1/32 accessories; what's recommended?

Daryl J. · 9 July 2006, 01:05 PM

Hello,

What photo etch sets are recommended for the 1/32 Hobbycraft kits:

1/32 Spad ''International"
Sopwith Camel
Dr.1...

...and the Academy Nieuport 17?

I'd like to do some basic upgrading to some simple kits for a change and decided to use some larger scale WW-I kits.

Thanks for the help.

Hello Daryl,

I build mainly in 1/72nd and 1/48th scales, but I think that Tom's Modelworks make photoetched fret in your scale. Many of them are generic (French aircrafts, German aircrafts, ...) but I think that it's a special fret for the Camel.

Hope this is help

Best regards from my little Belgium

Tom's Modelworks makes a Detail Fret for the 1/32 Hobbycraft neiuport Kit. CopperState Models make Excellent MG Kits and instruments. BUt I am unaware of one for the Spad Just yet ?

Ive asked our own Buzz41 in Hawaii for an update here on the Forum ? Last I was aware he was working on a Detail Fret for both the HObbyCraft Camel and Spad. But there is no word?

Vector do 32nd resin engines. I have one of their 48th ones and it's amazing.

You can get vectot engines from http://www.lindenhillimports.com/vector.htm They are USA based.

or http://www.neomega-resin.com/vector/home.htm I have ordered from neomega are they are good to deal with. they are in the UK.

So in 32nd you can get this engine Le Rhone 110-120hp Oberursel UrII

Copper State in the USA do great 32nd stuff too. http://www.amug.org/~copperst/details_32.html

Just an example of some of what they do.

With all the 32nd kits coming out now the intrest here in this forum thought it would be good to bring this one back up.

NOT to mention CopperState is the Exclusive Distributor for DIgmeyer Hand carved wood Props in all scales. !!!! Digmeyer ? Ring a bell ? WIndsock Data Files , Digmeyer ? Digmeyer also is the one who created teh masters for all of Copperstates one of a kind Unique Resin Kits !!

He lives overseas and is moving to a new location this month so there is a long back order on wood Props.
