Thanks to Jean-Luc! I was able to purchase four 1/48 Special Hobby kits from his local Hobby shop at a very decent price. The package hit the door today. It had ;

Spad VII 48010 RFC & USAS kit that has been out for awhile. here is a third resin nose cowling / radiator (full shutter type)as well as the two usual early version plastic ones.

Sopwith Tabloid SH48011 Also has been out for awhile. The PE spoked wheels are a nice addition.

Sopwith Schneider SH48012 (basically the Tabloid on floats) Some resin but lots of plastic. The kit has a very unique set of markings.

Lloyd C.V SH48013, This seems like a sweet little kit. All exterior parts seem to be plastic and all interior based parts seem to be resin.

Looks like its going to be a busy winter. But I like it like that!

Merci Beau Coup mon ami!

Hi Antoni
Haven’t seen the Karayas guns, will order them in the next time. The etched bits from Parts is in my opinion equal to edaurds, not the same flashy instructions but okay. I will use the wickers set from Parts in my Camelbuild. It’s the best wickers I seen get.
Cheers

Aeroclub imports Part into the UK and I live almost in walking distance. So it's easy for me to get the sets. I have trouble with the instructions. There is one component on the PZL 37 Los I cannot find where it goes. Aeroclub opened another set for me to see if some of the instructions were missing but no so. I emailed Part last October. Still waiting for a reply. Eduard instructions are much better.
