Hi Concorde and welcome to the Scale Models forum. I think if you posted some pictures on here you may get some sound advice and guidance as to how to go about comopleting the task and if you were looking for someone to do the job for you they would probably have a better idea after some discussion on the forum.

Lets have a look at the model if possible. You say it's wood so is it a home built scratch model or is it an ex window display model?

Hi, its a ex window display model and its shame keep this model in storage room. Iam collector and I dont have any contacts with somebody who know fix it in my area. I found one company but they are pretty expensive. My offer is 150 pounds plus shipping costs.

I think the nose repair would be relatively straightforward but the repaint is a whole different story. There will be quite a bit of time required for that so hopefully your offer will attract someone.

It's a lovely model and of course for me, it's a shame to spoil the BA colour scheme so I wouldn't want to paint over it!

Could you tell us where you are? I suppose another possibility would be to sell it as it is?

The model is in Liverpool, UK and I'll send it to repair anywhere in UK. Its not for sale, I already own one in BA livery, thats the reason why I want brand new repaint in landor colours.

As Richard stated the repair is straight forward, I think the dilemma will arise from paint matching, with it been a shop window piece, a good chance the sun will have faded the white to a degree, the paint could be matched up, but this is where the pennies start to stack up.And most places will only do a minimum mix of 500 ml.
