  1. Another Bowman kit has appeared on eBay back in June, so that's been added to my collection. It's a Raider 26 sports model, not one I've come across before, and one I’ve been thinking about putting together with an electric conversion at some point. Well that point has come! The pictures of this kit I originally posted in July on my other Bowman thread, but I’ll repost them here. Not wanting to trash the kit I’ve decided to get the plan scanned and copied. Word of warning when you ask your local printer for a copy, don’t forget to state you want it printed at 100%, and not scaled down to fit what ever paper size they happen to have set. Well we got it right the second time around. Having got the plan copied I’ve set about making up a new kit of parts using the original parts as templates. Having raided my stock of wood I now have complete second kit. As none of the ribs are detailed on the plan other than rib 2, I’ve also scanned the ribs on my home printer so I have a record. Interestingly the ribs in the kit are cut to just the basic shape with no cutouts for the spars so they all need finishing before they can be used. That will do for now more pictures when I start putting it together.
  2. Over the last couple of years I've found myself back building a couple of old Bowman Model Kits from my past. This has started an interest in their range of models & preserving as many of the plan as possible. I now have several Plans & a kit lining up for their turn on my building board to keep me busy! In order to keep track of what I have I started a list, this has now expanded into a fall on list of all the information I have on Bowman Model Kits range. It's not a complete list by any means. A few of their kit plans are now on a couple of the sharing sites & Sarik Hobbies. I thought I would share it. I'd love to add any information you guys may have, or if you see something I've got wrong, that to. Furthermore, I would also like to know a little more about the company, I remember some of their history form back in the day, but it would be great to find out more. My Fleet so far!
