Looking through my copy of Royal Air Force Flying Review (Nov 1960)
there's a two-page advert for Eaglewall Plastics Ltd and the logo is
definitely the Eagle of Eagle magazine fame.

There are various series but the one in this edition is 'Sinking of the
Bismark' and in the complete series there are;

German Battleship Bismark and heavy Cruiser Prinz Eugen.

British Battleships - HMS Hood, HMS King George V, HMS Prince of Wales,
HMS Rodney.

British Aircraft Carriers-HMS Victorious, HMS Ark Royal.

HMS Dorsetshire, HMS Norfolk, HMS Suffolk.

British "Tribal" Class Destroyers - HMS Cossack, HMS Zulu, HMS Maori,
HMS Sikh.

Other text on the pages states;

Other Eaglewall Battle series now available:-

Series 1. Battle of the River Plate.
Series 2. Capture of the Altmark.
Series 3. Battle of Narvik.
Series 4. Battle of the Atlantic.

I take it that some of the moulds were bought up ?

Interesting nevertheless!

Richard.

Pyro, certainly, reissued some of these.

Where they may have gone after that, if anywhere, I don't know.

Cheers,

Life-like, then on to Lindberg, but where from there, I don't know.

They should make posters out of these old adverts. The adverts are
sometimes more interesting than the articles.

As to the Airfix Halifax advert "even the turrets move" or something to
that effect.
