Hi folks

Any advice on the best 1:72 Avto Shackleton kit to get from current Airfix and Revell kits?

I have the Airfix AEW 2 in my stash, not yet started but it looks very good.

Can't comment on the Revell one.

Can't comment on the kits themselves, but one 'plus' for the Airfix kit is the inclusion on the decal sheet of the red/white/red prop-blade tips.

If you tap in 'Airfix Shackleton AEW.2 review' on your PC, there is at least one YouTube film which gives an intro to the kit.

    Find the site Britmodeller and search; you should find lots of information.
