Who made this United Viscount Mainliner?

DINO · 07-11-2008, 04:31 PM

Can anybody help me with this model. It is about 23 1/2 inches wide, 20 1/2inches long.

Quite old and quite heavy - metal construction. Any knowledge as to who manufactured this model, it's origin and it's scale?

Any information, at all, regarding this model would be appreciated. Thanks.

Walkers Westway of England...Its a pre Westway model...Its aluminum and its old...My cousin Dan has 2 UAL and Capital airlines...

Thanks Crownvic. Do you know the scale of this model? Being old and 'pre' Westway, can I assume that this model is quite rare? Was Walkers Westway related to the subsequent Westway?

50th scale and yes it is related to Westway, from the 50s...

Crownvic, any chance of seeing pic's of your cousin's UAL or Capital Walkers Westway's? If anyone else has a Walker Westway, I'd love to see a pic.
