Flightdecs is no longer around. Haven’t been active for years. The website was just never taken down.

Hello everyone, I was wondering if any of you have ordered directly from Modelsvit through their website and if so how was your experience? The reason I’m asking is that I have a few models of theirs that I’m wanting to purchase that total around $600-700 Canadian if I were to order directly from them. I also checked Hannants but they don’t have some of them in stock. Also compared pricing through eBay but it came out to around $900. I am really hoping to be able to save that couple hundred dollars if possible because for me this is a lot of money that I’ve been saving up for and I was re

Scooby is correct. The owner of Flightdecs did have some major health issues that forced the business to cease operations.

Absolutely. Thank you for all your time and effort Steve

Great to know. One can never have too many F-16’s thanks Dutch.

I think this is a long shot. I've had this Esci F-16B kit for many years and just discovered today its missing the clear sprue with the canopy. If anyone has a spare Esci canopy or even a Hasegawa canopy that should also be able to work. Comparing my built Hasegawa F-16B to the Esci frame they look like they're almost identical in size. Thanks in advance everyone. Mark

Unfortunately Flightdecs is no longer around.

It’s too bad about CanMilAir as he had some very unique Canadian content.

If you can’t get them from Leading Edge (sometimes takes awhile to get response) there’s also Two Bobs that has them in 1/48. I’ve bought several different Two Bobs sheets and they’re excellent quality as well. According to Leading Edge’s website Dave doesn’t even have 1/48 listed at all. https://www.twobobs.net/contents/en-us/p721_48-264-CF-188-60-Years-of-NORAD-Hornet.html

Thanks for the reply.

KursadA - Is a 1/72 sheet still in the works for this? Since you mentioned a couple years ago that it would be my Hasegawa kit has been patiently waiting for it. 😉 thanks.

Any update on this sheet? This thread has gone quiet for quite a while now. Hopefully this one is still in the works especially for 1/72 😉

He mentioned he wants it build it as a current CF-18.

I waited three months for his B-52 engines. After a couple months I emailed him about the status of my order and the next day he emailed back saying the casts had worn out and had to make new ones. A month later they arrived.

I almost entirely use Model Master enamels and was looking at going to use True North paints. Unfortunately I live in Canada and no one up here seems to carry them. Also after sending two emails to True North about if it’s even possible to order directly from them and get them shipped to Canada I’ve have never gotten a response back. I also don’t think it’s even possible to get them shipped to Canada because Sprue Brothers can’t shipped Model Master enamels up here so I can’t see True North paints being allowed either.
