Every model maintains the original’s flair. Every panel joint and
detail is transferred to the model from the mold. The whole model is
built up in multilayered glass/carbon fiber reinforced plastic, cured in
vacuum. Reinforcements are incorporated where necessary.
The kits consist of 20-30 all composite glass/carbon fiber parts, and a
clear plastic canopy.
For the flight control surfaces, hinge points and control horns,
CNC-routed from fiberglass panels, are included.
All parts with large surface areas, such as fuselage, wings, tail
feathers, are manufactured in sandwich technique, using Herex foam as
sandwich material, thus achieving low weight and high strength. All
bulkheads, spars, wing joiner components, etc., are already installed.
Flight control surfaces also are molded from composite fiberglass.
Due to the fact that all major components are ready to install, all the
principal parameters, such as dihedral, longitudinal dihedral, engine
down- or side thrust are already incorporated, and need no further
adjustment.
Due to the high degree of pre-fabrication, the models can be assembled
in a relatively short time.
The building instructions come in the form of a CD-ROM, and contain
numerous photos of the different building stages. These of course can be
printed out.

The Tigercat and the Lavochkin La-7 are in production and are available. The P-38 probably will go into production in 2010. The design and manufacture of the other models will depend on the demand.
We would be happy to hear your suggestions, concerns, or questions in
the section “your opinion”, and we will try to address them in future
production runs.
All the required accessories, from the scale retractable landing gear to
the cockpit details, are listed on the corresponding model’s page.
All models break down in to several pieces, which can be transported in
a medium sized wagon or van. The Tigercat, for example, features a
2-piece fuselage, center wing panel. 2 engine pylons, 2 outer wing
panels, and the 2 horizontal stabilizer halves.
The prices of the available models, as well as the prices of available
