*** Glad to oblige Chris,when vac-forms first came out people flocked to purchase them,many were just trashed in flustration which is such a pity as there are some superb rare subjects that have been covered,in fact the Airmodel range from which my tutorial model was built were probably the most basic of any of the range,the best in my humble opinion were the ones produced by a company called 'Rareplanes' which had surface detail equal to those of injection moulded kits.
Vac forms have had a bit of a revival with the appearance of the Dynavector multi media kit range of subjects in recent years,this is probably the best approach,ie basic vac forms for the fuselage,wings etc with white metal fittings for wheels/undercarriages etc coupled with even resin mouldings,what a feast for the modeller to get his hands on ! the whole package spells 'Challenge'
