  Steve,
   
  Thanks for the offer to post the Oxford model. Here's some blurb to accompany the photos:
   
  'The Airspeed Oxford was an important and widely used trainer of the RAF and other commonwealth airforces. There are a few preserved aircraft, including one at the RAF Museum, Hendon and IWM Duxford. Surprisingly few models exist of the aeroplane, although Frog did release a 1:72 scale kit some years ago, as did Airfix. This model is in 1:48 scale and from the Sanger vacform range. Full details, in a photoessay format, of how it was made can be found on my website 
   
  (http://www.aircraftscalemodeling.com/ASM2001/Frames%20Pages/C%20-%20ModelBuild%20F.htm). 
   
  The model features a fully detailed interior, and cockpit. As with all vacforms, you have to be prepared for some extra work - but the kit was not too difficult to make. Next on the list is a Vickers Wellesley!'
   
  Here's the photos - they re fairly large - hope they arrive OK. I've also attached some photos I took of the preserved aircraft at Duxford. Feel free to select those pictures you need.
   
  Best regards
   
  Richard
