Im going to put a plug in for my favorite aviation hobby shop.....only because I think you all would benifit from this resource.I am in NO way affiliated with them.
AVIATION WORLD in Toronto is the largest bookstore I have ever SEEN that deals strictly with aviation topics...In my opinion it is an incredible resource for reference material...they have a manager there who is a diehard modeller with a basement full of kits !!.. Mark is a great guy,a lover of biplanes ,and a fountain of knowledge.
These guys can really pull a rabbit out of a hat .
Now that Iv buffed them up obscenely ...I will say that I have contacted them in regard to the availability of this wonderful kit ,and working towards getting it on their shelves quickly.

The ArdPol 48 scale resin kit of the F.33L at Roll Models for $130.00 USD. Jadar sells it for $ 70.00 USD. Thats $57 with their non-EU discount, but then you add shipping.

Jadar site here.

The Techmod kit is a FF.33E. Here are some of the Techmod test shots being assembled.

Hi All

as Stephen has just bumped this thread i want to add here that the Techmod product is not dead. They were experiencing some problems to get the sprues from the mold, which needs some redesign for ejector pins.

all the best
