Makes you wonder where it came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is definitely "mould" involved. **LINK** He also has a moulded body of a Hurricane probably from the or something mould. There was a firm doing fibreglass fuselages and foam wings of ww2 warplanes in the 1970's they were very heavy. Looks like one of those as the cowl had to be cut off , unless you can get a foam wing its not a lot of use as there is no balsa about just now.

One customer brought in a 120 film from a box Brownie. Every print was of a slightly out of focus nose! The user had looked into the wrong end of the view finder and the lens was pointing upwards rather than outwards to the subject. We thought it was funny - the customer didn't Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Dance 1 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 How on earth do you manage to come up with a £13.70 starting bid ? No views of the inside of the mould. It looks as if it has been carefully stored out of doors so the mould surface is almost certainly useless. Can you offer 0.137 pence for it/?

Robin Colbourne Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Posted by Doc Marten on 24/10/2020 16:55:26: Where's the other half? If he's hung on to stuff like that, she probably left him a long time ago! I wondered if the Hurricane fuselage might be the Bowman's of Ipswich 50" one. Maybe a pre-production test piece?

kevin b Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Looks like the scrapyards are getting into model aeroplanes, judging by this one (would probably take cash, mate). **LINK** It looks like the "mould" has a friend. **LINK** On the plus side there appear to be a lot of inexpensive built airframes being advertised at the moment (as well as the cr*p).

Peter Miller Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 That is a sneaky way of putting your phone number in an ebay advert. Also a sneeaky wasy of putting a big advert in for a lot of stuff. Somehow I get a sneaky feeling..... The fuselage is obviousy a moulded Hurricane fuselage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Cotsford Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Doc, the first one is actually an ad for a spinner but the photos show a range of models and in the description the seller states it's for the spinner but hints that he is really selling the models but doesn't want to pay Ebay fees!

Peter Miller Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 And that is not a mould. Note that the stringers are on the outside of the fuselage. A mould would have the stringers inside and the outside would be pretty rough Edited By Peter Miller on 27/10/2020 18:09:15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin b Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I agree that it's not "dodgy" and that it just another way to circumvent paying a fee to a company that is renowned for its bias towards buyers. However the reputable scrap dealers usually offer a facility to request other parts, which they will then sell through ebay. I know, because I deal with them. Most of the others want you to deal over the telephone and wherever possible collect and pay cash. This is not restricted to a specific area, or ethnic background. Such has always been the case with trade. What I find amusing is how people "latch on" to methods of advertising / describing their goods. For instance, we are now seeing old foam artfs being sold as "vintage" and model aeroplane short kits of antique plans sold as "rare". It is the modern world I am afraid, where the stupid think they are more intelligent because they can find people who are even more stupid to sell to (I am not going to bring politics into this as it is against forum rules and I actually do know some very intelligent Americans). Maybe I should have put this on the "get it off your chest" thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy J Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Have been looking for a 30FS engine for a few weeks. Bit strange that this item has been sold on ebay twice by the same seller in the last three weeks and is now up for a third time. Do engines come in multiples of 3?
