Exactly. This project was simply a "favor" to us modelers to have something no mainstream kit maker or resin company would take on. The amount of rubber and resin, plus more time than I care admit too, I am just barely paying for the materials and that's it, no profits at all. Not to mention all the work and money spent by you in parts and shipping things back and forth, while working on the masters. blackbetty, LSP_Ray and thierry laurent 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheetah11 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Well Harold I thank you for the effort. My example have shipped last week and this conversion will save me a huge lot of time in the quest for a1/32 F4U-5N.

LSP_Ray Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Well, hopefully someone will come to our rescue and release a late model Corsair series. I would love to do an AU-1 with ord hanging out everywhere. If I get really motivated to do one myself, I will let everyone know, but it would definitely be long in the future and maybe by then 3D will be the way to go.

I have a cousin who has a girlfriend who overheard the barista at her local Starbucks tell another customer that her dad saw some folks from Tamiya measuring one at a local air show last week.

I can usually get between 12 and 15 pours in most of the molds (some molds will do more)...I am at 14 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
