Does anyone know where I can find this kit? Also does anyone know how challening it is, I have not done much at all with vacume formed parts(next to nothing) but I would like to build a 217K in 1/48th scale.
thanks
Your best bet would probably be to check over at Swanny’s site.
The man has done business with Koster before, and he can give you his E-mail addy.
On a related note, it’s good to see another Cross Country runner here. Congrats on the State Campionship! I ran three years in High School, and am just finishing up my second year in college.
Good luck!
OK thanks, I actually found the conversion on swannymodels but I did not realize I could get through to Koster.
YA CC takes up a lot of my time in the year, In the fall I usually have almost no time to build due to the combination of school and races.
Yeah, I’ve seen Swanny throw out Bill Koster’s e-mail address a few times, I’m just not sure what it is. If you can find Swanny’s e-mail addy and drop him a line he should be able to help you out.
I know what you mean with school getting in the way of the hobby. I’m finishing up Outdoor Track right now and I have two more weeks of school, so thing are quite hectic.
Just curious, what’s your best 5K time?
Contact Bill direct at wkoster2@comcast.net or contact me direct if FSM deletes this thread.
thanks swanny
My PR for the 5k is about 19:13 (Sophomore year) I hope to bring it down to 18:30 by next year. What are you at?
Nice. For a sophmore that is pretty good.
As for me? My best in High School was a 16:12. I’ve gotten that down to around 15:20, and I want to go sub-15 by the end of the season, so I can qualify for Nationals.
Keep up the good work!
