anyone built any airmodel Vacforms??

[chrisonord]

If so are they any good or enough to give me a coronary. As the kit I want will be the first vac form I have done if I get one.
Cheers.

Chris,

they tend to be very much early generation vac-forms and as such rather basic.
I built the T-28 Trojan a long time ago, as a T-28D of the S. Vietnam AF, and I was realy pleased with it until eventualy the Heller kit came along.
I still have a few in my stash, and who knows they may get built.
What I will say is that given the years that Airmodel has been there, and the subjects that they have produced, they may be the only way you will get that subject.
Final comment, if anyone has an Airmodel Me-263 that they would be happy to get rid off, please, pretty please, PM me.

Cheers for that Jim,
I am a complete newbie and totally petrified when it comes to Vac forms, but when I saw their Mig-21 E8, in 1/72nd scale, I thought wow
I want one of those. I also like the look of the C140 too, so maybe I could take the gamble I suppose, I just don't want the disappointment and expense of fubaring it.
Cheers
Chris.

Airmodel kits cover a lot of ground chronologically as the "company" has been in around with
different owners since at least the early seventies, if not the late sixties.

The later kits are better and the current owner has redone some subjects along with
small corrections and adding resin details etc. The E8 appears to be one of the later
Airmodel kits.

Why not order it from Airmodel?

Also there is a Huma Me 263 (injection moulded) currently on Ebay UK:

Thanks Jon,

and now I realise my mistake, it is actually the Me 163C that I am looking for.
