Hi folks,

I came across these this evening. Don't know the company but might be of interest to some.

They both look pretty good AM items.

These items have been around since the Sboot was released. The dinghy is well done and is an alternative to the kit supplied rafts. The cupola is also well done, but a little expensive and corrections can be done to the kit part with Archer rivets and weld seams, and is a lot less expensive. I have their depth charges and racks (which they don't seem to list anymore) which also makes the model more individual. What I would really like to see is a detailed bridge interior with the aiming binoculars and computer column.

A good evaluation of the kits. I hadn't see them featured before and from my side they have at least 1 AM item for the LRDG Chevy.

Cheers

I have the dinghies and skullcap from Master Casters and have been very happy with them.

However I have had the mines set on order since June 2010 and have been repeatedly informed they would be produced soon.

This has not been the case and now they no longer respond to my enquiry's!!!!!

Some of their retail outlets are having the same problem with stocks and information from them!

Does anyone make brass propellers for a full-hull display model?

I got mine from Spru-Brothers, but not cheap though! They will need a thread cutting if your intending to motorise as I have done.
