Authentic Ansett 727-200

[skystreak80]

Oh yes, top marks for that man,

and I also have about 10 of Kurt's kits, so keeping Germany's balance of trade going

Oh wow ! I hope you can do some build threads in the future.
What kits are they I have three of Kurt's kits and counting also getting the Honda ultrasonic cutter (no dust when cutting resin)

Cheers

Lee.

Yes, I always plan to build them, have started a couple of them, one was the 727-100, which when I had the fuselage together, managed to drop vertically on the floor and it broke the joins, but not the kit, not got back to it since. Kurt was mortified when I told him.
I visited Telford a lot, Staff Travel helped a lot there, last time in 2011, and used to buy direct from Kurt and Gunter (his brother, and I think that's the spelling) all the time, I would email him before hand, usually only bought one kit a year.
I didn't really upset the Australian balance of trade with my purchases, as most were purchased with pommie money, given to me by my good wife from her UK superannuation stash, and no it's not a very big stash at all, sod all in fact, but they did keep putting a little in every month, so amounted to my Telford money each year, that is until she started getting it paid direct to Oz.
I have upset the Australian balance of trade very slightly by buying some 737 Engines from him when the dollar was at record highs.

I have from memory
2 x Bac 1-11-200s bought on a 2 for the price of one special
707
720
727-100
727-200
757-200
A310
F28-4000
L188 electra
Viscount 700
Viscount 800 Mostly finished, and using as a prototype to correct the S&M kit

I think that is all
They will be available for purchase from my estate, but not before

I don't really get any modelling time at the moment, so everything is on hold for a while, although I hope to be able to do some tinkering throughout this year.

And please tell me more about this Honda Ultrasonic cutter
where do ya get it

Hi Graeme nice collection
Yes the cutter uses silent ultrasonic vibrations sent to the blade making cutting through thick resin and plastic very easy there used to be a good japanese modelling channel on youtube i used to watch where they used this cutter all the time for resin parts but fuji tv removed this channel from youtube as it was "pay tv content"
The only downside to this cutter is the price but i build a lot of resin kits so it's probably worth it in the long run.

I am still waiting for it to arrive but i will report back when i use it

Cheers

I got tempted, went to Authentic website and fortunately.. the B727s are unavailable (1/72)

I would like an Ansett first scheme -100 on my shelf.

The BAC111 is in stock but hold no interestfor me.... I would be thrilled if they brought out a 1/72 F-28 Fellowsip

Yeah it's tempting the 1/72 727 100 & 200 is showing in stock for me now http://www.authentic-airliners.de/epages/64205758.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/64205758/Categories/MODELLE/%221/72%20KITS%22/B%2A%2A%2A%2AG
Kurt has a beautiful 1/144 F-28 1000

[VH-WAL]

not interested in 1/144, F28 just too small in this scale

thanks

We do need a 1/72 version. Hurry up mr Kurt

B727-100 $495 AUD delivered I can't justify that...I am taking a swerve on it

I'm not sure what going on, Kurt moved the 1/72nd stuff off to a separate website

http://www.72airliners.de/

So, are those details something left over from when the 1/72nd stuff used to be on the AA site?, or is he putting up stuff on both? Price is the same, but the AA site does refers you to the 72airliners site
The AA site shows stock, and 72airlines doesn't, like Wal, there is no way I can justify any of those these days, with my truly glacial build rate, and low income status.

Looks a lovely kit, Lee! Looking forward to watching your progress. You don't mention its scale anywhere, but I'm assuming it's 1/144?
