Another recent arrival
Oxford (diecast) BOAC Commer Commando Bus. 1/76th Needs a nice 1/72 BOAC Propliner to display with.
Note body is mainly plastic not diecast probably to get the windows to appear more correct.
Nice for collectors of Airport/Airline related vehicles.
I am involved with Oxford Diecast on these. You can always build a Heller 1/72 BOAC Connie or Academy Stratocruiser kit which would look great with this bus.
We have a BEA one coming next in the late '40s/early '50s livery, which would look nice with a 1/72 BEA DC-3 which Corgi make.

Yes have one of these with decals to restore to original condition.
Robert did have the heller 1/72 connie super connie and dc7 but got destroyed over the years. Have still a Heller 1/72 BOAC707 I have to repair I built probably 20 years ago.
NB did you go for the Vintage & Veteran Connie I PM'd you about?

I'm not sure what your involvement is, but it has to be brilliant, as this model is brilliant! Thanx for your effort.
Corgi 1:72 BEA DC-3? I thought those were LONG out of circulation. Nice model, if one can handle the flat wings. But agreed, they all would look superb together!!

Quick update, got a BEA Commer bus today. Will post pics.
But January 2015 sees Oxford doing the BOAC Commer Commando in 1/148th N scale.
Nice match for my 144th Corgis and only slightly large for 1/200.
Thanx for that!
THAT is the scale I could use. I refused to dispose of a few of my favourite Corgi 1:144 Britannias, and my BOAC Britannia 100 is a cracker! Time to look up in the upper reaches of the spare room closet again. (It's been a while since the DAF days.)
Time to check out eHatton's again.

I'd be more surprised if you didn't!
I had both too, but sold off the 300. The 100 was a gift from my dear brother, as is my highly cherished CPA Britannia 300 (with some slight mods) sitting in front of me here. I also held onto my RAF transport Britannia. A tidy trio.
By the way . . . G-ANBA sports an error. There should not be the 'eyebrow' windows on the flightdeck. Still a gorgeous model regardless.

Reason: Additional info.
I love Oxford's products. They are well made, with great attention to detail. (At least the models I have.) I just wish they were 1/72. But one can't have everything...

Thanks for your allocade! I provided the research photos for the BOAC and BEA Commandos. As for a 1/72 BEA DC-3, decals are available if you're up to building an Airfix/Italeri/Revell kit.

Ahhh . . . OK. Can do. Pity that Corgi 1:72 BEA DC-3 has gotten into the wind. They sat around for so long at a number of places too. Not too bad of a model, only some small mods required. Mind you, those wings sure were flat. Overall, it would have looked a treat with this BEA Commando.
Thanx!
