Hi Guys

Hope this is the right section but probably not

I like the rarer aircraft aswell as the mainstrem stuff but I seem to have trouble finding kits of them. Things like the Saunders Roe projects etc.

Does anyone know where I can find 1/48 kits like this. I understand that I'm probably not a good enough modeller yet to do them justice but it would be nice to try them.

Probably the smaller resin manufacturers and the like but my knowledge of these companies is sadly woefully small.

Thanks for all your help.

Hi,
I saw your post on rare aircraft in1/48th scale & I remembered seeing some 'oddball' aircraft by Planet Models on the CMK website.
If you do a google seach for Czech Master Kits will bring it up! (I don't know how to link web site's yet!)
Hope it's what you are after.
regards
Mark

Hello yes ...

Well, theres rare planes and theres rare kits, Grumpyoldman once was so kind to take me to this shop: http://www.rhobby.com/rh_home.cfm where they have a huge selection of old (upto 50 yrs old) and rare kits allso a lot of rare subjects - mostly flythingies.

From the owner I got the impression that they dont mind shipping.

Cheers

Jan

Wow thanks guys.

Yeah both of those have something that I would really like.

I think I'll just get some for the stock pile.
Cheers again
