    Well, chemo is done for the time being. Feel good other than for a lingering side effect which is still slowing output: numbness and freezing sensation in fingers (and feet, but that's incidental to our needs). Lots of dropping things and difficulty with the more complex products that require extensive wire manipulation. The A-4 and Revell 109 sets are proving to be particularly troublesome. I'm told this problem could last up to 2 years. I certainly hope not! We'll do our best to overcome the challenge and soldier on as best as we can.
     
    The extreme delays you have been facing with orders is over for the time being. We have eliminated the pre-order process as that was causing more headaches than it was worth. So, if you have specific wants please email me through the website and we'll see what we can do. I promise to be more faithful in answering than in the recent past.
     
    Well, that's where things stand at the moment. Will have another health update on or about 30 May 2023.
     
    Thank you for your continuing support and extreme patience during this unpleasant period.
     
    Cheers,
    Damian

    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

    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.

    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.

    Having been to Reno on several occasions, including the 50th anniversary race, I love the RB 51.
    However, already owning a copy of Paul's kit, I personally would not be buying another. I might suggest rereleasing a different kit of Paul's if more sales are the goal. I could be wrong, and the RB might garner enough orders, but it seems a more popular kit might bring in more money.
     
    I also understand this is more about the RB 51 and not necessarily about bringing Paul's kits back to life.
