1:3 Ventus question

Post by Scarecrow »

I have an old Airmodel 1:3 Ventus which would benefit from some TLC. One item that would benefit from replacement is the canopy. Anyone who knows the Airmodel Ventus will know that it is no longer in production, and I am not aware that original spare parts are still available.

I know that LET Models also do a 1:3 Ventus, and they also do spare canopies, and I was wondering if anyone can definitively say that it would be a straightforward substitution. In theory it should fit, but i's not exactly cheap, and I don't want to order one only to find that there is a minor variation that would involve making modifications to get it to fit properly.

I have received a third scale Canopy from LET models for a replacement on my Schueler ASH26. It was a perfect fit and although not cheap very good quality. Regards John.
