I haven't read much of the German-made kits and ARFs here.
Are these of questionable quality or are they worth looking at?

Jesse

Jamara is a German distributor, but their ARFs are built in China.

Hi,

Germans, as far as I know them as a Dutchman, only want high quality products. Their products are made of good quality materials.

I don't know what product you are interested in, but if you let us know other people could give you more specific information.

I have one made by Jamara but stamped with Global and found it on a Jamara site, Any how it was nicely built and great covering BUT the instructions totally UUUUMMM What does a vacume do OH yea a vacume sucks...:disappoin and the hardware is also real shabby but the plane itself was quality so if you put a little commen sence and new hardware like controle horns and such you will have a nice plane, Wich plane are you looking at, I have the .30 size waco biplane.

I have purchased the Jamara F6F Hellcat. It is of TOP QUALITY. I have not flown it but the construction and looks are better than I can do!

The Super Chipmunk is the model that I am interested in getting.
It looks like a quality model, but I have not seen one in person.

I have their Folke Wulf FW-190, 120 size. While the color scheme doesn't exactly appeal me (it's...umm... gray, like a Folke Wulf is supposed to be?), I have to give praise to the quality.

Thanks for the reply on your Jamara kit. Sounds like they are worth looking into. By the way, you are in Michigan? I just got your post to this thread at 10:24pm Central time and it's still 3/31/03. How did you post at 4:?? in the morning 4/1/03?

Now that I posted this reply, the time and date on your post has
gone to normal. When I first read your post, it actually said that
you replied on 4/1/03 at 4:17am! Must be the old April Fool's joke.

Dauntae,

It seems that there are some more models available over here in Europe. For example:

- a very nice Pitts - S1

- This Giles G-202

- And this XFreak

Go ahead and make me want to go to Europe. The market over there does have a lot we don't mostly because that's where many of them are made and only so many get imported. At liest there are still many to choose from.

Dauntae

Dauntae,

I am sure you know planes can fly.... Even if they are in a box... I am not sure how much it will cost to send one of these planes from here to the US, but I can find out.

Prices for the above mentioned planes?
Pitts- - US$ 228.00
Giles G-202 - US$ 196.50
Xfreak - US$ 164.00

Now you even more want to come over to Europe?
