The title says it all, being posted for a friend who does not understand Newsgroups.

He has a lot of models from a house clearance from a passed away relative, and we believe the highlight is the Fokker Frienship in Air Lingus colours. He was told it's extremly rare as Aer Lingus are not more and it was certainly the pride of the collection,

It's believed to be complete and untouched as a kit, although some parts have come away from the moulding supports. It has untouched decals, the instructions sheet , and in a pretty good shape box

Aer Lingus is going through hard timers, as are most air carriers...but they are very much alive. But, even if they *were* "no more"...how does that affect a model? A model done in Braniff, or Eastern, liveries...is no "rarer", nor more valuable, than one done in American or Southwest Airlines.

Aahhh....is their anything *more* eye catching than a Constellation in the classic Aer Lingus markings?

How about an old (I think) Lockheed Electra in Mohawk Airlines (precurser to USAir) or a 1:72 Nihon YS-11 in Ozark Airlines colors?

I think that *anything* in the Ozark livery, particularly the light "teal-ish" green...is spectacular. That is even one of my "Top Three" choices, for when I get ready to paint my Minicraft DC-3. Southern Airways, and Bonanza, being the others.
