Space Ranger Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Received mine two days ago. Another nice kit from VFR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avro730 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Looks a nice kit and I was on the VFR website only a short while ago thinking about the AA5 Tiger but can anyone enlighten me as to why its so much more expensive than the other kits (£36) compared to the Aerostar at £27?

Hi there, Harry from VFR here. I did the Grumman as a sub contracted cast resin kit. It was a lovely result, especially with cast clear parts, but I agree its a bit pricy for what it is. But the difference is reflected in cost of sale unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avro730 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Harry - Thats understood, its a very niche market general Aviation, I was just hoping that it was a glitch and should be lower, but keep up the good work, suggestion - Beagle Pup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 How about some Auster variants? I might have to try one if these VFR kits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Harry, I suspect there would be a lot of love for a straight-wing PA28-140. I've got about 150 hours on various examples, and I'm sure I'm not the only one ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stumpy straight wings always looked odd out the window! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
