Hey Jo,

I've just received a set of etched Vickers guns form Part a Polish company and they are really nice, are your turned guns bespoke or are they available commercially?

Like the wood effect and the turn buckles

Looking good Joe, I did the same kit last xmas, really enjoyed it all though it nearly made its maiden flight across the kitchen a couple of times!

My first attempt at rigging which was a bit hit & miss, here it is...

Where did you get the turnbuckles?

cheers

Hi thanks guys,

HAMP man I have used the exact same guns from part....I haven't built them them yet but they look really nice.

And hi simon those turnbuckles are scratch built from very fine 0.5/6 mm tubing from Albion Alloys. This project nearly made a maiden flight across my kitchen a few times as well .....!!!!
