The 38 Class: Corrections to the pilot models are underway at the factory and will be completed when work resumes in March after Chinese New Year. Art-work is nearing completion and will be at the factory when work resumes in March. Painted samples are also now nearing completion and will accompany the art-work.
It is always dangerous to predict delivery dates but if corrections and paint masks are completed in March an April/May production date is likely
These are available for $595 Aussie and for an extra $99 you get sound too.

Yes they are nice but they are in ABS plastic and if the Lima 38 was anything to go quite light in the weight stakes. The Eureka Garrett is a nice model but it is quite light and nowhere near the weight of of a Footplate Garrett. Here's a pictute of my C38 which is a Footplate kit/

I'd get one if I thought I could do a similar job. Unfortunately I have never tried one of these kits and a Garratt is probably not the one to start on.
