Photoetch Kits?

[Mossie]

Does anyone know of any photoetch Kits?  I've done a few of the Metal Earth kits and Piececool commercial sets and got on well with the ones I've done.  I fancy doing some 'real' kits.

I know AIM Historic Wings do some early machines in etch and Flightpath do a Beaverette and some buildings.  Does anyone know of other kits or manufacturers?

Thanks,

Simon

Eduard did a series of stripdown kits, discontinued some time ago, but they show up used.

Thanks Jon.  I remember some years ago I fancied doing the cellon covered "invisible" Eindecker for a stealth theme.  I knew a structural kit existed but I didn't know who by.

Jon mentioning those Eduard kits has reminded me that Brengun do this Mossie https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/BRS144018?result-token=RA2US, but it's 1/144

im certain some one did a etch kit for the Macross Valkyrie     https://www.gunjap.net/site/?p=82758    for a pic, weather you can still egt it or not.....

Jasmine Models, Tom linked to them. I looked at getting a Ho.229 for the captured GB, to mix and match with the Revell kit, but it's expensive at around £60.  The Valkyrie kit is well over £100.

That's the main problem I find with etched kits, they're pricey.

David Parkins (Flightpath) does a bunch of etch kits too.

I may be crazy, but I do fancy that one!

Thanks Robert.  There's one I vehicle I know of, the Beaverette Mk.III, the rest are buildings or trollies.

Airco DH.2 in 1/144?

Building the frame piece by piece?

You're a masochist, Mossie!

Yup and I thought he was quite a sensible young lad when I've chatted with him at shows

Don't let that fool you!

It's interesting that I can't find a single build article on it!

It was covered in the April 2014 issue of the Hungarian magazine Pro Modell, build by Szabo Akos.
Here's what he did with it:

Akos has a Facebook page, so you could try asking him his thoughts.

He's an incredible modeller across multiple genres including sci-fi/What If? etc.
One of his sci-fi builds using a P-47 fuselage:
