Capt Kremen Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Having recommissioned a Hobby King foam model from a year or three back, (Avios Zazzy), just wondered where are the moulds for this and many other now 'discontinued' foam model? Do they just get worn out beyond economic repair then recycled, or worse skipped? What is a typical production run? It is not too long ago when HK and even the likes of MPX, were regularly churning out new foam models of all types - sport, scale etc., monthly if not weekly. Do you recall all the YouTube publicity videos, static unboxing and flight demo too. Maybe the two former Brit employees might shed some light on this(?)

Don Fry Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I’m not sure Hobbyking are the manufacturers of their foam models. I’ve certainly seen a couple, different livery, on the likes of Bangood, and other far eastern sellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Bowlan Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I bought a 'Hobbyking' 2,32m span Fox some years ago. It was an ARF allegedly, although it needed a little bit of 'fettling' before it was fit for flight. Then the model would fly beautifully and it was amazing value. Fast forward to today and it is still available as the FMS Fox and apart from being properly sorted out now and having flaps, it is essentially the same model. I am tempted to buy another, although there has been some price inflation sadly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
