Some very interesting new releases form JETMADS

Anyone heard of these guys before?

 

Some really cool stuff on the horizon like the Skystreak, Stillhetto, Learjet and a few others.

I just stumbled across their Facebook page myself, which appears to be all about the Skystreak. I'm most intrigued by the possibility of a 1/32 scale Learjet! One to keep an eye one, for sure!

Hopefully something comes of their announcements, looks like great potential there!

At the bottom of one of their pages it says that they are limiting each release to 500 kits.  I was excited to see the Ouragan

Do I take it these will be resin kits? Couldn't see any reference to IM?

Their "About us" section lends me to believe they are to be 3D printed.

What a fantastic line-up - I truly hope they can carry through.  The painted model pics of the Skystreak are spectacular.

Yes and the views of the final 3D parts trees suggest that those will be resin cast.  

 

On another note, I asked them about payment types since they only mention bank draft and western union.  I haven't had the best of luck with WU.  Anyway, they cannot take PayPal as Turkey is not one of their servicing countries.  They did say that they are working on other methods such as direct credit card payments.

Really great lineup of kits! As was mentioned, I hope at least some of them make it to fruition.

The 32nd Stiletto and 32nd Lear are of great interest to me personally.

They have an X-3 on the list... fascinating

Upon even further research, #3 which is what this kit is based on is sitting down at the aviation museum in Charlotte.  Hoping to go in a few weeks to get some good pics.

This looks very promising. The Ouragan was a topic for which I considered the scratchbuilding approach more than once (same idea for the SMB2). However it seems that even such rather 'far from mainstream' subjects are not anymore protected from the commercial release syndrom! Wait and see as it is not the first time I'm seeing a very professional looking website promising large scale releases but that finally vanished after getting the money of some pre-orders...

This announcement was just made on their Facebook page about an hour ago:

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT PAYMENT METHODS

Please be informed that we have immediately started working on providing alternative payment methods everybody will feel comfortable with, including credit card payments. Please keep following for updates.

Thank You

I did see that.  Glad I could help give them an umph in the right direction.  As soon as they get a good payment source, I will take the plunge and pre-order a d558. 

 

I did find out that PayPal is not allowed in the entire country of Turkey.  Their license was revoked and they were pushed out.  Not sure why, but after reading that, it helps ease some concerns.
