Hi Guys A new brass undercarriage set for the recently released kit. https://aerocraftmodels.bigcartel.com/product/messerschmitt-bf108-brass-undercarriage-set-for-eduard-kit PLEASE NOTE all brass sets are now either back in stock or are getting restocked, so all are available to order but please be patient as there are many back orders that are going to be filled first.

Thank you, I shall purchase one then, I always NEED good books.

Is this the book you are speaking of?

Hi Chris Thank you for the message, I am glad they arrived safe and sound, enjoy your modelling and send me some pictures of the completed model / models. cheers Ali

Hi Dean You have not specified which ones, but as most are now sold out please email me your requirements so I can place them on back order for you. As to when....... I do not know, as soon as the lock down is lifted and the brass casting company returns to work, then add at least 3 weeks to that for them to get back into normal production times. Sorry but it is tricky times. Stay well and keep modelling. Ali

Well that is one of my next ports of call.....as you know I did start some work, but had material issues so I am slowly working back through some of these and others now that I am getting much improved results. I will keep you all informed over the next little while. Added to these I do have a few other little sets and possibly a larger one or two on the way for LSP subjects....... Ali

Hi Guys Well I know it has been a long time in coming but it is now available to order. https://aerocraftmodels.bigcartel.com/product/p-51-mustang-canopy-set cheers Ali

Hi Chuck Yes it is a temporary situation, I have put up notes on the products and in the COVID-19 tab. Due to the fact that I am unable to get production from the brass casting company I will be accepting emails for any items that you would like to order. As we have no idea how long the lock down will be in place I do not want to be taking your money and then not being able to supply for possibly months. Most resin products are available and or can still be supplied. Please email me on aerocraftmodels@gmail.com for any requirements. Ali

A few more sets are in the works but they cannot go to production until status 'normal' or 'nearly normal' returns......... but I will let you know as and when masters are completed

Hi Guys This set is now available for the Roden kit, offering great more strength and a little more detail than the kit parts. These are in limited numbers for now as the brass casting company has now closed, due to the current situation. see the link below https://aerocraftmodels.bigcartel.com/product/cessna-l-19-o-1-bird-dog Please all keep well and enjoy your modelling, Ali

Almost 99.9% sure this is the Special Hobby kit.

Hi Guys It has taken a little longer than I anticipated but these are now available, see here. https://aerocraftmodels.bigcartel.com/product/messerschmitt-me262-undercarriage-set-revell cheers Ali

Hi Guys Two new sets as were requested by quite a few modellers. The range is growing and I hope by this time next week to have another set available and there is at least two other sets in progress on the bench. Me 262 set https://aerocraftmodels.bigcartel.com/product/messerschmitt-me262-undercarriage-set-revell Typhoon set https://aerocraftmodels.bigcartel.com/product/airfix-typhoon-undercarriage-set cheers Ali

Hi Guys Please see the links for some new sets of brass undercarriage. There is a new set for the 1/32 scale Gladiator and two other sets that are for NON LSP kits BUT I am sure many of you will have them? Those being the new Tamiya P-38 F/G Lightning and for the new and long line of B-26 Invader kits from ICM. Gladiator https://aerocraftmodels.bigcartel.com/product/gloster-gladiator-undercarriage-set-icm P-38 https://aerocraftmodels.bigcartel.com/product/lockheed-p-38-f-g-lightning-tamiya B-26 https://aerocraftmodels.bigcartel.com/product/douglas-b-26-invader-icm Also as a little teaser there are 5 more LSP subject u/c sets in the works, 2 or three will be announced in the next 2 weeks and the others before the end of March. cheers Ali

Well I did the fuselage windows as well, so the early -5 is possible for your other options, your decals just open up some more options. I saw you were doing BUTCH, so I did not do that option on the night fighter.

Thank you Andy, some good information there, will come in handy for myself and others.

Some nice other options Jennings, just as well I have made some of the conversion parts. Other wise your night fighter would not even have BALLAST ON THE WING!!! and you would have had to produce decals to represent the fuselage windows, well it’s a thought! All the best with these and your other products.....of which I already have a few. Ali

Firstly thanks for the review, Andrew and Kevin. Have a look at my website there are quite a few more Hellcat options available right now, I know Andy will get to showing more in the next little while. As for the instrumentation.......Well I searched for information and pictures and did not come up with much other than what I will show below. IF anybody has any definative changes / information on instrumentation and radar scope well I may look at them....... MAYBE Quite a few have asked in various formats and the question has been answered but just to do that here, I am going to be offering a (fairly) comprehensive -3 conversion, new screen and side windows as have already been done and there will be other parts that are needed to make the -3, exterior mainly, BUT I do not intend to get hung up on small and minor cockpit details. IF there is a BIG item or items that need changing then I ask any experts to share or contribute that information SOON. So here is the picture I found on the WEB showing the SCOPE and also a picture of the supplied KIT part......yes some will pick me and it all apart but to me even in this large scale WHAT more could I do (Practically) to make it different, if you know how show me please??? The main square even in 1/24 scale is 4mm x 4mm, and it could be made to look like a scope I am sure? Thanks to all that support all my various products, quite a few more will be following soon, in various scales BUT of course there will be LSP subjects. Ali SORRY could not get pictures to load up as normal but links below are working well I think so??? https://www.flickr.com/photos/154612402@N07/49507430091/in/dateposted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/154612402@N07/49506919243/in/dateposted-public/

Hi Guys Here is a bumper set of new releases all in one go, available for ordering and shipping right now (well over the next few days) Basically a few stand alone decal sheets, to be used in conjunction with the kit decals, early F6F-5 fuselage windows, and a few F6F-5N conversion sets with decals. Before you all ask, yes I am working on the F6F-3 conversion, this will also be done with a few decal sheet options. Release date for the -3 ???????? next few months. Best to visit here to get all the information. https://aerocraftmodels.bigcartel.com/category/1-24th A few pictures for colour (or color for US friends)

I will be working on the u/c for this and a few other LSP subjects over the next few weeks during the Christmas holidays. There was not much point in rushing ahead as the brass casting company closes this week till the 6 th January. All being well if I have done what I need to then I would hope and expect product towards the end of January. cheers Ali

That is a great price, I was waiting to see what price it would be set at, count me in for a British one as soon as I am able to get one, and possibly another later next year. Great work and fantastic subject, it looks very good in the pictures shown.

Hi Guys The Hunter sets are now shipping, most of them have already been mailed out, just a few more to be sent in the next few days. Thanks to all that have supported the project and that have already purchased, I look forward to seeing some built up soon. There is now new and improved instructions available to down load off the website. Ali

Would you guys be happy with a set of brass u/c parts from me? Aerocraft Models. i presume both single and two seater have the same u/c, been wanting to get a 2 seater for a while so I could pick one up to do the parts. Ali

Thanks for the review, as always it is appreciated. Nick the triangular section is an additional bracket so that attaches to the new resin wheel door that are supplied with the brass parts. Ali
