[WWI] 1/72 WWI Vacuform kit inquiry

[Buz Pezold]

Robert,

     I enjoy building 1/72 scale vacuforms.  In someways I prefer a vacuform kit over the conventional injected molded kit.  Keep in mind vacuform kits are not for the faint of heart.  Building a vacuform kit can and is just short of scratch building.  As for kit availability Ebay is your best bet to find them.    SIERRA vacuform kits are probably the most consistant when it comes to molding; however, SIERRA is no longer in business.  All is not lost.  You can obtain SIERRA, FORMAPLANE, JOYSTICK, WARBIRDS(Rareplanes), WINGS 72, SCALEPLANES/LIBRAMODELS and ROSEPLANE through Ebay.  Some vacuform kits can obtained from AEROCLUB, ROLL MODELS and other mail order modeling shops.  One word about FORMAPLANE.  Not all of their kits are bad.  The earlier moldings of FORMAPLANE are great and they were cast by Les Cooper and the late great Joe Chubock.  In fact Joe Chubock did vacuform molds for various model lables such as FORMAPLANE, JOYSTICK, SCALEPLANES/LIBRAMODELS and ROSEPLANE.  If you have any specific questions about vacuform kits give me a shout.  Also you can look at my gallery on the website.  I have a few vacuform kits on there.
