That sound you just heard was the price value of my 1/48 Collect-Aire kit hitting the floor.  Ah we'll, didn't intend to sell it anyway...

Anyone have any reviews or rep-data on this company? One of their bigshots is on the F-106 forum, asking for advice on tooling, and I'd like to do a rep-check before I get too involved with them.

Not even a CAD drawing or painting yet.   Just an announcement on their FB page and a photo of a real SuE.

That's a cool box.

Am I bad for thinking it'd look better as a painting or CG?

Nope, and with a name like Avante Garde combined Russian Art History I would have hoped for something more dramatic,
perhaps even Constructivist (ala Tatlin, Lissitzky[extremely influential in typography/book design], Rodchenko) or Suprematist (ala Malevich, my personal fave).
 ;)

Tatlin actually designed a flying machine.  :)


A famous poster by Rodchenko:


Malevich, Suprematist Composition: Airplane Flying, 1915

a few months ago I was googling & came across a photo of a Mig-31 stripped down for major work - showed the entire airframe sans externals - can't find it now but it would make a great dio for this kit.

I'd say that's a severe understatement.  Absolutely gorgeous work, my wallet will scream.
