Resin conversions on ebay (inc. Spanish Stuff)

[Weaver]

This guy on ebay is selling a large number of resin conversions, including Hispano HA1112M Buchons and CASA 2.111 (Merlin-engined Bf.109s and He.111s), Avro Lancastrians, Manchesters and all sorts of other stuff:

I don't know the guy or have any connection to him: just thought it was interesting.

A friend of mine got the Manchester conversion, leaves a lot to be desired, more bubbles than a Aero bar.

I bought the manchester and promptly wished that I hadn't.  Looks very like the old Contrail vacform conversion built up and dropped into rubber.  Mind, that Manchester conversion looks a damn sight better than the garbage I bought.

I'd go further, stating that all of his range are pirated bits using horrible resin.  Avoid!

Ive also got the manchester, plus his Tabby and transport wellington sets. Yes the resin leaves a lot to de desired, but i certainly cant fault the guy for fast turnaround of an order.

The Avaitaion Hobby shop down in West drayton also carries some of his stuff.

As for Pirating. I know at least 4 sig members (myself included) who clone bits and bobs for their own use...and for the benifit of friends and sig members.

There's a difference between cloning a few bits for personal use and flogging them on ebay as a business!

So very true!
