Thank you all for your patience while I move house and workshop space. We are making progress, however slower than hoped but that I think is quite common with these types of projects. I am doing my best to be up and running as soon as possible as some income would be good to have as lots has been going out with nothing coming in, it was planned, so no real worry, and also grateful that my wife has a good full time job.

All being well Aerocraft will be up and operational in August, not sure of what date as of yet, but I will let you all know when it is up and running. 
However I will warn you all now, the processing of orders may take a few weeks to process initially so once again ask for your patience in the process of supplying your orders.

cheers Alistair (Ali)

A few more new releases available

The Kitty Hawk Mirage 2000C single seater has a stupid issue. KH actually only measured a two-seater 2000 and thought both planes had the same length! So, they overextended the front fuselage of the single seater at windshield level. This means the two-seater kit has a correct length part whereas the single-seater part is too long. A copy of the two-seater windshield part and simple fuselage cut can solve that on the 2000C model. So, I'm wondering if you would consider releasing a resin copy of the two-seater part to correct the other kit? This could be a quick win!

Even though I only got two guys come forward with a direct email to me about developing a 1/32 scale kit, I decided to go ahead. Both Chad and I wanted one so why not, at least we will have one. I am hoping that a few more join the gang so now is your opportunity. I have only a hand full ready and will be on sale at Blackbird Models stand at Telford this weekend.

If you would like to order one via the shop, and would like to get it still this year please place an order no later than the 13th November. That may even cut it tight as I need to order brass parts before Christmas shut down.

The kit has a few enhancements over the smaller scales. As mentioned brass undercarriage parts, open and closed cockpit door and canopy, decals for the instruments that fit under very thin 3D printed panels, and a set of seat harnesses 'Sutton' supplied to me via Peter at Airscale.

As promised new set that is available now.

I intend to resin cast the major parts, the smaller parts and the cockpit details will be 3D printed parts along with some decals.

I am wanting to keep the price as competitive as I possibly can and therefore at this stage I am not intending to do engine detail, other than a cylinder detail that can be seen through the intake. I intend to offer separate flying surfaces, but what is the thought on the flaps being separate parts, as when parked I think that they are mostly in the neutral position.

At this stage I cannot commit to a release date, but realistically it would be summer 2023.

There are now a number of excellent resin and PE correction and update sets for this kit, but what it also needs badly is a windscreen and canopy. They are a little short in height and look a little flat when assembled. The way the canopy is engineered creates a distortion at the join of the clear part and the lower fairing...which is also is difficult to glue together. 

There must be hundreds of these kits out there but I don't know if people are still willing to tackle the beast. Not sure if there would be a market which would make the effort worthwhile for you.

Anyway, just a thought...and I suppose too there is the question of which canopy profile to use.

Three new sets are available for the kits as above.

If you have an opportunity in your impossibly busy work schedule, is there any chance that you can throw some consideration to producing a replacement windscreen and canopy for the truly awful Revell 1/32 F-15C Eagle kit smoke tinted offerings please? (this is the only thing - apart from decals - stopping me from making/completing the kit I started back in the mid-80's!).

Many thanks

In particular my customers in the USA. For the last few months I have been covering the tariff charges on all orders from the U.S. as my web shop provider did not have a system where the 10% could be added to the order automatically through the website. Therefore it would have got really complicated and messy for both you the customer and myself to sort out and resolve each order. As of early in November the issue has now apparently been resolved by the provider, but due to me being busy one way or another I have not implemented it as yet. I now intend to implement the tariff charges through the website as of the 1 st December, so now would be a good time to place any orders you are contemplating.

Not to leave anyone out I would just like to say thank you to all the loyal customers world wide for your continued support. I will always do my best to assist where I can and offer the best products and service I can. I am always just an email away to help or resolve any issues.

Cheers Ali

Three new sets available. NOTE to customers in USA, with this week of uncertainty ahead, I will try and get all orders in the mail by Wednesday, any orders after that may have to be held till we know what procedure to follow to get product to you safely and without complications for you and I.
