k5ikl Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Is he still in business? Know he sells mostly on Ebay but haven't seen any products on his site in quite awhile. Sent a message to him but never got an answer. Cheers, Jerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Smith Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I was checking out his auctions a few months back and didn’t see anything listed either. I really like his Phantom intakes. They fit better than any others I have tried so far. Glad I stocked up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ziggyfoos Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I asked him around a week or two, he said he's in middle of relocating and may be couple months before he starts casting again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good to hear. I'll just keep checking his Ebay store periodically. Jerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That’s good to know. I have him as a saved search on eBay and had not received any notices for quite some time. I was wondering if he was still in business. Hopefully he’ll be back casting soon. I need some intakes for a Hornet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I'm selling a set of his intakes with a larger bundle....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
picknpluck Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I just picked up two sets of his Phantom intakes. I found a set of his S-3 intakes recently as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I can't remember but who was it that was being accused of make copies of someone else's intakes? I want to say it was about 5 or 6 years ago there was a lot of heat over some eBay sellers. It wasn't Rhino was it? DM maybe? Dunno why I just thought about this.

Scott Smith Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 It was Rhino. I bought a set to compare to others. Sure, they all look alike because they have to fit the model they were designed for. Rhino's look a lot like Dmold's. But they fit better. With Dmold I had to put some slight tweaks into the bottom wing half of my Tamiya Phantoms. Rhino was a perfect fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I heard it is a seller in Germany that is selling questionable Cutting Edge stuff. He does seem to have a never ending supply of certain Cutting Edge products. Every month or so he posts a number of sales for the same Cutting Edge sets. Don't know if there is any truth to the rumors, just passing on what I heard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I knew it was something. Just been a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Smith Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I don't think it was Dmold or any other business accusing him, I think it was modelers that were branding his products as counterfeits. I've lost a lot of brain cells since..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you think you might need it, buy it now, stack it deep. Small cottage industry businesses like these seem to disappear without notice. Decals, brass landing gear, resin, etc.... One small business that provides a great product hangs on the balance of the owners health, a natural disaster like a fire, etc... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scott, if this is one Waldemar Sawerwien, I know the fella. He's legit. But yes, incredible lots of Cutting Edge sets in 1/48 for the whole range of Testors/Italeri U-2 kits and the Hasegawa F-8 as well that he's had. Lots, month after month. I don't quite fathom where/how he got them. Only issue I had with him is a cockpit set for the U-2C coming short of a block containing the left/right rudder pedal and another redundant piece.

It was dmold, iirc Rhino's Hornet intakes were accused of being copies and his evidence was showing photos of some alleged scratches and mold defects on the same places. And then some years later the same drama-llama started again when xmold came out with their intakes, many completely different products or subjects. Dmold accused them of copying the F-4 phantom intakes. For anyone who has both, they're quite different. In xmold defense the full story came down to them being former roommates and dimitry teaching alexander how to make them before both started their own businesses separately.
