Howdy Graziano,

Ok, this may be abit tricky since you are in Italy and i am in the United states. But, I did some research on maintrack models and found some information that you might be able to use.
The information i found is the company address, and telephone number. Even as i write this post, i am searching for an email address that you might could use to ask the manufacturer if they could help you with the YA-7F conversion kit.
Here is the information I have found so far:

Maintrack Models 79 Queens Road
Hastings
East Sussex
TN34 1RL
Tel: 01424437428

Now i am sure you probably already have found this information on the web since i located several posts on several different links by you, looking for this conversion kit.
However, maybe someone in the UK (from this forum) would be kind enough to possibly call the number above and see if the company is still around and maybe ask if they still have the conversion set for the A7. Or maybe someone from the forum lives close to the address and might drop by and look to see if the company is still around.
Sorry I couldnt find an email address for you.

Have a good day,

Greg

Dear Graziano, Maintrack ceased trading a number of years ago. I had their Blackburn Bucaneer S1 conversion and it was great. Also had their F100F and TF104G, acceptable but not so good. I believe that Heritage Aviation may have ended up with the moulds and masters from Maintrack, as I believe that the Bucaneer S1 conversion, they market might be the same one.They might be worth contacting.
FYI in case you hadn't seen it:Aircraft: Vought YA-7F Corsair II
Best wishes
Matt

Hello from Italy.
The old Maintrack range of conversions is now in the hands of Mr. R.G. EVANS. He is the owner of the firm WHIRLYKITS.
I have exchanged emails with him and, yes, he have in house the masters that can be used to restart the production of the YA-7F's conversion but the YA-7F is NOT in the his plans

, so I will go on looking for someone that have in house the conversion and could to sell me.
