Of a kit maker who makes a kit of a Handley Page Hastings? (RAF Transport from the '50s.)

mapguy,

Go to this site and do a search, type in handley to see if any of those fill the bill.

Thanks for the link Richard. Never knew about that site. Lotsa stuff there. Unfortunately I still cannot find the Hastings.

The reason why I want to find one is that my Dad flew from the UK to Christmas Island (for Operation Grapple) in one and he still has a soft spot for it. I have checked on squadron.com and still I cannot find it there either. I am starting to think that there was no kit ever made for the Hastings.

A UK company called Aircraft in Miniature has a mixed media 1/72 kit:

Have heard of the company and seen photos of build-ups, but have never dealt with them or built one myself… You should be able to do a search and get some feedback from their customers.
Good luck.
