Ercoupe808 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) Hello, new member here! I grew up on Airfix and Matchbox kits in the 70's/80's in England. Now live in California. Still occasionally making the odd Airfix kit, and I now produce my own models (my 3D models from blueprints, resin printed) of ERCO Ercoupes, 1/48 and 1/72 scale. Got my son into modeling as well, although he's gone off down the 'Warhammer' route. I also own and fly a full-scale Ercoupe. Looking forwards to joining in the fun here.

Interesting how much do these cost you to make ? By chance what would you ask for a print in either scale ?

Dennis Hey Dennis. Not 100% sure if I'm allowed to mention it here, but my website (https://www.ercoupetv.com/store/index.php?page=ercoupe-models) has them for sale. They don't use much resin to print, now I have the model correct, but you should see the big box of 'development mules' I have! It's been quite the learning process to get it right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head in the clouds. Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Seeing as you lost my last photo it just means I have to punish you all over again. This is me on the right a few years ago on a holiday in Cornwall, the lads on my right claim to be my sons.....likely story! The baseball cap and shades disguise obviously isn't working🥸. My daughter is out of shot sulking as she was all holiday...😆. We had a flight in this lovely Dragon Rapide, oddly, I seem to have a strange woman following me now! Need to upgrade the disguise..🤣 The visit was to the now defunct but superb CHAC at the old RAF St Mawgan. On the plus side we did have Tom Cruise as pilot..... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I was about 6, so that would make it about 1958, my father knew a pilot of one of these. I think we flew from, what was then Baginton Aerodrome, now Coventry Airport.
