500 copies of the kit, not 500 parts to the kit! It does look a bit like a flying anus...

Funny, I've got some D-ANAL registrations from a Ju-52 Lufthansa livery supposedly.

Although I suspect Roden is just messing with us.

I picked one of those up at one of my local shops just before Christmas. It looks quite nice, though the front end is a four part clear shell around the cockpit and looks like it will require some forethought and jigging to bring together well.

I've got a couple of mild "What if" ideas brewing for it. The Optica isa crazy enough looking concept that it doesn't need anything over the top as far as whiffery goes to make something eye catching out of it.

Has lots of crazy potential - join two kits together ?  Tho 1/32nd would be a better scale for these - I've seen the Edgely Optica in 72nd built & its toooo small.

I'd buy it in any scale other than 1/48.

Wow, the thing actually flew once.

Is there any chance a forumite has contact info for AviS, perhaps from a kit box or instruction sheet, that they could PM to me?

Their Scalemates entry doesn't list any contact info.

They're a Ukrainian company, but the box for the 1/72 Nemeth Parasol lists IBG of Poland as their importer (I bought the kit from Ukraine!) I know Miniart has moved many of their operations to Poland, so this may be a way Ukrainian model companies are protecting their business from the war.

Their email is : ibgsc@ibg.com.pl

Thanks Frank, Scalemates was my first (disappointing) stop. I appreciate the help!
