Hanger kits

HNL-Chris · 08-20-2000, 10:49 PM

Several people have asked if our airport hangers were made with a kit. They're not, but since so many have asked we're considering making the "basic" hanger kit. When assembled it would look much like the Gemini hanger on our site. It would be pre-cut, but would require assembly and painting.

We could probably make the kit for $12 to $14 depending on the price of plastic. The price would include shipping in the U.S. So...the question is, would there be any interest and if so we welcome your suggestions?

Aloha, Chris & Jack

Chris,

Since I am receiving the instructions in the mail from you on that hangar, I'm not sure I'd be interested in that particular building, but most likely I'd want the 60's freight!

Kyle,

Travis Campbell · 08-21-2000, 11:22 AM

I would be interested. I lack the time to get the supplies my self, let alone probably the time to consruct it.

Travis Campbell · 08-21-2000, 06:55 PM

Will these include the UAL hanger on your site?

HNL-Chris · 08-21-2000, 07:48 PM

Travis, at the moment my dad and I are exploring the idea of providing a kit that is the basic hanger like the one featured in the Gemini Album. If that's successful, we might consider building kits for a hanger like the UA hanger. It requires a lot more plastic and is far more complicated, but it could be done I'm just not sure what the price point might be. Thanks! Chris

Sign me up. I would be more interested in a completed, assembled, and painted hangar as I am a loser when it comes to detail work.

Continentalboy · 10-23-2001, 03:38 PM

HNL-Chris · 01-27-2002, 10:38 PM

We tried several different suppliers to obtain bids for three different hangar kits. So far all the bids we've received would not make it equitable to try and market kits. However, we still trying and have two more manufactures bidding. Any ideas?

ptolbert · 01-28-2002, 12:11 AM

You could become an evergreen dealer

Spectre · 01-28-2002, 10:45 AM

well, I hope it works out

also, what paint do you use
brush or spray?

HNL-Chris · 01-28-2002, 12:22 PM

For the base finishes on building I use canned spray paint. For some detailing I use an airbrush.

odarwin · 01-28-2002, 11:32 PM
