These kits were purchased from Dan and unlike some other kits, the quality does seem a bit better no glue smothered everywhere anyway, but still plastic threads & poor clip fixing.

As for the photography :thinks::thinks: it is helped by the editing, getting the exposure just right (the exposure was not right when I took the photo) also the brass tubes are painted to match the main acrylic colour (blue)

Really nice job of them Billy


Very nice Billy, I wish they did these with metal male threads though

And this one.

I understand that it may be changing back to a plated metal thread rather than the plastic or metal painted ones.

It's a pity of the quality but it's what we are seeing being swamped in the market I'm afraid..:down:

Very nice indeed Billy. The blanks and kits compliment each other and they've been turned very well. :thumbs:
