Taurus Models - news - November 2013
« on: November 06, 2013, 04:50:02 PM »
It seems that the new WNW kits, Fokkers E.I and E.IV, are not too popular. But these news may change it.
Łukasz from Taurus Models is working hard on resin engines - Oberursel U.0 and U.III. He promises to have them ready for sale in two weeks time. Today a small teaser - two shots of the U.III block. I am sure we may expect his usual quality - the highest!

I would be very interested in an U.0 engine. It will be very promising, from what I have seen before from Taurus.

regards,
Ivo

Put my name on the list for a U.0 engine as well, the detail on these engines is incredible.

I am sure, Łukasz will be delighted with your interest and you will be so with the final product.
For today - three more shots of both engine blocks. The cylinders are coming...

Did Lukasz give any indication of a time frame when the U.0 engine will be available.

Thanks Przemol, I must have missed that in your original message. I am really looking forward to seeing the engine released.

Hi Des

I have been in touch with Lukasz and the engines are ready. I would say get in touch with Lukasz directly or with some of his distributors, I hope I don`t tread on anybodys toes by suggesting this. I`ve had a couple of his other engines and they really are a work of art. It`s really nice to see the small guys like Lukasz and Ron and Costa coming up with their products. I think the WW1 modelling community all benefit from their efforts. This must really be a labour of love as I can't see anybody making a fortune out of these products. Only thing left for me to do is get a E IV now and figure out where to put and get it past the other half.

Cheers

Andrew

Maybe Lukasz can let us know what he`s got up his sleeve. I would sure like to see a mercedes DIII from him !!! Ps. I'm not involved with Taurus or anyone else apart from having Polish roots.
Come on Rowan what about an all Polski set of transfers 1/32

Did Lukasz give any indication of a time frame when the U.0 engine will be available.
