Obscure vacform kits and companies

[jasper15]

Good evening Ladies and Gents,

 

Anybody owned/built a vacform kit manufactured by Planes?

What type? Iirc there were a couple of companies that used that name over the years

1/72 Russian Sukhois.

 

Would it be correct to assume that "Planes" is a range, not a specific company?

[Dave Fleming]

Rings a bell, I may have had a Yak 15 and 17. Iirc, typical 80s Eastern European vacs with well defined parts

Any idea who these companies were?

This sounds very much like the vacforms produced by a company, or perhaps more likely an individual, under the PSC label.  I has the Sukhoi 6s mentioned above, the Shavrov amphibian, the LaGG 3, La 5UTI, the Yak jets, and probably a few others.  They were nice little models.  I obtained them from a Czech modeller called Rostislav Mraz, but he didn't say anything that I recall about his sources.

Happy to be corrected, but I believe PSC are Polish.

 

To the best of my knowledge, they produced two kits, both in 1/72
