Quoted from KornFreak28:

Batch 4 and plane customers: This is a “blink and it’s gone” opportunity to protect the planes from airballs!
I spoke to my good friend davi about making more “all in one” airball protectors for the 3-bank drop targets and he said he is willing to make another run for you guys!
This is the ONLY protector that works with my planes because it doesn’t raise the Biplane or Tiger Moth towards the glass like other protectors (that simply screw on top of the plastic, raising the biplane) do.
davi protector is spot on and works great. I will be the middle man for Batch 4. I will get the protectors from Davi and will ship them along with your planes to save on shipping unless you really need it now and want Davi to ship it directly to you?
Past plane customers and non-plane customers are welcome to order with Davi directly.
Please advise if you are interested in this protector asap. I’ll ask Davi to post pictures of it here. Don’t miss out!!!

I'll take 2

Quoted from rolandthoms:

Gents
Get Korn to make these for you now. I fear (for some of you) that he will stop and then you will be stuck with the POS stock planes. These BELONG in the game.

I second that motion....they really are well done, and fit the game perfectly

Quoted from KornFreak28:

This will be used as a topper! It's the wing plane from Raiders of the Lost Ark, and will be hooked up the same way your planes are. This plane has been by far the most difficult one I've done. I'll post a few pics later! Thanks brother!

Good stuff

Quoted from KornFreak28:

Batch 5:
My good friend davi contacted me today and asked if I could take Batch 5 protectors to save you guys on shipping. After careful consideration I’ve decided to help you guys out by taking your protectors under the following conditions:
You understand that you will have to wait until I make your planes in order to get the protector. I cannot be pressured or hurried into finishing your planes quickly just because you need the protector. I like to give my planes plenty of details and that takes time. That means you get the protector until I ship your planes. I will NOT ship the protectors separately.
Also, I do not have a timetable or “ballpark” ETA for my planes. I work on them almost on a daily basis but this isn't my “job” and I don’t/can’t work on them 8 hrs a day. I’m just about done with 3 Batch 4 orders and will promptly continue on to the next 5 orders and so on and so forth.
VERY IMPORTANT:
If you are in Batch 5 and I get your plastic protector and all of the sudden you decide to drop out of Batch 5, I’m NOT going to ship the airball protector to you. At that point, that protector becomes my property. If we do this is because you are committed to getting my planes.
If you do not agree, I suggest you get the protector directly from Davi.
If you are OK with this and you have already signed up for Batch 5 let me know by posting in this thread. I’ll give you guys till the end of this week to decide. I need for Davi to ship them asap since I’m getting close to completing 3 orders. Thanks!

Makes total sense. Your smart to not ask for pre order money as many are not patient enough to wait months. I get why some ask for money upfront, but it comes with expectations of a reasonable delivery timeline (and thats anyone's guess)....working at your own pace eliminates the emotional stress on buyer and seller....smart man!

This means a lot to me my good friend. Certainly there are way better mod makers out there but I do appreciate the kind words
I’m looking into possibly expanding a little and offer POA (temple brick look) painting services and “carving” Idols to the stock ruins. Here’s how I painted mine

#1770 3 years ago
Quoted from KornFreak28:

I wanted to give a huge shout out to davi for pretty much saving the plane rescue operation.
Once Covid-19 hit, I was struggling to source Tiger moths for Batch 4. Even my supplier ran out of them. I luckily spotted a few on ebay from different sellers (at a much higher price) and that allowed me to work on the first couple of orders.
I thought about buying a different version that was available but I knew the Indy figures would not fit. So I turned to my good friend davi for help.
Luckily he was able to find a whole bunch of them for me and will be shipping them (along with the airball protectors) to me pretty soon.
Needless to say, I’ve been getting ahead of the game and working on all the fighter planes while the Tiger Moths arrive. Thanks davi I owe you one!

I concur.....I'm looking forward to getting my air protectors so I can start playing again

Quoted from KornFreak28:

On this topper plane I went for the desert camouflage look and applied dust and grime all over it. The window masking alone took several hours to complete. The windows are very tiny.
Making both propellers spin was by FAR the most difficult part of this build. I had to get very creative since there was very little room for wires and motors.
This plane should make for a really cool interactive topper

Great work...would look awesome on a topper
