I just couldn't find the love for this one I cut a lot of corners finishing it. I know it's a Viscount but there is just something about this model that either does not seem right or just doesn't "do" it for me.
The only thing I am happy with is the decal design.. I enjoyed that.

anyhoos, I am calling it done

Looks dam fine to me.
I have heard/read somewhere that the front/crown of the Mach 2 Viscount is too "boxy", but it looks like a Viscount to me.
Great job as usual Wal !!!

I was actually going to have a bet with Graeme that you would say that. So either you are predictable Wal or I can mind read?

scary that... but I have done research in last couple of hours..I can do a Twotter, Bandierante or Friendship in that scheme buggered if I am going to build another Mach 2 Viscount!
I have an airfix Friendship kit but it is earmaked for MMA "Jetstream Service", I have a Revell Twotter but I hate the too thick "B" Pillars and it was earmarked for either Taliar, Skywest or East West.
Bandits are resin and expensive I dont want to build another sigh.

Hi Tor,
Liberty quality kits in Brazil produced the Brasilia and Bandit kits I built (as well as the Buffalo) he stopped producing these after a bout of illness then started again.
I found his website: http://www.libertyquality.com.br/ and it seems he sells mainstream kits now.
He was a top bloke, communicated well in English send him an email see if he has any left
