PatG Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Another vote for Coastal Kits as I have a couple of their carrier bases for my 72nd scale A6M2b Zero and F6F-3 Hellcat and they look very realistic and not too expensive either. Certainly far better than if I'd tried to make a base myself as I'm not up to the standards of Shep Paine (and others) even though his books are very informative indeed. Pat.

Ed Russell Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 I used one of these https://www.scalemates.com/kits/mark-i-mka14401-raf-airfield-display-base--396433 with the colour photocopier at 200% to make multiples. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albion Alloys are the UK Importer for Uschi stuff so there are a few Traders around who will have access to his stuff without the pain of dealing directly. (Alex Glass "uschi V D R" is actually a very nice guy but is also a very busy guy so tends to miss a lot of emails etc). Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan B Cheers but when you order online and get a confirmation you expect your goods to be delivered, and then emails etc go ignored for about 4 weeks that not just missing a few emails, and going by whats onlie it happens to a lot of people. He even ignored the emails paypal sent him before getting my money back. Thats at best incompetence or at worse something much worse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely agree that there are standards that have to be met in retail (and every other walk of life) otherwise trouble beckons.
