[WWI] Kits from South Africa

[Joel Christy]

  Yeah, I remember them. I did a build review of the Vimy for Scale Models Intnl. in vol.29 no.353 in 1998. I t was a big bugger and it built up my biceps when I did the rigging! For such a big resin model it was very stable and has retained it's shape after all these years in the loft (despite the pidgeon!). TC Models also did a WWI patrol boat and a Short 184 in 1/48. Aeroclub used to carry them but I don't if they have them anymore.
   
  Cheers,
   
  Joel

The article was on the internet. I have not physically seen these kits, do not know if they were resin or scale. Do any of the members here recall them? I am not even sure if they were marketed.
