Desktop Models
Does anyone know of a good company from which I could get a good quality desktop model? I am specifically looking for an 8 Sqn Shacklebomber.

Try Collectors Aircraft Models at the Sheraton Skyline, LHR, in my opinion, biggest suppliers of any aircraft models anywhere.
Ring Brian Austria-Tomkins on 020 8754 7281 or email [email protected]
If he hasn't got one, he'll get one made, any size, any colour scheme.
Also take a look at the old threads at the bottom of this page. Might also help.
Good luck

yep .....
1/200 scale - Avro Shackleton AEW-2
8sq RAF
(approx 24cm long)
I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
Shame about the colour though.
One's I remember used to have black recognition markings on the wings.

I had them make my own first tour aircraft (A Tornado GR1 of 16 Sqn), to order, in the exact specified livery and markings. It is spectacular. They hand make them in wood then paint to your spec. I paid about £300 I think, but then you do pay for quality. It's pretty large too, makes a nice coffee table centre piece, (even if the wife disagrees!).
I'd reccomend them fully.
