I’m sure the GT3 in oo will be good but it’s not my scale. 7mm is and yes I would be interested if the price was right, I think you may get a lot of support on that one.

I'll ask the factory for a quote and see if it is viable. I would guess the price point would be around £500-£600, DCC ready. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as Hattons are looking for £750 for an A4 and A3 I think you’re in the right ball park there, not sure how many you would need to sell to make it viable.

There's where we have to look at the production costs vs customers vs price. Over price it, not as many will buy, price too low, you need more customers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is it on your wishlist, but It has been High Polling in the annual Wishlist Poll since 2013. It entered The Top 50 for the first time in 2018 at approximately equal position 19 overall.

Be still your twitchy palms, you guys have no patience at all So it has been suggested that we were a scam, just out to take peoples money, have no credibility at all. Yet the sales of the GT3 do not support this theory. So just to show openness here is two of the development stages of our CAD work. As you can see the chassis is almost complete and the basic shape of the body is nearly there. In a few weeks, the CAD work will be complete and the Tooling starts in July.

Regards, John Isherwood. As there isn't a prototype to scan then all CAD will be from ground zero. Getting the basic body shape is the most important (to me) after that adding detail is fairly straightforward. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSpencer Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Good to see the CADs underway but would agree, the several weeks to July seems short to get tooling underway. Especially as some thoughts on how many parts, how to produce each part, order of assembly etc have yet to be thought through - so good deal of work still required. (And doubtless some checking the CADs are correct needs to be done too - otherwise it would quite quickly become the "not the definitive model we had hoped for" if features are missing, incorrect, incorrect size etc!). Good for KR Models if they achieve all that so quickly, but no bad thing if we loose a month or two either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaymzHatstand Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I personally am not interested in GT3, but am interested in how the model develops and comes to market as one of the possible future projects does interest me. I wish this project well, and hope those who have been brave enough to pay a deposit in good faith are rewarded with a top notch model. If this proves to be a success (and from the regular update, it is certainly promising) then that will absolutely instill confidence in future endeavours (as well as being a thumbed nose at the nay-sayers) Good luck, and I hope to deal with you in the future!
