Is Slingshot Models still in business?

I’ve found some items I’d like to order. I can’t find anyone in CONUS that carries them. Their website is still up, but seems that the last update was in 2017. I’ve tried to contact directly, to no avail.
Thanks,
Rod

As far as I know, they’re still in business in Greece. @gtdeath13 may know more.
No one in CONUS carries their line. What are you looking to get from them?

Unfortunately the owner of Slingshot Models is pretty busy with his other business and cannot ship or produce anything for the time being or the near future.

I contacted him last month and that was his response.

I’m looking for their M88/M103 drive sprockets.

Unfortunate. Thanks.

I found this old thread because I am also looking for some parts for a Turkish M48 and wanted to ask if there might be any news (meanwhile even the website seems to be down :pensive:). @gtdeath13 seems to be in contact with the (former ?) owner … ?!

I suspect he’s packed it all in; I was lucky in that I secured the early pattern M48 commander’s cupola - which is quite nicely done.

If he doesn’t resurrect the business it’ll be a shame that’s for sure.

I contacted the owner and unfortunately he has no items in the inventory. All that is left are the molds that he is trying to sell to someone. Besides the tracks is there anything else you are looking for? Most of the stuff can be found from other vendors.

Interesting. I also make the 3D prints of them. Here’s my catalog https://cults3d.com/en/users/petition2God/3d-models

I have been wanting to finish the CAD work for 1/35 M48 Chrysler cupola as another option for fellow builders but life keeps getting in the way. Maybe in April…

Thank you. Too bad. To be honest, I don’t yet know which country-specific changes I would have to implement. I would like to represent an M48A5 T1 circa 1984/1985. So probably with the 105 mm cannon but still with the original tracks and the .50 MG in the commander’s cupola on the turret. Plus the smoke launchers. I’ll probably have to find out more about this …

Thank you. But if I see correctly, you don’t sell already printed items (unfortunately I don’t own a 3D printer) ?!

I do but depends on the total and postage…
PM me if you want to discuss more.

Turkish M48T1 were upgraded M48A1, M48A2 and M48A3 vehicles that were already in service with the Turkish Army. Which kit will you be using as a basis? You can use T97 or T142 tracks.
