Britannia 757 Model ??

Guys,

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum but I was hoping someone may know where I could find a nice sized model, say to stand on a desk, of a Britannia 757? Perhaps there's a website for a shop I could browse? I'm based in London. I looked on the Britannia website but there is just little ones that aren't much cop and this will be a present.

Thanks for any ideas,

Biscuit

Thanks go_edw. I rang them and apparently Britannia 757 models don't exist... Which is a shame. The only one on the market is two inches long!

Found this website Flight Miniatures who make Britannia 757 and 767 in 1:200 scale plastic. (about 9inches long 757)

However, looking on the Britannia website in the shop, the set of 3 aircraft for £6.25 looks exactly the same as the 1:200 scale plastic models that all airlines sell on-board... so thats probably your best bet...

There is also a quality 1:100 scale Britannia 757 model available, which is rather expensive.

Thanks guys! I've checked these out too. The 1:100 would be nice but as you say cringe it's a little pricy and the 9 inch models do look the same as Britannia'a own models which are a bit small, but thanks anyway jmc757.

I'll keep looking, maybe I can find an huge cheap inflatable 757 somewhere!

Regards,

Biscuit
