Vintage Bristol 170 Freighter Mk31 Diecast Model Airplane by Skyline, England
Another rare model airplane - this time from Skyline.
This is model reg. G-AMLJ - a Bristol 170 Freighter Mk 31 in the livery of BKS Air Transport London.
If you search for this plane you can find actual photos of it parked at Dusseldorf airport in 1961.
Apparently this plane was named "John Moody" and regularly opperated a cargo & pax flight between UK & DUS at that time, mainly for the military. (There's lots of interesting history about it if you search!)
I understand the scale is 1:200 and it is a hand made / painted model in metal.
This plane measures approximately 10.5cm long and 16.5cm wing tip to tip.
Weight is around 180 grams.
Damage: although the colour of the livery is good unfortunately there is damage to the landing gear - the main wheels are missing - as well as the props. It also looks as if there has been a little damage to the tail paint at some stage. The aerials on the roof are very soft and easily misshapen.
I have a few spare parts - although not original - and I am including them with the sale. There are two props (not sure if the size is right ? - some wheels from another model, as well as some parts from a stand (not matching pieces). Hopefully with some skill, ingenuity (and a drop or two of super glue) you will be able to get her airworthy again and make a nice display out of this really beautiful old model.
Any questions, please ask and please do check all the photos.
