Just wait Chris... I went through Ercoupe.net site and found more interesting ones...

I think you ought to send an email to the "owners" clubs of some of these aircraft. I bet there would be some purchases from owners.

Some of the better paint schemes (In my opinion, of course).

Great word of mouth advertising too Thanks! Wll look into that after a few more variants are up! Assuming the model proves popular enough to warrant his time to repaint.... hint hint

Completely bogus paint scheme. No preWWII AAC aircraft wore that kind of camoscheme...looks cute, though. Now, an OD upper and Neut Grey lower would be more like it.

Honestly, we need more civilian aircraft represented. I'm personally tired of all the psuedo / fake military schemes on perfectly good civilian birds.

Firstly - I agree about the civvies in bogus camo schemes - there are plenty of legitimate schemes that can be done.

Secondly - in the late 1930's the Army tested a dozen or more (sometimes bizarre) schemes, one of which was very similar to that shown on the ersatz military Ercoupe. The Cleveland Air Races of 1939 saw several P-36s in some of those schemes and they were also seen on P-26s, P-35s and P-36s in various war games in the 1935-1939 period. If you want goofy schemes - do one of those aircraft and leave the classic civilian aircraft in their classic colors.

I dont disagree Ryan. I cant say for certain the market agrees though. I am hoping that this particular high quality model proves that civlian will sell as well as military. They quality is certainly there...

On a side note a cockpit would really boost interest too

I just learned something new - the Army purchased three Model 415C Ercoupes, one as the YO-55 and the other two as XPQ-13. At least one was used in testing the rocket-assisted take-off technique! None of the extant photos show them in camo, however. LOL
