otis252 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Any chance of a redo of the A-7 Set? I screwed up and didn't get one when they came out, won't do that again. Chuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zactoman Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 For now, due to the problems I've had getting good vacform parts, I'm calling it discontinued. I'll be updating the website soon to reflect this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zactoman Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I bummed about it too. The A-7 correction was my most popular product. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Yup good thing I got it when I did and I don't even have the Trumpeter kit as yet. AM stuff is always good to get early as it does go OOP. The kits will be around for years I figure and I have been right in most cases. Now the bigger wish is that Zactoman produces this conversion in 1/48th to correct the crappy HB kits. I almost bought an HB kit until I saw that the HB kit was a scaled down Trumpeter kit with the SAME problems. Damn it. No early A-7 for me. Oh well I live in hope.

The kits will be around for years I figure and I have been right in most cases. That's a good idea. "Get while the gettin's good." Buy the AM product while it's being produced. If later you decide not to use it, you can sell it for what you paid for it and make another modeler a happy camper. A win-win for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or in some cases you can sell them for much more than they originally cost. Think Cutting Edge which can go on Ebay for 5-10 times what they originally sold for.

Your stuff is superb while personally I think the CE sets are dependent on who created the masters. If I could I would frame your stuff, put it on my wall and call it masterpiece art which I think it is :). And I will say it again maybe selective sets in 1/48 would not be a bad thing (A-7 and F-14 Trumpeter sets). Well maybe bad for you as you will have even more work. Just sayin'.

Ed Rivera Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hello to all! My name is Eduardo Rivera, I am a new member to these forums. I am currently working on a 1/32 scale A-7D from trumpeter with many resin and PE parts for this build. The problem with this build is that I need a zacto A-7 correction set to finish my project. I just wanted to know if there is anyone in these forums that would like to sell me a set. My email : peterandmacho@yahoo.com I would appreciate any help! Best Regards Ed Rivera Quote Link to post Share on other sites
otis252 Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Well, how about just doing a set with the intake and nose corrections? Chuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantomfan Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I will be more than happy to have the complete set without a vacuform canopy. Chris, what do you think to sell the correction set with the resin canopy master instead of vacuform part. So it's up to us to make copies, it makes "mistakes possible" too, if we cut the vacuform in the wrong way we could try to mold a second, and so on... I buy one in that version... Bye.

converse Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hi Z-man, I'll second or third that motion. Would you please? Arthur I would dearly love a set too. Anything that could help the A-7 at least look the part would be a real help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalashnikov-47 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Yeah, I'll pile on here too. I'd be happy with a partial kit minus the vac parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fasteagle12 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Count me in on the set minus the vac clear parts..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Leduc Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Hi Chris, Same here, for two set of intake, that would be a major plus than what we're stuck with.... Dan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zactoman Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Well, how about just doing a set with the intake and nose corrections? Chuck I was selling the intake and intake lip, but they didn't sell well without the other parts. I might re-release this if demand seems high enough. My nosecone won't fit the kit canopy. As for selling the whole set without the clear parts, that wouldn't be possible either as the frame details won't fit the kit canopy either. Chris, what do you think to sell the correction set with the resin canopy master instead of vacuform part. So it's up to us to make copies, it makes "mistakes possible" too, if we cut the vacuform in the wrong way we could try to mold a second, and so on... Sorry, but I don't want copies of my master vacform pattern floating around out there. While I have discontinued the set, there is still the possibility of re-releasing it someday if I can solve the vacuumforming problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm know I'm speaking for a bunch of modelers that really, really hope you can get the problem solved and get your great set re-released. I guess my kit stays in my stash, unbuilt, until that happens. Keep trying.....please... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IrishGreek Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) Couple points. I too would love some of your stuff in 1/48... Also, would really like the A-7 kit and felt the same about the Tomcat and Flanker stuff. Just ordered the Tomcat set and the Flanker combo was unavailable. Will look for it... BTW, I do NOT have the Trumpy F-14 yet. Thanks for the great stuff Chris. Edited April 18, 2014 by IrishGreek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Rivera Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Chris, It would be greatly appreciated if you did re-released the 1/32 A-7 correction set. Regards Ed Rivera Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalashnikov-47 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Just a suggestion Chris - I recent bought a conversion from Werner's Wings for an Avia S-199 that includes some beautiful vac canopies. I believe Floyd Werner farmed that work out. Perhaps contacting Floyd to see where he had that done? Just an idea... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
otis252 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Any thoughts on releasing the resin portion of the A-7 set again? Chuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
