airframe, and it is the Burnaby Hobby Shop in Burnaby, BC Canada.  Still in business, since 1971 which I thought was pretty cool.
