Tasman Model Products
I´m able to
open this page on Tasman to the
courtesy of Allen who provided me pictures
of the Aerospace CT4A Airtrainer depicted
right. Another case to study how long it lasts to
get information about a brand ,
which is new to me (compare
EKO kits).
I got
aware of Tasman plastic kits in October 2009 browsing John
Burns
PAK-20.
He writes:
Tasman Model Products np
[ not producing ] New
Zealand
" Rex Barker started this short
run, injection-molded kit company in the
late 1980´s. In the early 1990´s this became
the "parent" for several New Zealand plastic
kit outfits. Included were Tasman,
Falcon,Ventura, Kiwi Wings, Southern Cross
and Upgrade"
.
Burns lists about 50 kits, many of them
variants of a single type.
I list here only those I´m especiall
interested in (Airspeed
Consul is a must-have ).
Airspeed
Consul
Airspeed Envoy,
Avro Anson,
Miles Aerovan
Nord 1001 Penguin
Aerospace CT4A
Trainers.
Should I find other type of aircraft before
finding any of my favourite kits I naturally will buy and present it here as examples for Tasman
products.
