Best job I've ever seen on a vac-u-form kit...ever...

A buddy of mine builds vac-u-form kits of airliners - I'll forward him your link. It should depress the hell out of him, lol (or possibly inspire him).

Rest of the pictures of the process to get to the end are good, too!

Hit IPMS Nationals over the weekend. Of probably somewhere north of three or four hundred aircraft models entered, there was exactly one vacu-formed kit represented. You should get your stuff in the loop...you could make hay.

Did see a pile of old vacu-form kits in the vendor area, five bucks a piece. No takers. We've become such wusses...

Yes they have a bad reputation among modelers.More work for sure but they can produce nice models!

Heck no...my modelling skills are far too deficient to try and take on something like this. I wouldn't trust myself to even cut it out. If you have any interest in it flip me a PM and I'll give you the details...
