Default Looking for a WACO kit

Hey,

Any of you guys able to recomend a kit or plans/cut kit for a scale Waco -90 or up? I've been looking for a Pica, but can't find anyone who has stock. Did Pica stop making this kit or what?

Thanks a bunch.

I have one of the PICA latest version of the 1/6 scale NIB. I took the plans out of the box and looked at them, then returned them. Nothing else was ever removed from the box. I don't think I'll ever get around to building it. I'd want about what I paid for it. Are you interested?

Try http://www.ikonnwst.com/

They have a couple, and according to them a .90 will fly them.

Good luck,

Fred, it says RC-4 on my kit box. This kit is to be white with red trim according to the decal sheet, etc. This is the newest kit to my knowledge. I'd rather have had the red and black version. I don't know anything about Pica's current status.

Fred, after your order is secured, would you mind letting us know the source? I've been looking around too.

Thanks, Gary

Fred, I bought one from what may have been the last production run. I know that I waited over a month for delivery.

Yes, it was new, from Quantum Models.

Mine's built. I just finished it.

If I remember correctly, they had the 1/5 scale for $225.00 at that time.

A friend picked up an old die cut 1/6 scale kit for $100 last fall and a 1/5 for $200.00 a couple weeks ago.

These kits are worth whatever you are willing to pay. If $200 is what they are asking, and you want it. buy it. I would.
