Hi all
A big favour to ask, if in your travels you see one of these (yes I know as rare as hens teeth) could I ask you tp buy it and let me know and I will reimburse you costs. Found this on eBay but need 8 more :((

That's a re-popped Tamiya kit, so it might be worthwhile looking for the originals as well.

True, been searching for a year ever since I picked up Queen Elizabeth

I got that for under £10 so will upper price around £12 max although I guess USA one will come in higher

I know this is a bit pricey, but it is an option for you.

I suppose you could mold some copies from it if you needed more than one.
-
Yep that was an option till I saw the price, also very little detail to it, compared to a £10 kit

Or cast assembled parts of the first kit, say the fusalage, wings and tail, all cast to suit the number needed, using something cast in the middle - say out of wax, which when heated releases a space in the middle to lighten the weight.
