waltmert Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Fellow modelers, I know is bad timing but I was on a quest to find me a set of XC-47 Floats. I looked everywhere, no joy! A fellow modeler gave me and old e-mail address to the family that now makes Execuform kits. Well, guess what? I got me a pair of DC-3 Floats. I am in no way associated with the Herril family but I wanted to share the news with you all. I got permission from them to show you all their contact info and the list and price of the vacuform kits they continue to produce. I am always trying to help out model enthusiast especially when help is needed. So I placed a large order!!! Regards, Walter Houston, TX P.S. And to think I was willing to pay $200 for a set of floats, now I got $200 worth of cool rare kits.

Chriss7607 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Not a bad suggestion at all. Bored? Stuck at home? Need something to do? Now's the perfect time to try a vacuform kit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waltmert Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 Chris, Do remember these kits are very basic and crude. But... sometimes if you want to add floats to your DC-3 you got to start somewhere. Also, with a lot of work they can be made into something very nice.

Kurt H. Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Cool, glad they are still making kits, I bought several a few years ago. There are some pretty interesting subjects, hopefully I will someday get to a two for one with the XC-99 and YB-60 conversions, with one B-36 and both conversion kits you can build two models.

Dutch Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I have both the Canadair Argus & Convair CV-340/440/540/580 kits. Yes they are vacuforms and basic, but do build up nicely with a little imagination, time and effort (oh, and a little skill doesn't hurt, either). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
