Lovely

Wow, with that amount of stock you could open your own model shop, that is a great haul of aftermarket accessories.

More than "a bit" I'd say, but then that's English understatement for you. Then again, Kai isn't in England, so maybe not.  ::)

Good on ya Kai!

That's a really nice stash of PE Kai

I'm getting one of these from my buddy in Poland (for my next club meeting!)  ;D

Pretty rough meetings eh.   ;D

When you say one, is that one dozen, one gross, one pallet?
Would be unusal for you to buy a single of something!  ;)

Hey boogie

Yep, I think one's enough to do the job! (but you never know)  ;D

p.s. I'm also going for a lovely flying eagle badge for my bike but that's from, you know, the other war.  Hmmm, I sort of think it was all really one war with a, lunch break.

Hi Steven.  :)

Probably a good thing one is enough the way customs and postage costs are these days.   ;D

What's the import declaration going to say? I suppose, "Contents, one only antique Potato Masher", wouldn't be untrue.   ;)

The Flying Eagle badge will be a nice and very tasteful addition I think.

Probably more so than a pair of Spandaus..........but   ;D

The background reminds me of an European Cemetery or memorial park... isn't it?
see the marble signs and the absidal part of the church

A set of white metal (with mild Banana disease  :o ) legs for the Pfalz DIIIa

Dare I say it, but these look like identical copies of the WNW's legs - I could be wrong, but.....

They do look very much like a copy of WnW's, Von Bob. I guess the
strength would be the difference?

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Not 100% sure of the strength to weight ratio on these parts, Ernie  but will let you know if they resemble a Salvador Dali painting by the time I get through with them  :D

Anyways, I've been busy cutting a new addition to my Logo range... I give you! "Bristol"

The landing gear is indeed a copy of the kit's parts, made by Scale Aircraft Conversions (SAC).  They specialize in casting kit landing gear parts in white metal.

If those are the Scale Aircraft Conversions ones they probably are copies. In my personal experience they are a waste of time as they are copies with no enhancements and weaker than the plastic legs they are replacing. Thats my opinion at least. I wont but their stuff personally.
