Dare Design is proud to announce the
addition of Diels Models to our website. Dave started his business
two years before Dare re-entered the market.
Diels designs are probably the most detailed range of
kits you'll find in the world. We call them "museum
quality" kits. The attention to detail is unsurpassed in the
modeling industry. Dave's designs are very unique (as are many of
our own) and you'll not find many of them anywhere else in the world.
We were truly amazed when we first opened a kit some 10 years ago.
We have carried the Diels line of kits perhaps that long.
You really have to open a
Diels kit and look at the
incredible detail in the plans to fully appreciate what Dave has done
with this line. He includes the rubber power parts, hardware, and
the covering too. The decals are unsurpassed. Many of Dave's designs
allow you to build any one of several versions of a particular subject
from one kit. Historical information is also included.
You'll find Diels models to be of 1/24th scale, and
they are all "true scale". Although designed for rubber power,
we know of many modelers who have converted them to Electric R/C.
In view of the technological advancements and availability of electric
power systems, especially batteries, this line lends itself to much more
than rubber powered flying.
You'll find that the entire kit line is of "printwood"
design. This means that you'll have to cut out all the bits and
pieces. That's what we ALL used to do before "Laser
cutting" technology came to be. It's really not difficult at
all. It just takes a little time and patience. I cut out his
Focke-Wulf kit two years ago...just to see if I could still do it.
It took me about two hours total time...not too bad at all. The
printing is excellent. The wood selection is what we would expect
to put into a Dare kit. |
