Hi to all, I am Andrea - an Italian RC modeler
Excuse my choice of English language, but unfortunately I don't know German language. I am interested in old RC-1 planes, particularly from Germany and Austria. I am searching of kits and spare parts, I don't like much ARF's.
I contacted bitmodell.de (Curare, Leopard) and Steinhardt-Modellbau (Sultan V) but unfortunately both have ended their production.
I found PAF (Sultan V) and Topp-Rippin (Olympia-Flipper). I found also Sunshine-Modellbau, but his Curare and Blue Angel seem to me not so close to original drawings. Am I wrong?
Last, I found Shadow from Beineke Modellbau. I don't know if it was a RC-1 used in old German or International competitions, or if it's only a sport plane that "look as" an RC-1.
I searched on Internet and old magazines, but I didn't found anything. The price is quite low, so I think it's a short-kit (not all parts).
Unfortuntaley, Beineke hasn't an email address, only phone contact. This is a problem for me, because I am able to write in English but my speaking is quite bad. Someone knows another way to contact him?
I accept every suggestion about other kits and other factories. I found on an old magazine the 1975 World Champion final ranking with other plane names such as Mephisto, Skorpion, Saturn but I don't know if they are available in kit.
Thanks in advance for all your suggestions
Greetings from Rome
Andrea
