JeffreyK Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) Hi all, after about (or more than?) two years in the making, I can finally introduce to you my company Hypersonic Models. My web shop can be found under www.hypersonicmodels.co.uk. I produce resin detail sets, decals and paint masks (in cooperation with Miracle Masks), everything in 1:48 scale. Available immediately are corrected, narrow tyres for the Hasegawa F-104 and a big sheet of Edwards AFB badges/shields for USAF experimental and test aircraft of the 50's and 60's. A whole bunch of X-15 resin sets for the Special Hobby kit is ready and awaits further casting (some moulds needed replacing). The release is only a matter of weeks/days. So please have a look and browse my website and check back over the next few weeks. I also have a special offer for you guys in mind, so watch this space... Cheers Jeffrey Note: for all Britmodeller customers, I offer a 10% introductory discount from now until the end of August. After you've ordered, send and email with your name and order number quoting "Britmodeller" and I'll refund 10% of the order total! Edited July 22, 2012 by JeffreyK
Neal Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Nor really my area of interest or scale I'm afriad, but the Website looks good as do the products. Good luck, I doff my hat to anyone with the courage to launch their own business.
noeyedears Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Hey Jeff, any chance of you doing the fin correction and slat sets that paragon used to do?

Looks good so far. I started out exactly as you did. I made my own scratchbuilt corrections and additions for my own builds. A few people asked me to make a copy for them, and then, more and more were asking. Now I am so busy I don't have time to do any building for myself!! However, I am enjoying the challenges of master making now. Good luck, Harold
JeffreyK Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) Thanks a lot for the encouraging words! As for the Paragon fin correction (I first had to Google it to find which plane we are talking about ) for the Tornado, it's not on my immediate "to do" list, no. But let's see, if I get everything done that is on my list and there's time, I keep it in mind! Jeffrey Edited July 21, 2012 by JeffreyK

It might be worth asking Mike or any of the other mods if you can have your own little part of the forum, like the other vendors here. That way you can advertise your products freely there. thanks Mike (not the main mod!)
Aardvark Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) Hi all,after about (or more than?) two years in the making, I can finally introduce to you my company Hypersonic Models. Cheers Jeffrey Hi, Jeffrey! I published in the section of references on http://scalemodels.ru/ , links on your site: http://scalemodels.ru/links/1100-Hypersonic-Models.html (at the same time and on Harold site: http://scalemodels.ru/links/1099-AMS-Resin.html http://scalemodels.ru/modules/forum/viewtopic_t_40651.html ) during discussion there http://scalemodels.ru/modules/forum/viewtopic_t_40652.html was a question of that that for drawings X-15 were used by you? Unfortunately for some of our modelist from Siberia http://tolkomodel.ucoz.ru/ news about release of a correcting set X-15 by you, was late: http://tolkomodel.ucoz.ru/index/anonsy/0-19 such they at us impatient a little!

JeffreyK Posted July 23, 2012 Author Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Hi Serge, thank you very much! In my website statistics I've seen the link from scalemodels.ru and was wondering how the word had spread so quickly, so thanks for that! I know that my sets might come too late for some, the Special Hobby kit is out for quite a while now. But better late than never... Cheers Jeffrey Edited July 23, 2012 by JeffreyK
Enzo the Magnificent Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Ooh! Now this looks interesting! What are the chances of 1/48 kits of the HL-10 and M2-F2?
the MDman Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Now this looks very promising m8! I guess you already can consider me as a future customer.
John Laidlaw Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 What are the chances of 1/48 kits of the HL-10 and M2-F2? +1 And, for that matter, the X-24A and B?
JeffreyK Posted July 28, 2012 Author Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) While I certainly agree that these are great subjects that deserve "proper" kitting, I don't think that at this stage I've got the capacity for full kits. Casting would have to be out-sourced as the large parts in my X-15 sets are more or less the maximum size I can cast with my equipment. I've got lots of smaller, but very nice stuff "in the pipeline" though. But that doesn't mean lifting bodies are out of discussion for ever! Cheers Jeffrey Edited July 28, 2012 by JeffreyK

You'd have at least one sale, though . Nice website, by the way. Looking forward to the release of the X-15 parts!
