The green platform canopy, part of the "Trackside Series" theme, is compatible with railway layouts and showcases the intricate details of British Rail's Era 7. Perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of vintage railway models, this Airfix kit offers a glimpse into the past with its authentically designed platform canopy. I’m clearing out my parent’s loft , lots of vintage items to go on. Any questions please ask Thank you for looking
This is the original Airfix version of the platform canopy kit now available from Dapol. The main differences from Dapol's are: It comes in a box rather than a bag; the moulds were newer when it was manufactured, so there is less flash; and it is in pre-coloured (green) plastic rather than the light grey of Dapol's. Of course, if you want it grey rather than green, then the Dapol one might be better! Compared with other canopies (eg. Peco, Hornby), this makes rather a small one unless you combine several kits (luckily it is also rather cheaper), but it has the merit of including all the roof support frames and girders unlike the rather bare ones from the other manufacturers. The only down-side is the rather fiddly construction of the roof window frames, which are not moulded as part of the roof as one would have expected.
