Hello Everyone. I would like to let everyone know that if they would like a blast from the past, I now own all the moulds for the Model Technology Calypso Range designed and produced by Stuart Blanchard in the 90's. I will shortly be producing the Calypso Contests and the Calypso Cobra, and new for 2018 there will be dedicated electric fuselages for both of these models, re-designing was necessary due to the light nature of today's electric kit, both new fuselages are now one piece with a cockpit hatch. The moulds are old but still a tribute to Stu's skill, I have a full time job in France as an artisan, I bought the moulds as I was a team pilot in F3J with Mike Holtby and Brian McDonald and it was the only way I could get the model I wanted, as I couldn't find any anywhere. So I am offering a few electric versions for sale in the near future in limited numbers, both of the cobra and of the contest, and un limited numbers of the electric fuselages if people want to convert what they already have. (as these moulds are new this year) Also if anyone has a model that needs a spare part please say, and I may be able to help. That's all I hope I haven't broken any rules by posting this, it could be a advert but its really an announcement. Message me or post below if you are interested. Kind Regards Ian Turner aka The Dayglokid if your old enough to remember f3j in the late 90's
