Wow!! I haven't done a model plane since I was about 15. No chance of doing one these days as I wouldn't be able to grip the brush unless it was an inch wide :ooo

An ex-mate in the Phil used to spend £1000's on this type of thing :yikes:

There used to be a nice independant specialist model plane shop in Central London. A few years ago it was taken over by a bigger company. They still specialise in toys and model planes though.

There website is http://www.modelzone.co.uk/

At the bottom there is a link to model clubs, this might be what you are looking for. Or you could e-mail them direct to try and get an idea of value? Make sure you get a second iopinion though from another source though if you plan to sell them.

Just checked the model clubs section and that seems to be limited and mainly applies to model railways.

You could still contact the company and see if they can help though.

If you're not going to build them, I'm sure a local hospital/charity for really ill kids would be very grateful :thumbs ... or the local church.
