A model of Super Rabbit apparently just became available at http://orlik-models.pl/.

I would do it Jack. I have a pretty big collection, but I am sure there are others here who have skills better than mine.

Jack,

Card models are a bit of a different breed, but I think that if you wanted me to, I would be more than willing to check around at http://www.papermodelers.com and see if someone would consider building you one.
I'd do it myself - but 1/33 is probably more than I could finish in any reasonable amount of time! Some of those larger kits are pretty amazing.

So that is a card stock model? Y'all take a look at that link Ryan posted....wow!

[Jack Cook]

So Ryan you're clearly multilingual.
What langauge is that??? I though it was the old Aurora kit?

[RyanShort1]

It's a Polish company... A lot of the older card model companies are from Eastern Europe. Card modeling has long and deep roots over there, and rivals plastic in many ways. One of the guys who keeps up with the kits over there posted that they'd just released a B-25J model, and, me being the B-25 freak since I keep up with Doolittle stuff, I had to look. Of course seeing Super Rabbit could only bring one person to mind!

Oh, and if using Google Translate frequently makes me multilingual - I'm guilty! I was carrying on an interesting discussion in Chinese last month on the Doolittle Raiders forums.

Nice.

I have a hard enough time with plastic, I cant imagine building with cardstock as far as aircraft are concerned. I did experiment with it a little on my Lionel train layout but it just didnt work.

[RyanShort1]

Card just requires a little bit of a different skill set. It's not that much more difficult. With plastic, unless you're super-detailing (and card folks do that, too!) you just follow the instructions and try to be neat with the glue. The real fun comes when you try to paint it. With card, the challenge is more in the building, since painting is usually already done. I always hated my paint jobs (until recently, that is) so card was fun. Taking something from 2d, and making it 3d is a blast.

Bummer. You have to be registered to see the pics.

Man, check out that Corsair. That's really neat.

[Jack Cook]

I maybe keep the real one. It's still up here and
may not be going anywhere

Better start selling more photos on ebay!
