Title: Albion Alloys
Post by: Des on September 19, 2013, 08:03:42 AM

Matthew from Albion Alloys has sent me the latest product list which may be useful for the modelers. Interesting are the slide fit Aluminium, Brass and Copper micro tubes, these could have endless possibilities. To view their entire range go to  http://albionalloys.co.uk

Matthew from Albion Alloys is sending me some samples of the slide fit tubes, I will conduct a review of the products and post the results on the forum.

I have some of their slide fit tubing, as well as some other stuff of theirs and it is all top quality! I used some of the micro tubing for the upper warping wire mounts on my 1:72 Nieuport IV and it worked a treat. Highly recommended!

Has anyone had success in contacting Albion alloys to place an order lately?

 I have in the past, but the last time I wanted to place an order several emails went in answered. I see they have a website dedicated to model builders titled "modelskills.co.uk" but it doesn't list any of the metal Albion sells as being available.

They do offer excellent products but are hard for those of us accross the pond to get a hold of. Anyone have any luck out there?

I ordered off the website several months ago with no issues. Sprue brothers carries the line in the USA.

And Roll Models carries everything Sprue Bros doesn't, if you can tolerate dealing with them (slooooooow)
