Are you doing a 1/48 version down the road?

I could certainly do that if there is a demand, yes. Even if I don't cast them, I could always 3D print them to order, so let me know.

 

Also, if you download the instructions, there is some dimension info in there that might help you figure out what you need.

pdf's won't open for me.

I'll check on that. If all else fails, email me and I'll send them to you.

My apologies, Tim, it just took a lot longer than I had assumed it would.

As most of you know, I've had printed WW2 US Carrier decks available for some time in 1:32. I recently tried a very expensive experiment, and used one of the 3D masters that I made for my own use to make a mold, and I've successfully cast a resin copy of it. So, if that is of interest to any of you, I'm willing to offer them as a special order item only. Here she is:

 

 

 

Each base will come unpainted in gray resin, and will include enough brass PE strips from Tom's Modelworks to complete the kit. This thing is 13" x 13" (330mm x 330mm) and about 1/4" (6.35mm) thick, so it will not fit in a pressure pot. As a result, there may be some small bubbles in the surface, but a coat of paint or primer will likely fill them up (you can see them in the previous pic. I've also added an additional tie-down channel to one end so multiple bases can be linked end-to-end to form a single long base if you like.

 

 

So, here's the rub - due to the cost of materials, I will not be keeping any of these in stock. I'll make them to order, and I'll have to charge 55 bucks plus shipping for each one in order to cover my cost and make a little for my effort. Shipping to the continental US should run about 12 bucks for one base. It's a lot, I know, but I kind of did it as an experiment, and figured someone out there might want one. So, let me know, and thanks!

IMHO that's not too much. I know someone who is making russian PAG-14 plates, about the same size of your flight deck, who is asking 100 USD per set. Very accurate ones, with the fine diamond thread surface and the sunken-in eyelets, but 100 bucks each

 

Very nice product line, indeed!

I'm in, I just need to measure how many I need for an F-105 or Hun.
