Status: offline 		I bought the Pica YMF 3/5 on ebay yesterday. I have offered it to 2 kit cutters to see if they would be interested in reproducing this one. I believe that the Copyright has expired on this kit, and PICA is no longer in business. I need a little help here. all who would be interested in a new kit of this model, please let me know. These are business people, and they will want an idea of the demand for this one prior to making this kind of investment.

Status: offline 		Thanks, I need to show the kit cutters a bona fide demand for this one. I mean, I'm willing to let them use my kit for patterns and use the plans and the manual, this seems like a no brainer. I may end up having to have them cut the kit, and I may have to have the plans and manual reprinted, and distribute the kits myself. Small price to keep this one alive.

Bill

Status: offline 		One consideration might be that there is always at least one PICA Waco on ebay and they consistantly sell for $160.00 for the 1/6 and $250.00 for the 1/5. There is a fair amount of wood and cutting plus the molded parts like the wheel pants, cowl, fuel tank, corrogated control coverings etc. Bob Harris was cutting Sr Falcon kits and selling them for $150 with good success. Given this info you would have to get a quote form your cutter. If you go glass cowl, to buy retail they are like $30+. I did contact one cutter about the kit and they said that there were too many parts to make it profitable.. Just my 2 Cent worth.

Status: offline 		I didn't even consider the profit problem. This is probably why PICA is no longer in business. This kit should not be allowed to become lost to the ages. It is a beautiful model, and a true classic. No, it is not an ultimate, nor is it a pitts. It is the best Stand off scale model of the WACO YMF that has ever come along. I know that the scale purists out there can pick it to pieces, and I know that it does not conform exactly to scale outline, but I have never been one to nit-pick that closely. I would have been willing to finance cutting some kits in order to keep this one from suffering the same fate as have most of our favorites. This will not be necessary, since COX has purchased the PICA company, and will re-release the Grand PICA kits. There should be an adequate supply of them.
