The shuttle just because it was there and the mossie for the group build if it gets off the ground.

The 4th piece of the puzzle has arrived and I'm now back to my old rule of "No Kits", at least for a while. This kit is from 1991 and I have to say, quite nicely done for a full resin kit,


The pieces were cast and packaged pre-cleaned without casting stubs back then, not like a lot of new resin kits. Here's what I mean,


Hardly any cleanup to be done at all. Also, these Airmodel resin kits sold for over DM100 back in 1991 too. The tiny parts are cast in a very thin resin sheet and a breeze to clean up. I got lucky and snagged this baby for €29 delivered off evilbay. The downside is the tires are molded in two halves. If they don't cut it, Panzer Art makes resin replacements.....Soon I will post up what the puzzle is all about. Some know, most don't...................

That almost looks injection moulded quality Allen!

Hi Allen
I've never tackled a full resin kit, only resin conversion kits. This looks a real beauty.

These old kits are like this Guys. In the 90's there were a few makers that produced excellent kits like this. The downside was the price. They made a lot of kits that were never and still, not made in plastic. Takom did this kit in plastic, but with errors.....

Jim, you should give one a try my friend. With your skills, it should be a breeze for you to build. Have a look at Brach Models, DES and most (no longer made) Airmodel resin kits. Just stay away from the vacuform ones....Oh, and get some Ca to use for them too......
