Very nice car! As a hobby may be uneasy, expensive and frustrating but when you get a fully operational vintage car (or plane or any machine) is a priceless joy.

Thank you. These are a good way to stay poor, and make modelling seem cheap!

What a beautiful car!  Is that one of those strange French cars that has left hand thread wheel studs on the left hand side of the car?

Cheers,

Hugh

Not this one, but my 1928 Renault does!

Great car! You did a fantastic work.
I am honestly looking for years for a kit of a Peugeot 302. It would fit perfectly Tamiyas Citroen and Broncos Fiat/Simca...

As far as I know there is a very rare (and expensive) 1/35 resin kit of a 302, nothing more...  pity!

Buy - Sell - Swap - Trade / Eduard Albatros Dr.1 Profipack Kit # 8037

« Last post by rfindley on January 26, 2021, 08:58:24 AM »

The box shows substantial shelf wear and the resin gun breeches are missing (kit’s plastic guns are complete).  Decals are ©dated 1998 still appear quite nice, but the upper lozenge camouflage is missing.  The photo-etch fret includes fuselage and cockpit details including machine gun covers.  Plastic parts bag still sealed.  Kit is un-started.   NOTE: Panel 8 of the instruction sheet has some hand-written paint notes.  Make me an offer and we can work out the shipping costs depending on where you are.

Buy - Sell - Swap - Trade / Wanted: Speed control quadrant for 1:32 F.I

« Last post by RLWP on January 26, 2021, 08:02:08 AM »

I'm blaming the cats...

I'm assembling an Encore 1/32 F1, and I have lost the speed control quadrant!! I bent it up, left it on the bench and it seems to have disappeared in a feline related incident. Naturally, I have already cut away the plastic version

The part is the same as the Eduard etch for the Roden DR.I. I could buy an etch, on the off chance has anyone got that bit of etch spare?

I'm happy with the quadrant from either of the Eduard etches (Roden or Meng), or the Tom's Modelworks one from any of the German interiors
