RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted April 6, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 6, 2019 I personally don't think I *need* a GT3 so at the moment I'm not interested, but it's a great model to produce in RTR. Best of luck with it, I'm hoping it's a great success and you end up doing something I DO want Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted April 7, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 7, 2019 I’m hoping that next release is the original version of the LNER’s Hush-Hush 4-6-4. Very P2-esque at the front but still such a stand out shape. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) I've chosen to support this project on the basis that I want a model of GT3 and think that this offers by far the best chance of getting one of a modern RTR standard. I'd also like to politely point out to those people that seem to be using KR Model's lack of a track record as a basis to bash them seem to have disregarded that there was a time when everyone in this industry didnt have a track record... Simply put, lets cut the guy some slack and actually wait to see what happens hmm? EDIT: Not a comment on anyone specific (and if you feel that it is, i apologise, was not my intention), just a general feeling that I have formed from reading the posts on here Edited April 8, 2019 by Edge 2 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted April 9, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) I really want a GT3. unfortunately my confidence is a bit too low to invest, ive not seen enough to convince me. My susequent due diligence found things that further concerned me. I really do want one, but at this stage I will not commit. Further down the road at an EP stage I would be convinced, though this project is unusually closing its order book much further up the process than, well any other rtr project I can think of, which just adds to my concerns. I dont doubt the sincerity of the project, but crowd funding has its reputation and this project is being tackled from an unconventional angle compounding that. Best of luck with the project, I hope it works, I will have to take my chances on ebay. Thats my honest answer and opinion, I hope i wont be savaged for that, it afterall is only a model. Sorry.

Fully respect your decision. We have reached the minimum number needed for production anyway so we aren’t losing out, you are. Best of luck on eBay.

KR Models Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 As a 'crowdfunded' project, every investor has a vested interest in the completion of the project. We only went down this route, because of the capital cost it takes to produce a model of this complexity. We should have evidence within about two months of the CAD drawings and we hope to have the EP samples on display at Warley. All the major magazines will also receive EP samples as part of the publicity for the project. If once the order book has closed that there is still sufficient interest in the GT3, we may decide to produce a 2nd run.

KR Models Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) I would just like to repeat, after recent events, that we have no connection with DJ Models. The GT3 project is moving along wonderfully. The CAD drawings will be out by the end of May and the tooling begins in July. Delivery is expected April/May 2020.

Is that on the presumption that there are no changes to the CAD ? Or is there a factory slot booked which can still be used even if changes are required.

As it stands yes, but the timeline that we have set out with the factory incorporates and changes and amendments. Once we have the EP samples, then the final fine tuning will commence?
