I have three of the Corgi Avro Vulcans and a Terebo H-6K Badger, which are all still in their boxes due to a lack of display space. They are all heavy, especially the Badger. From what I can recall,...

Re: The Bloodhound Gang

The scale is 1:76, which is a close match to my 1:72 plane collection. I have bought a few older releases locally. My latest batch were purchased directly from Oxford Die-cast in the UK.
