J160 Scale Model

[DrDexter1975]

Does anyone know if it (and where!) is possible to buy a scale model of the J160?

 

Would be great to have a small version of my favourite flying machine on my desk!

We once had a founding member of our club pass away and because he was one of the first ever Jab owners, Jabiru provided us with a scale model of his LSA55, in his original colour scheme complete in a glass box. It was used as a memorial trophy. Perhaps Jabiru can help you out.

Try eModelAirplanes on ebay.

 

They have J160 models in solid wood (Phillipine Mahogany) and do a custom paint job if you send them pictures of your plane.

 

Cost about $150usd with custom paint.

 

Very good qaulity, takes about 6 weeks.

 

They look brilliant!

I can get those hand crafted wooden ones here for about the same price in Australian dollars - I would need a picture of your aircraft for the colour scheme.

 

If you are interested let me know and I will look into it further and confirm the price with the guy that crafts them.

Ian I'm definately interested in a J160 - looking forward to the details!

 

Unfortunately eModelAirplanes didnt have any pictures of of a scale Jabiru - just the real thing...if they have actually made one - why not show the model???
