hey all, i have a very rare kit on my falcon, its not quite an XR kit and its not quite a Tickford one... no one so far can tell me what kit it is. it has USC written in it, yet no one can find information on this company.
now i have had multiple people PM me about where i got the kit from, the front and side skirts were on a car i bought and the rear was found on ebay named a XR kit but from looking at it its FAR from an XR kit... (see pics) i want to copy this kit from a fibreglasser for my dad and any other members on here who want kits. my dad has informed me i need t check if its patent?? ect so i dont get sued for doing it. the only other way is to change it in a few ways... can anyone help me out in how to go about checking on if i can legally copy this kit and resell the copies? this is an XR kit 
and this is my kit - you can see the differences

USC went out of business.
i've seen a few cars with them, but they're not overly common.

USC was "United Sports Cars" of Taren Point, Sydney. They went bust about 7 years ago and not too soon. Their stuff was pretty poor. The kit is a slight variation of the factory Sprint and XR kits.
Actually, the air dam on the blue car is a Sprint. Yours is closer to the XR I can do stuff closer to genuine than that kit for far less than it'll cost to make moulds off the USC bits. Cheers, Bob

If i were you i would copy it without permission...
Do you really think places like AWC, carmate, ssv etc ask FPV etc if they can copy their kits and sell them? lol |

i wouldn't worry about infringing copyright in this case. USC are long gone and at any rate, they wouldn't have bothered getting that design registered. Very few do.
Cheers, Bob
