Dear Sir,

Please can you help ...... I am trying to find information on a model of the QE2 that I have, do any of your members know who the manufacture of the model is and what sort of age it is? all I can seem to find out is that it may be from around the 1970's and an early model as the funnel is white, I am also looking to sell the model if anyone is interested.
 
Regards,

Hi John,

Beautiful model.

I am pretty sure this is the 1/600 scale plastic model kit manufactured by Airfix.

If yes, length must be 48.8 cm (19.25 inches).

Hello John,

It is indeed the Airfix model of QE2. I built my first one around 1969 as soon as it became available. I think they may have produced further runs of the model in later years but  same moulds. I built another one recently which I got on ebay which had been lying in someone's attic for 40 years or so.
Good luck with selling your model. I'm sure there will be interest in it.

While rummaging around in my attic treasures I came across this.  Its' a toy I bought onboard QE2 and have had since 1972.  The mast is detachable and now missing but I can't believe I still have the motor and that it still works!  I'll have to fashion a new mast somehow...

I normally take a shower rather than a bath, but with that, I'd be tempted to switch!

There is one advertised on E-bay at the moment Rob, if you really want one for your BATH !!

Bidding Ends today in approx 9 hours from now. Starting Bid £ 14.99

Do you have a link?  I might get it if the price is right so I can replace the mast on mine.

The auction has ended but not to worry, this one did not have a mast either.

Just noticed this Airfix model on eBay.  29 pounds 99, 15 days left with 5 watchers.

Interesting review here in 'Fine Scale Modeller' of the Revell 1:1200 QE2 by "jamesatmaisonverre"

Just added my vote for a new model of QE2.

I received a Revell model kit for Christmas, a dual kit of QE2 and QM2. At 1:1200 scale it is not very detailed but a bit of fun nonetheless when I am able to get the time to put it together.

I think we should notify Revell of their mistakes (plural).
