Hi Carlos,

I would start by asking Aircraftinternational if they still have stock, because Airtrade who fabricated this model is out of business.
For installation questions I would ask David Wilshere, I'm sure he had one.
I'm also searching for one, just last week I asked on a German forum if anybody still had a kit that I could buy.

Regards, Bart.

Yes, I still have mine here.

Airtrade closed and the moulds are in Poland with another company and I understand they may make them again. I do know where there is a new kit (I'm pretty sure anyway)
I'm tempted myself as the new SPT10 would be brilliant in this model :-)
Pm me or email me and I will check.

Mine was insanely light and beautifully painted. Only issue was exploding FG spinners. Hopefully that's fixed now.
