Re: [Amc-list] Tarpon model?

["Armand Eshleman" <aje1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know about you but most of the resin parts and kits I've seen,
purchased. or made are not "cheap". Resin casting is an art all to itself.
It's not easy to cast those big parts and have them come out
flawless......... a little flash is acceptable ......... if you've cast
parts you know what I mean ...........

I think you are correct though it must be a resin  repop of a JoHan kit.

The Tarpon appears to be a shorter version of the big fish  Marlin   was the
Tarpon based on the Rogue / American chassis???

hmmm...  i wondered about that too, but dismissed it as
camera/lighting/etc.  but maybe he's making cheap resin knockoffs of
the johan kit?
