Although the two bags of models purchased at the Chicago show would indicate otherwise, I’m really trying to skinny down my collection and be far more selective about what I add. One model that has eluded me so far is the Rover Jet 1 Turbine by Crossway Models, a shuttered white metal maker from England.
There is currently one listed on eBay for more than I’m comfortable paying (with shipping) but I wondered if anyone knows of another source?

Love that one too Randy. It is on my list also but so far a little expensive.

The only other places I often see white metal from U.K. makers - and very cheap - are Vectis and Catawiki auction platforms though by the time I click on them at google images, the sales are long gone. Perhaps worth keeping an eye on up-coming sales - certainly at Vectis. https://www.vectis.co.uk

That's a bit high, but I saw the Rover Jet (1950s replica) on the Isle of Man a while ago! (for almost free)! 😉
