This looks interesting what material will these kits be in , your prototype photos appear to printed card models ?

Hi Kiwi

Our biplane models use plastic card to achieve necessary profile and dihedral. Coming from a plastic/vac/resin background of thirty plus years I was not happy with the quality and accuracy of so many of the plastic products available. Also I wanted to show the context of the aircraft..buildings, people and vehicles as well as backgrounds. These designs are EXTREMELY DETAILED (down to wood texture and effects impossible to achieve with paint) and vector based which means that they can be upscaled, without any line degradation and can readily modified to achieve different liveries. They are light years away from the kind of models that appeared on the rear of cereal packets. There was a quite deliberate design philosophy established in the creation of these aircraft. I would anticipate around 200 models available by December 2009. We also have about 100 aviation themed postcards in the market, (but our efforts have been hampered by my cancer) :-( Here are some more proto-pics.

I like the look of those classic models. I like the Solent poster too.

Hi

Send me some drawings of the Fletcher and we'll make it!!...actually we have quite a few agricultural planes on the Macs, but only so many hours in the day...plus I've been dealing with serious cancer (chemo, radio, and very invasive surgery) for the last 18 months...I'll post a list of kiwi planes very shortly...
