Dear Gunn Club
I am absolutely delighted to confirm our first 1/30th scale aircraft will be an FW190 limited to 150 ETO and 150 in another version yet to be decided. I have attached photos of the silicone mould we will be using to start casting with this week. For those of you with questions let me answer a few first before the emails start coming in:
1. Will the model be painted? Yes in 2 versions with transfers and exhaust stains alongside the engine.
2. Will there be a clear plastic canopy? Yes with fully detailed interior.
3. What will the price be? Not sure but hopefully less than others about to go on the market.
4. Will there be a pilot? Not sure – probably not as we have produced 3 figures that can be bought separate if so desired. If you feel strongly about the lack of pilot please let me know, but this is meant to be a stationary aircraft.
5. When will the aircraft be ready? July 2010.
6. Its got plastic guns? No these will be replaced by metal parts on the finished production model.
7. What do you think of this latest creation? In my humble opinion its one of the most beautiful pieces I have held in my hand and is absolutely stunning, this is why we chose the FW190 to be our first aircraft. If sales are good then we will be producing plenty more aeroplanes in the following months to come.
Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have that I have not answered above, once again thank you for your support because without you we would not be here. More pictures going on the website

Regards Thomas Gunn

I like the idea of no pilot and vote for that.
