petetasker Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Stumbled across a mention of this kit online but I've not managed to find out anything about it - is it a brand new kit? Be interested in anyones thoughts if they've seen or have one. Threw up in the back of a Chippy when I was an Air Cadet (caught it all in the bag) so can see myself making one or two at least.

mick b Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I think you’ll find coastal kits and coastal craft models are totally separate companies... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petetasker Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 Hello mate Yes got the Chipmunk no problem - I was actually thinking of getting a second. Weird set up as they don't seem to have a website which is strange in this day and age. They do have email however which is [email protected] They're still advertising in Scale Aircraft Modelling so Im confident they are still in business. Have to say I was very happy with their service. If you need their address and telephone number let me know but they replied ok to my emails. Hope this helps Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give them a ring. Pretty poor really. Seem to recall they replied to my emails and the ordering instructions were basically who to make the Paypal payment to. Doesn't inspire confidence but I got the kit and they are still advertising every month in SAM including in the latest issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsprop Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Could do with at least a presence on social media (or forums). It's a bit frustrating 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsprop Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 @petetasker @Shark444 have either of you managed to get hold of Coastal Craft Models? I sent an email a couple of months back and got a response from Martin with the catalogue attached. I replied asking to purchase a Chipmunk and Type 224, but I haven't yet heard back. I sent a couple more emails and left a voicemail - not heard anything yet EDIT: I just got an email back telling me how to order. Order placed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
