1/16th scale Cessna A-37B Dragonfly

Post by pvanroy » Sat Sep 21, 2013 5:00 pm

Hi,

I'm new to the board, I became a member when I read about the upcoming 1/18th scale Ta 183. Found this on eBay - thought it might be of interest, for anyone who has $ 2000 to burn:

Welcome!! and thanks for the link.
Interesting its made in Vietnam and out of wood. :idea: now you've got a prototype in wood, not to
far from resin or even plastic production. :wink:

Thanks everyone for the welcome! In fact, I was also thinking they could use the wooden model as a master for a resin kit, so I dropped them an e-mail asking if they'd considered this, as it would surely widen their market. Not expecting too much of it, but you never know!

No thanks - and very happy to help! I'd really love to see a Ta 183 in 1/18th!

A couple of days ago, I actually received a reply to my question whether they would consider doing a resin kit:

"Dear Peter,
I am so sorry because the late replying. Thank you very much for your great idea of this model. I also think about it, and we may do it in future. Anyways, your message is very important for us. We will contact you after we release this model in resin material.
Have a nice day,
Kind Regards,

So, it may actually happen one day!
