[WWI] Vector Resin WWI Engines

[Jim Landon]

Vector engines are very very nice indeed. One of the members of our local IPMS club had a short-lived dealership setup with Vector and he passed samples around the room. I missed the chance to buy some ... glad to find out there's a source. Too bad the exchange rate for US dollars is so bad. Is there a US distributor? Jim

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.
