jono Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hi Guys, wondering if anyone can help, I am trying to find Aeroclubs 1/48th Dragon Rapide from a few years ago. Dont suppose anyone has one tucked away behind the sofa/in the loft/in the garage/hidden away so the wife wont find it (delete as applicable) that they want to dispose of ? thanks in advance jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick b Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Hi jono, I recall reading a thread some time ago on another well known forum (when Rapides were reaching ridiculous prices on ebay) that Aeroclub were working on re-releasing the kit as a completely injection moulded one rather than having the previous vac formed fuselage. However no indication was given of when the release might be. Regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marty_hopkirk Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) Kiwi Resins make a 48th scale kit with some nice engine and interior detail. Orion Miniatures are to shortly release what they claim will be a state of the art Rapide in quarter scale, with decal options for BEA and 'Woman of the Empire' machines. http://orionminiatures.com/model.php?mUID=1001 Despite the page saying it ready for order, my understanding it is not quite ready yet.
