yvesvidal Posted January 29, 2020 Share #1 Posted January 29, 2020 I was wondering if anybody on this forum has had some experience with CAF Models? I see that they are advertising on the side Bar of the FOrum, but tried to contact the owner of the company at the suggested E-Mail with no success. The E-Mail address is invalid. Specifically, I wanted to know more about their Chebec (Le Requin) in the 1/48 scale. From the pictures, it looks like a fabulous vessel and I have always loved the shape of that boat.

ccoyle Posted January 29, 2020 Share #3 Posted January 29, 2020 Le Requin is one of the CAF kits that is unavailable at the moment pending a finalized licensing agreement between CAF and Ancre.

Chuck Posted January 29, 2020 Share #4 Posted January 29, 2020 They are in the middle of Chinese New Year so you wont get them. Keep in mind that they are a member here and you can PM them. I must also state that CAF no longer sells any kits based on the Ancre monographs. They have stopped production. At this present time, Tom at CAF is working with Ancre to come to an agreement so they can legally offer those kits again. This includes the Chebec Kit you mentioned. This means that the CAF kit of the Chebec can not be built or shown in a log on MSW currently as it is a pirated design. This has been acknowledged by Tom from CAF. Should CAF and Ancre reach an agreement, then those kits that they have worked out a agreement for, will be allowed to be built and logged on MSW. Until then, only those kits other than those based on Ancre monographs are now being offered by CAF for sale.

yvesvidal Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted January 30, 2020 Tom, Chuck, Thanks a lot for the detailed explanations. Being French, let me know if there is anything I can do to help you with your negotiations between CAF and ANCRE. ANCRE's researches are exceptional and their work on various subjects deserved to be acknowledged. I certainly hope you will quickly obtain an agreement with them, as it would be a pity that their work do not get translated into kits. Both parties would benefit from it, in the sales of kits and of books. Please, let me know when you are in a position to resume the manufacturing of that beautiful kit. Thanks Yves Ryland Craze, JpR62, JeffT and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
