CRM Friends,

I know you are dealing with the crazy EU issues impacting your business.  Are you running anymore manufacturing for the Pro Edition 727-100?  I see it it sold out on your website.  Want to buy a couple now and of course more in the future.  Thank you.

no, not for the time being. may…Read more

Hi,

Two thoughts on this:

Have you considered selling your products through (large) vendors such as Hannants, Aviation Megastore, Super Hobby etc. instead of handling orders yourselves? There might be a way around the PPWR when you only have to send larger shipments once in a while?

As far…

after the US tarrifs already hit us, this time we get friendly fire from our own union. From tomorrow on the EUs new PPWR package regulation is in force and its quite a sledgehammer. This political Bullshit is by far the worst ever thing we have seen until now, it basically requires every online shop to apply…Read more

Call it Confirmation Bias if you want, but The CRM 727-100 three view drawings depict the beacon and the blade aerial on the centreline, so there.

thats a mistake … will be corrected in the online version and with the next release.

its quite easy. Top view:

B727-200: Beacon right of Centerline, VHF Antennas left of centerline

B727-100: Beacon AND Antennas left of centerline.

I dont know what exactly i have written in the instructions, but thats how it is supposed to be.

Kind regards

I’m always fine with kit decals if they provide the detail markings so I can avoid buying a detail sheet. Now we just need these ridiculous tariffs to go away so I can order that combo set of the -100 and -200. 40 Euros stings. 🙂

I’m in the same boat. The day…

Sure, Pan Am, UA, AA, etc. are more popular, but you have to pay the licensing fees.  The true question is what percentage of modelers actually use the kit decals?  My guess is not very many, and if you take into account the second kit and beyond, then the number is zero on those subsequent models.

How about Ariana?  🙂
I’m 100% sure you will not have any issues with licensing.

theoretically possible, and i always liked the livery but not really popular enough.. 🙃 if we could, we would go for pan am, UA, AA etc, cause it really is a selling point, but its not easy to get a licence.

I am looking forward to testing the new way the windows work on the -100.  Saves me the time of cutting out the window area like I did on my -200 and also seems to have mid-fuselage supports for the windows.

looking forward to this one but curious, why bother designing/printing/including USAF decals that less than 1pct of buyers will actually use? There was one C-22 and the scheme is really plain and boring.

That decision was not made by CRM but by DHL/ Deutsche Post, since they no longer conduct shipments to the US except express deliveries.

Thats quite sad, especially because we recieved our first 727-100 testshots and the release is coming this year.

Hi Malair, beautiful A340! Thanks for the anecdote on the MRP. What PSI are you guys spraying this paint out of the airbrush at? Will it thin with lacquer thinners like Mr. Hobby (if you want to thin a gloss coat, etc.)?

I use MRP paints ONLY for airliners and they are the best paints IMHO. The are perfectly thinned, they level excellent and they dry quickly. For me it is the easiest way of airbrushing. No hidden surprises!

You know, on the actual plane, the upper anti-collision light and the upper VHF antenna are offset from the fuselage centerline.  This was to prevent any ice accumulation from going to the center engine intake.

We know, that is why it is written in the instruction manual as a note (step 30).
