  1. Actually not yet. The vendor I was hoping to use can’t handle that large of an order at this time. Do you have someone in mind? DM me the info. Thanks
  2. Hey guys thanks for all the great feedback and support. This idea originated on the FB racing aircraft models page and because of the low parts count it is considered a good candidate to test out recasting a Fisher product and to see quality of our castings. I want this to represent what Paul was producing. This kit was also one of Paul’s best sellers so that was another reason for choosing this as the first subject. I’m just waiting to meet up with the caster and give him the kit. I’m doing some behind the scenes work to see about improving some things on the kit as well. Stay tuned. There will be another update after the Nationals in Vegas next week. Thanks Shane
  3. It’s a long ways away to know if this work out well enough to release other Fisher kits. Some Fisher kits won’t be considered for rerelease because of numbers Paul has given me on how few of the kits originally sold. One kit that did sell very well for him was the Fat Face. It’s definitely on the list to consider rereleasing.
  4. Hi guys, I've been an LSP member for quite awhile but haven’t posted in a few years. I was on a Racing Models Facebook page and someone was looking for a Fisher 1/32 RB-51. It gave me an idea to see if I could reproduce a new run of RB-51’s from new moulds. I’ve talked to Paul Fisher and he has given the project his blessing. I have a casting guy on board and I have a friend that is going to let me use his pristine RB-51 to make the new moulds off of. My idea to produce a run of 50 kits and if the first run sells out possibly doing a second run of 50. That’s probably all there will ever be. If this venture is successful enough some other Fisher Models subjects may see the light of day again as well. I’m not asking for deposits but I would like to start building a list of serious interested buyers so I can gauge interest in the project. Please post in this thread if you would like to see the RB-51 available to buy again. Cost has not been figured yet but I will keep costs down as much as possible and am not looking to Jack the price up just because the kit is being rereleased. thanks Shane Pulliam
  5. I just received the contact information for a caster that a friend of mine's father in law used to produce finely cast brass products for HO scale railroads like switch signs and such. I'll try to make contact over the weekend or Monday. I'll see what is required for a setup and cost per set. The OV-10 will be the first set we focus on. Thanks Shane
  6. I'm trying to get contact info as we speak for a brass caster that we had some good luck with. If I can source a caster to do some gear work I'll be doing the OV-10 and Tigercat gear first. If those are relatively successful we'll venture onto other subjects as a coop. If you saw the Privateer at Nationals, it had a brass cast nose gear from the caster we used. Keep your fingers crossed that we can get something going soon. I wouldn't hold out for Ernie at G-factor. He's a nice guy and does nice work but is very often incommunicado, not just a recent or current bottleneck. Thanks Shane
  7. I just checked out the menu for Brother Sebastian's! Man o man, I think we are going to eat well that night! Looking forward to meeting the gang! Shane
  8. Hey Brian, Can you add me and my buddy Roger to the reservation for dinner on Friday night Thanks Shane
  9. Glad to see Paul has finally let the cat out of the bag. Buried in the A-10 nose correction thread on his page is the announcement of a forthcoming A-1E conversion with possibly of other versions like the AEW with the radome on the belly. I'm super excited to see a 1/32 Fat Face coming and with the caliber of work we are used to seeing from Fisher Models!
  10. Yes Ernie, Harold's prop is correct for the B/D. I have one for my B build. Nice that quick boost released a prop but it's about as useful as the "A" prop that Kittyhawk put in their kit which is useless. I wonder if they will release a "B" or "C" prop.
  11. Chuck I think the Eduard B-17 engine will work. I have the set of 4 for the B-17 and plan to use one on my T-28 build.
  12. The Aires/Quickboost "A" prop is a bit misleading. It's like a replacement prop for the civilian/warbird A models that use the 3 blade prop. To my knowledge, you don't see those blades on a B or C model T-28. Those are not the blades you made Harold. Your blades are the closet thing you'll find to a true B model 3 Blade prop. The kit comes with the A model 3 blade and the C model short wide 3 blade props. So far Harold has the only B model blades available.
  13. Of all the new releases I'm looking forward to, this is number one on my list! Can't wait to get one. Thanks Shane
  14. Great work Carl! I'm just in the final stages of my ZM A-1J. Very enjoyable build. I'd love to have a 1/32 A-1E/AD-5 to sit next to my two single seat Spads. One can only hope. 😉 -Shane
