Where to buy Albion Alloy product online?

[FarEast]

Hey guys, one of my LHS closed down recently here in Japan that stoked Albino Alloy products - specifically 0.5mm/0.3mm tube so I'm looking for a reliable online retailer that can ship international at a reasonable price.

Any suggestions?

Have you tried this place, I always have received excellent service at a good price. I buy all my Griffon brass tube from them and they ship post free.

They 0.5 OD 0.3 ID is on back order, however I just contacted the chain of stores and they very kindly redirected me to a webstore where I could purchase the products from. It's sad as the crew at the shop were really great guys that although had no clue about WWI aircraft (They only sold SWS ZOUKEI-MURA kits) they always took a huge interest in the work I was doing.

but if this place can ship to Japan for free - I will certainly be using them in future!

I dont know if it will help you, but in the States Last Cavalry www.lastcavalry.com has started selling Albion products. I just got a huge restock including the new connector  bits. Dave says he should be able to get the tools also.

Get all mine on EBay.

The problem with ebay is the shipping costs, I originally ordered through a store there but after discovering a local dealer it worked out a lot cheaper - yep there was a mark up but no shipping.

Anyway for now I have got my stock levels back up...... 6 tubes of 0.5mm/0.33 makes a lot of turnbuckles!

Me too It's a good place for Canadians to buy from as they ship USPS and the Border Service/Customs folks tend to not bother with the package thus no duty nor, as with Squadron, Brokers fees! The latter can double the cost of the order very easily!

Does anybody know where to source brass tubing that is oval as it looks like I will need to fabricate inner wings struts  for my Albatros DV.a. As mine seem to folded in half overnight.

easy enough to make from round tubing by pinching in a vice -- check my build log for exact specs [around page 78 or 80 or something ]

MY GOD BO!

Those are incredible!!! Its the Carbane struts that have gone on mine they both buckled outward I think I should have attached them to the top wing first and then the fuselage.

Does anyone have any tips on attaching the top wings as I always seem to have trouble.
