VBCW: King Edward VIII's Airliner



This Oxford Miniatures diecast model is a Dragon Rapide in the personal colours of Edward VIII, the 'traitor king', when he was Prince of Wales.

It is in 1:72 scale and very suitable for a Very British Civil War scenario.

The Rapide was the best prewar airliner. Examples are still flying today.

    Nice looking model. Now any chance of an Army shot of one of your VBCW factions. I'm starting out on my VCBW adventure and I'm building up my combatants.

    Dear John,
    The Dragon Rapide is a lovely aircraft. But the Douglas DC-3/Dakota was the better airliner by a considerable margin.
    As always,
    Dave

    Dear John,
    Different generation but same time:
    Dragon Rapide and Boeing 247--1934
    DC-3--1935
    Douglas had better engineers.
    Dave
