Deleted - this is not the wanted area.

The kits arrived a couple days ago. Very basic, but the plastic is thick. I am going to get started on the XC-47 i always wanted a C-47 on floats. The Fairchild Super 71 is incredible. As shown here, they can be made into beautiful models. Walter

OMG! You guys are insane! Absolutely incredible builds! Walter

You are very right Marko. The vacuform kits are male molds and lack detail. Like I said, I have no connection the the Herril family. But I looked for almost two years for a set of floats for my DC-3. I was going to start carving them but I hardly have enough time to build three or four models a year, carving floats would have taken me for ever. Sometimes you have to buy some models while they are around. Like all them Dujin, Sharkit, Formaplane and VLE models, just to mention a few, that I never got a chance to buy no matter how crude they were. Who else makes a Fairchild super 71? And yes, look here, they can be done into incredible models. . Walter

Fellow modelers, I know is bad timing but I was on a quest to find me a set of XC-47 Floats. I looked everywhere, no joy! A fellow modeler gave me and old e-mail address to the family that now makes Execuform kits. Well, guess what? I got me a pair of DC-3 Floats. I am in no way associated with the Herril family but I wanted to share the news with you all. I got permission from them to show you all their contact info and the list and price of the vacuform kits they continue to produce. I am always trying to help out model enthusiast especially when help is needed. So I placed a large order!!! Regards, Walter Houston, TX P.S. And to think I was willing to pay $200 for a set of floats, now I got $200 worth of cool rare kits.

Thanks, I just placed an order.

I was not aware of that. I am going to Classic-airliners right now. Thanks a million. P.S. I am hunting for the AA piece if any one has it though!

Does any one has a spare/extra 1/96 Authentic Airliners Viscount 800 conversion plug? I am very interested in one. Trade/purchase? Regards, Walter

I like 1/48 scale racers. Only do Mustangs though! And recently Contrails Models came up with the Strega and the Red Baron. http://www.contrailsmodels.com/Complete_Kits.html I got 1/48 scale drawings from Mr. Taichiro Yamashita. http://www.taichiunlimiteddrawings.com/ http://www.pylon1.org/articles/publish/index.shtml They are excellent and I am using them to scratch build my own Miss Ashley. A mustang with Learjet wings? AWESOME!!!!!! Walter

I order my kits directly from the site. They take PAYPAL so it makes it easy for me to purchase the kits I like. I just recently order the On Mark Marksman conversion as well as the Conroy Tri-Turbo Polair DC-3 conversions. I believe I got my kits in two weeks to the USA. Walter

Thanks very much for the great links fellows. Classic Plane has the conversion http://www.classic-plane-mrr.de/listen/classicplane.html CPi18 Junkers F-24 (single engined G-24 Airliner) 17,98 euros Walter

The one I have in the stash is just like this one; http://www.oldmodelkits.com/index.php?detail=7845&page=62 When I get home I will compare the plastic to the Revell kit Walter

Very nicely done G-24 JW! I had no idea Reifra did the G-24 and the G-23. I have a 1/72 KVZ Junkers G-23 / G-24 - Swiss or Swedish Airlines in the stash somewhere. Is that the same as the VEB kit? Love those F.13's as well. Walter

Outstanding customer service, great product! You can not go wrong with Vintage Decals. Walter

1/48 Scale will be super nice!
