Think things changed so full production never happened.

Hi - a long time ago Arrow5 asked if any of the kits sold to the UK were on show.  Judging from the reponse I guess the answer was no. Well, I need to practice sending pictures to this forum so here are pictures of mine which is still a work in progress  - might even finish it one day.

The quality of the kit was first class. It's a pity their manufacture came to an end.

As you can see, mine is the basic model - same as the one built by Aurigarius himself.

Nice to see another Kit-Springer again :)

I get asked quite regularly, where to purchase one of these Aurigarius Springer-Kits.
They are no longer available and most probably will not get into production any more.
The reasons for this are mentioned in this thread.

So it's probably a good idea to turn this thread into a normal one and no longer have it pinned in this forum. (Admins are you reading this?) ;-)

But there is hope for everyone, not willing to scratch-build one.
German manufacturer Aeronaut just announced a Springer-Kit on this years toy-fair in Nuremberg.

http://www.aero-naut.de/produkte/schiffsmodellbau/schiffsmodelle/kommerzielle-schifffahrt/ramborator.html

I don't know anything about prices and availability and the page is all in German, but I can tell you it is according to the international rules. It will be available in the shop and online shop I work for now as soon as it is available from Aeronaut.

I am at the Aeronaut-booth in Nuremberg on sunday and hope to get more details then.

Hello Aurigarius,
 
fantastic, what a brilliant idea for both beginners and experienced model boat operators and builders.
At last an entry or quick build kit aimed directly at all levels of model boaters.
I wish you great success in your future production venture.
Could you please let me know the cost of one of your kits.
regards
Jim

If you cut & paste this;
Ramborator Springer Tug Aeronaut Aero-Naut NEU&OVP 

eBay item number:
401031734523

into google search you will get a German company selling them on the German e-bay. at about £55 for the kit & £11 for the shipping, much much cheaper than the £100 plus that I've seen them for sale in the UK I bought 2 (1 for a friend) to split the shipping costs.[/size]  :-))
