Our plan is to release the kit for Mosonshow in April 2023 Regarding the price, we will offer the kit for 70 EUR, with free shipping everywhere in the planet for those who sign up in advance. As the schedule is quite tight, we will close the sign up in 10 days and free shipping is not included in the price anymore. We are not asking payment in advance, but will send a notification when the kit is ready to ship. We kindly ask you to sign up only, if you really buy the kit when released.

Caerbannog Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Great news! A definite must buy for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SprueMan Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I just hope they mold it properly. Their 1/72 offering had one piece floats, so it was not possible to put weights inside, hence it was doomed as tailsitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SprueMan Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 The pre-order with free shipping, yes. But once released, it will be available on their website and other places as normal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I preordered the kit with a comment about it, but alas. looks like there is a perfect spot to drill some holes to add weight right where the pouring stub sits. You're going to be sanding that area anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that the struts are brass - bearing in mind the experience of my Crusader build! It looks like a great model. I hope they do more Schneider planes.

(and probably fail) I do not like beaching trollys that much.. tehy destroy the lines of the plane when it is in the display cupboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I preordered the kit with a comment about it, but alas. Indeed it is! 1 hour ago, J.C. Bahr said: I'm confused, how do you consider it a "tail sitter?" To me it looks like it sits the way any twin-float would without a beaching trolley. It should be sitting on the forward part of the floats. When the aircraft is floating at equilibrium, the lontitudinal center of gravity (LCG) is aligned with the logitudinal center of bouyancy (LCB). The floats' LCB, which is strictly defined by the float's shape, is forward of step. This photo very nicely shows the LCG w.r.t. the step. The center wheel of the trolley is aligned with the float step and the trolly is tilted forward. As demonstrated by the model's attitude, its LCG is clearly aft of the step. If the aircraft were afloat with that LCG, it would trim aft (by the stern), possible severely. As usual, weight could be added to the fuselage nose to balance the model. FWIW, the Hawk 1/48 Curtiss R3C-2 has a similar LCG issue, which I only discovered after I attached the float to the airframe. Fortunately, I was able to drill a hole in the noses of the floats so I could stuff enough solder to enable it to sit properly.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
