Original Westway Capitol Air A300

Out of curiosity I seen one for sale recently and the model is one piece made by Westway in the UK from the 80s. Model is mint except for a small tip on the horizontal stabilizer is chipped off. Any idea on how rare or what the model could be worth. I believe the asking price is 120.00 CAD. Cheers.

It depends on the scale. There are two that I'm aware of 1/50 and 1/72. condition. Check out the links;

As for the price, it depends on what the buyer will want to pay.

That is not a bad price, even with the small chip. I'd grab it if I were you.

Thanks MSR, I am thinking I will do just that. Been sitting for a while was going to make an offer slightly lower to see if the seller will move on it.

You're welcome. Be nice to see some pics, if you do get it.

Hopefully, you'll bring it home

Yea it's quite odd it would have ended up in a travel agency in Canada. From my understanding Capitol air in the 80s mainly did us military charter flying.
