Thanks for the nice browse, Diego. I gotta wonder though, WHAT ON EARTH are the gear doors doing under the belly of that Goose?! Looks like he's got twin keels...

Hi Lars, Well received. I will try to contact my friend during the weekend and will dend you the Fleetster plans as soon as possible. Alain...
Hi Lars, Last week I mentioned that Dekno used to produce a 1/72 scale resin Fleetster 17 model. Turns out that I was mistaken, it's the Fleetster 20A they...
You have to be pretty desperate to buy a Dekno kit. When I was in England I had a chance to look at a lot of them and found them to be without a doubt the...

Hi All, So it's a $55.00 collector's item AND "crap"? We definitely need a new Fleetster 20, then, & a 17. The list is growing, & I regard this a good thing #...

Hi All, Another tiny masterpiece which has languished in the attic too long: the ZTS/Mikro72 rendition of the RWD-6; sort of a mini-Bellanca from 1932. In 1/72...
I have built RWD-5bis few years ago (it is the lightest plane which crossed the atlantic between the wars...). The model was not very easy to build - I have...
hi Vaso and all, Lovely RWD-5!! A great job, as usual. I just purchased the RWD-6 you speak of, it is tiny but I am anxious to build it. After my days with...
