Topgun models

Topgun Models are a Polish kit maker with some very interesting kits available and coming.



You can see some of their work here and here.

I also have a copy of their complete price catalogue as of the 31st Jul 2014 - there are some very interesting items there!  If anyone wants a copy please let me know and I will email it to you since it is too large to attach here.
All hail the God of Frustration!!!

Are they all 1/48?  I found it hard to figure what was going on, on their facebook page and the other one was just pictures of their models.   Any in the one, true scale?  ;)

Most are 1/72 with some in 1/48 and at least one or two in 1/32.  Let me know if you want the full list

Why not on the forum?  I'm sure I'm not the only person who'd be interested.

It's a pdf file that's too big to attach here (I know because I asked for, and Greg sent me, a copy by email).  Some very interesting items there indeed.

That's only a part of the list.  I received my list directly from Tomasz Bilkiewicz.

... thus the use of 'a few'.  ;D  :icon_fsm:

I should note that I've ordered from Dave Cooper before and found his service excellent.  Unfortunately, he doesn't carry the Top Gun kits I want.

I admit that their 1/48 S-70i conversion definitely interests me.  I was involved in some drawing/design changes for that one while contracting at Sikorsky in Connecticut.

Yeah, Dave is the epitome of small business and has to order what he thinks he can shift.
Gotta admit I'm tempted by the Profil 24 1/24 Golden Arrow he's carrying, pricey but cheaper
than ordering from Europe.

Yes, I've dealt with him before too, bought a couple of his 1/72 Canadair Argus u/c & prop sets which are very nicely done.
