Buying Die-cast or model planes

[moy71]

Hello all.

 

I am trying to find a die-cast / plastic kit / scale kit / etc of a Jabiru LSA55 or similar plane. Been looking on ebay, hobby shops and overseas but the Jabiru range is nearly non-existent. Heck I'd consider the "matchbox" range too if they have it.

 

Anyone had any luck in this area?

 

I am after one simply for posterity's sake as it is the plane I learned to fly in.

 

Thanks!

These little units on eBay don't look too bad : eBay.ph: Jabiru ULM Private Airplane Wood Model Free Shipping (item 350012911714 end time May 31, 2009 10:21:14 PHT)

I actually saw those this morning. I agree, they look very good. In fact they are my "fall-back" in case I don't find anything else. Thank you.

Also try this guy. You can send him a picture of the plane and he does a replica of it in the colours etc.

I have seen his work and it's pretty good.

BLA82, may I ask what plane you had custom made?

That's something I should look into making I reckon... a bit of wood carving.
