Re: Vacuformed models question

Thanks SmartD and Cruver for your comments. It's obvious that I will not have the necessary skills to tackle this type of modeling. So is it a niche market for this type of kit? Are the results worth the extra trouble or is it the challenge that makes someone want to try one of these? Just curious now.

As for the resin kits, it appears that Trumpeter, Frog and Eastern Express are the three companies that have kits of those particular planes. I had never heard of any of them until I started looking for those models.

Vacuform and resin kits are nice in that they cover some of the aircraft that would normally be passed up on. Over the past few years resin kits have come a long way, and there some really nice kits out there. Trumpeter kits are pretty neat and Frog kits have been around for along time. I think at one time I built a Frog Fairely Gannet kit.
