[WWI] Vector Resin WWI Engines

[Nicklas, Brian]

I picked up a few off-topic 1/72 and 1/48 radials from them at Telford
in November.

Darn nice jewels!

I'm using parts of one to make my own engine, as the "Golden Age" engine
I need isn't made by anyone.

Yesterday I got home and found a package in the mail from Neomega Resin
(see: http://www.neomega-resin.com/vector/home.htm ) in the UK. They are
the distributors for Vector Resin Access. I ordered some engines and a
new item from them - Lewis MG's. I received a Mercedes D.III, Clerget,
LeRhone 110, and a Gnome (ordered the LeRhone 80 though) and 3 Lewis
MG's (1 for Tom Morgan) and I have got to say these engines (and guns)
are incredible. The Mercedes comes in 10-12 pieces and is truly out of
this world and could be built as a stand alone model. I already had the
3 rotaries. The Mercedes is actually 1/48 scale unlike the Eduard and
Special Hobbies engines which are too small. Did I say that the detail
on the Mercedes was outstanding... Well it is... The Lewis MG's are very
nice as well. The 47 round drums are especially nice.

 

For a built up Gnome see Tom's at:
http://www.wwi-models.org/Images/Morgan/Allied/index.html   part of his
N.28 build.
