What happened to John Overstreet?
- Thread starter usaserres
- Start date
They need to get an agreement with john overstreet to cut the kits he designed in OH. As someone mentioned the masters series, at least the jets, appeared to all be getting produced at his place in MO, so as his interests went elsewhere, the inventory dwindled to aero. Not good while there is still a lot of demand.
I thought John was going to post the plans for the turtle deck and the nose of the F-14...so in the event or a crash or maintenance we can cut out more on our own. I would be more than happy to purchase another kit but now all but the F-18 are sold out so I can't even do that. I crashed by F-14 some time back broke parts of the wing mechanism along with some other bits. I really want to fix it and get it in the air again

Hmm, wish it were me.😂
Only if it's Master Series Bacon, or you are John Overstreet.
Yep. If you choose to eat it.thanks for the heart disease
I don't eat bacon.
I think there's a meme of that!
If anyone has any unbuilt kits of these disappeared models, maybe the could at least trace the parts, and then scan your work somewhere, so the patterns could be shared?I thought John was going to post the plans for the turtle deck and the nose of the F-14...so in the event or a crash or maintenance we can cut out more on our own.

overstreet is not likely to ever get back to this. Shame FT signed on to such a lousy agreement with the guy, and apparently not getting all rights to the designs
otherwise, there is Clickety Jetworks in the UK. I ordered one of his F-15 kits, the postage to the USA was not too bad at all, and shipping time was pretty quick
he has an F-14 , too. Don't know how the size compares to the former Masters Series, but Clicketys is about 1100mm with the wings forward
there are also plans you can download on his website. Clickety (Craig Clarkstone) is a prolific designer. Many jets available, and 3D printed parts. People have build and flown some very nice models from his plans. FT ought to try and get him to visit the next FliteFest. His construction method is different. But so what? At least they haven't turned into vaporware.

Only the MS Corsair, MS P-38, MS P-47, MS P-51, & MS Spitfire can be shared for personal use.
Currently, all other MS plans are not allowed to be shared.
Maybe someday that will change.
