Kingswear1 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Hi All, posted elsewhere in error!!! Does anyone know, please, if the Alley Cats Canberra TT.18 conversion kit is still available? Upon searching, it shows it is, but it cannot be put in the cart, and is not listed on their website. I tried to email, but the submit button disappears! Many thanks Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick b Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Don’t hold your breath Mark, emailed him months back and still no response. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stever219 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I believe that the owner of Alley Cat has been unwell for some time and has been unable to operate the business in the way that he would want to. I also believe that he’s sufficiently on the mend to begin getting things back together so, please, cut him a bit of slack as he must have hundreds of e-mails and other communications to plough through. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you may be confusing Alistair from Aerocraft who used to be alley cat and has been ill with COVID, with the current owner but maybe you know otherwise.

Mike Thanks Mike, I’m sorry to hear of Alistair’s encounter with Covid and hope very much that he too is on the mend, but I can assure you that I’m not confusing him with Alec, presently of Alley Cat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I bought a Tucano kit from Alec a month or so back and had problems with the site too , he has been dealing with family health issues for quite some time but I used [email protected] to get in touch and he does reply and is very helpful when he gets the chance to deal with email. Like many in the hobby he is a one-man band juggling a lot of balls in the air like the rest of us under the present circumstances we are all in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingswear1 Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 Many thanks for your helpful posts, I have emailed using the address you suggest and will patiently await a reply, many, many other projects to consider meanwhile, the TT.18 will be a reminder of times spent parked at the end of Yeovilton's runway many years ago! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Mark! I was wondering if you've got any reply to your inquiry? I'm in the same boat...also trying to get the set. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure that I read something , somewhere on Britmodeller since I bought from Alec in April last year that he no longer does direct sales but deals through one of the specialist traders but after a quick search cannot find anything so perhaps someone with a better memory or greater skills in the mysteries of Britmodeller searches might be able to clarify. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petetasker Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 As I understand it Alec has dropped the direct retail side of the business and all retail sales are being done through modelsforsale.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, ModelsForSale has a good amount of Alley Cat sets, but unfortunately the TT.18 conversion is gone... Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
