Message-ID: <002901bff8b7$d23426c0$bd5808c3@mesh> Greetings, On 23rd.July I ordered two Morane Saulnier AI kits from NKR, following Matt's enthusiastic report. I received the kits this lunchtime, 28th.July, from Australia! Seeing as they were posted on the 25th, my fault not Earl's, I reckon that is darn good service. Not only that, the kits are every bit as good as Matt said they were. Superb mouldings, no blow holes and no warping. Two nice profiles by Chris Banya somebody, name seems familar somehow. The only nit picking I would do would be on the decals. I wish they would print the Serial Nos etc. separately from the rudder striping, make life much easier. Regards Len. PS.

Plus, before their GST update, you could receive packages from Australia *cheaper* than any other place in the US! Plus he delivered a lot soon than most as well! > Not only that, the kits are every bit as good as Matt said they were. > Superb mouldings, no blow holes and no warping.

The rudder stripes are oversize, so with some judicisous (sp?) cutting you can wrap the decal with no problems at all. Like you, I prefer to paint my rudder stripes, but I was happy enough with the decals. Don't forget you can't build Schaffer's machine out of the "bag". However, maybe with the photo you sent, we can finally determine just what the single gun looked like in this area.

Ok, the GST doesn't effect exports, so you should get approximately the same prices for kits from NKR as before. I know postage overseas is GST free, but I'm not sure if there'll be any price difference on the actual kits offered.

For the benefit of any unenlightened members, Airkits bought the moulds of Veterans 72 resin kits. Veterans 72 never, AFAIK, produced a Caudron GIII, but did make a Caudron GII Floatplane. >It should not be too difficult to make a GII, the land version of the GIII.............few beautiful shots of restored examples< Rubbish! The two aircraft are entirely different, the GII is much smaller than the GIII, the GII was a floatplane and the GIII either a land plane or floatplane. All preserved examples of which I have knowledge are GIIIs. (BTW, the FMP book has the dimensions of the GII reversed, the wing span should be 12.10m and the length 7.25m.) So don't bid for this expecting to get a rare kit of a Caudron GIII. Caveat Emptor rules.
