As I promised back in June, a replacement part for the WNW Albatros spinner has been developed by me and Mark Muller of Westerville, Ohio (Columbus area) in resin. It directly fits the spinner back plate provided in the Wingnuts kit without any modification and has more detail than the kit part as well as being dimensionally correct. The Part can be had by contacting Mark Muller of Model Designs Ltd., 6147 Bitterroot Drive, Westerville, Ohio 43081, 614-403-6115, [email protected]. Mark specializes in producing custom parts in a variety of mediums for any type of model, in any scale as well as offering some outstanding specialized modeling tools. If you have need, Mark will develop a solution at a reasonable price. Sorry that I did not post a picture, I am a month away from relocating my family and I from Ohio to Brisbane, Australia so I am a bit busy... enjoy the part, I have six for myself for future use.
Post has had the price removed as it contravenes forum rules about advertising. Information on the new product and contact information is perfectly okay to post.

I picked three of them yesterday from Mark. He is a good guy and very talented. I have pics but can't for the life of me figure out how to post them. If anyone is interested pm me.

Just talked with Mark Muller about this part, contact Mark for price information. He also mentioned that he has been asked if he has other Albatros parts. Mark will work with you to make any part for any type of model. Mark owns and operates a fully functional Dental Lab, he is a skilled craftsman and model builder with over 35 years of experience with a lot of national victories under his belt. He does fantastic work.

I didn't know we had someone doing these things in my neck of the woods. I'm in Columbus too. I'll have to email him. Thanks.

I just want to clear up some confusion about these spinners. Mark is standing here beside me and wants to state that the price of these spinners can be found by contacting Mike Muller at [email protected].
Also, note that there is a hole on the inside of the spinner and that is a locating recess for centering the prop.

Thanks very much for the heads-up on this new product, it will certainly be an bonus for the Albatros kit.

I would like to see the kit spinner alongside this resin replacement. Is that possible please?

I'd like to see Mark cast some really, really, hard and stiff replacement wing, cabane and undercarriage struts for our kits.
He could use that dental porcelain stuff.
