For all of you who want K&C to revisit their wooden Warbirds line,

This website has pictures of mahogany airplanes being made in the Philippines.

Thanks Steve! That's what some of us want to see K&C return to in future. When last I was contacted by Andy, there were still two factories in China he was considering.

Just for the record, yesterday and the day before I spent about 12 hours moving my collection out from storage into my dining room to set up for the Symposium. There will be 45 different K&C Warbirds on display. As soon as Brad gets over here to help me set up, I will have him post some shots of the displays.

Has anybody ever bought anything from these people and if so, any comments.

What scale? Have you ever bought anything from Motion Models? If so, would be interested to see how they compare.

The scale is 1:16, which makes this sucker decent size, around a 17" wingspan. I never have purchased anything from Motion Models. I do have some 1:46 Corgi stuff but I dont think it will compare because its diecast.

Motion Models makes very nice airplanes at any scale you want. Their website is www.motionmodels.com

Here's an example of something I bought from them, in 1/32nd scale, http://www.treefrogtreasures.com/forum/showthread.php?t=801&highlight=hawker

Thanks for the picture and the link dude. Those models look pretty tight. I assume theyre plastic and not die cast or wood correct?

That's not plastic. That's mahogany wood, in a matte finish.
