New to me: Bob's Buckles and tubes
« on: April 08, 2015, 04:38:24 AM »
I'm sure others here have used Bob's Buckles before. I have been making my own but being a lucky "winner" in the Fokker D.VII group build, I received a packet from Bob today containing a collection of buckles and tubes. Amazing. I just want to share these with everyone to illustrate how fine these details are. I plan to use them on an upcoming build, possibly my Eindecker E-I.

Thanks, Bob.

Bob can confirm that I am a truthful user of his buckles. 10 completed models in 32nd scale using his stuff. And I will always praise the quality and customer service he is offering.

And I can only echo what so many others have said.

Bob's products are one of those small things that have made an enormous contribution to our hobby.

Best wishes
