This broke cover at Tibenham today. I have been working on her for a few months now. HSDJets L-39 with a Swiwin 80B. Not a new model and not to pretty close up, but as a first turbine model she will do for me. Did not fly but i did conduct some ground tests which have highlighted a few issues. Now to get those sorted and commit her to the air. -
Just for @Ron Gray Not had time to do them justice really.

If I remember correctly, I pulled this from their webpage. Which I can not now seem to find. For items that are brand new in the box and are still currently sold in model shops the price we will usually get for them is around 50-75% Of the current RRP. (For Example an item that costs £100 will usually sell for £50-75) For Items that used but are in excellent condition (Like New) and are still available to be purchased from a model shop the price we usually sell these for is 50-75% of the current RRP. (For Example an item that costs £200 will usually sell for £100-150) For most items however they do usually show signs of being used but are still available to be purchased from a model shop for example a perfectly working engine that shows signs of use and has a few marks on it (No Broken mounting lugs or fins) we will usually get around 25-35% of the current RRP. (For Example an engine costing £400 we will usually sell this for £100-150) For items that have been either repaired or damaged such as an engine with a repaired exhaust port or missing parts or a servo with a broken mounting lug or a brushless motor with a bent shaft these usually have very little value. For items that are still perfectly usable just outdated and no longer available these will usually have a minimal value such as old 35mhz gear and old servos this will usually have a resale value of around 5-10% of the original RRP . For items based mainly on technology such as Multi-rotors these are very difficult sellers due to the technology inside them continuously being updated for a standard Hobby Grade Multi Rotor this will usually have a value of 10-15% of the original RRP while Professional grade systems can vary between 5-15% of the original RRP, Airframes that are sold as (Airframe only) If they're in pristine condition these will usually sell for 40-60% of the current RRP. For used airframes that haven't been repaired this number will usually be around 25-40% of the current RRP While Airframes that are well used and have minor repairs these usually sell for 10-15% of the current RRP No where can I see what you have for sale. The closest would be "For Items that used but are in excellent condition (Like New) and are still available to be purchased from a model shop the price we usually sell these for is 50-75% of the current RRP." The only difference being that none of you models are still available! This does not normally make them more desirable, indeed the possible lack of spare parts makes them worth less. Let us know how you get on as I have a workshop in need of a serious declutter. -

Without checking my many reference books I seem to recall the yellow square was to indicate if the patch had been subject to "gas" I.E. mustard gas and others of course. -
I fly with the BMFC Bury Model Flying Club https://bmfc.bmfa.club/ OK it is in Suffolk, but not by much. You are most welcome to make contact and pop along one day if you want. Where in Norfolk are you based @BobbyH?

But wait!!! Elegoo have just announced the "Centauri Carbon." The price will shock you, just £299 for a Bambu spec printer. No AMS but I gather it is coming. I am seriously tempted to get one or two and ditch one of my P1S https://uk.elegoo.com/products/centauri-carbon?srsltid=AfmBOopP8UV5a2TNeVsaGkSyQ-gWSW-L63bJvM_Hvm3XYzYzOMypHRa6 Release video.
