Hi

I'm looking for an air-defence balloon as you would see around for instance London in WW2. Are there any around? Any help, hint, suggestion or whatever will be greatly appreciated.

While I don't kow of an actual kit for a barrage balloon, I do have a 1/76 plan for one. It is in an old Airfix Magazine Guide (#27) on RAF vehicles. If you think this would help, let me know and I'll scan it for you.

Hi Geoff,

I would definately like to receive those scans, they would be great because the chances i'll find a real model are probably very slim. If it's not too much trouble, you could send them to: [email protected] (no storage limit).

Many thanks in advance
