Martin Whybrow Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 That's seriously odd, the first time I looked at the listing, none of that extra text showed up; just looked at it again and the information has magically appeared. Agreed, with that list of problems, it's not worth anything like the money they're asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Manning Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 As I also do model engineering the idea of spending any money on tools that can't do their job is a non starter. Words like "touch" "barge pole" "don't" come to mind. JohnM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I won't criticise the english grammar though Never heard of an aircraft called 'Cognito'. Isn't that something that fires up a spark plug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 On a different tact... This one wins the "Most hand beautifully crafted cowl which looks completely AWFUL" award. Not to mention the 'gloss' finish! Has he not heard of 'inverted' ? Edited By Stevo on 28/09/2014 12:12:37 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daithi O Buitigh Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 That's a scale model of the feared German ace, Helmut von Pickelhaube who used to fly under the enemy aircraft, stand up and spear the other pilot in the nether regions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Marsh Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I know the factory who made the Pickelhaube accidentally put the spike on the inside. The Germans lost loads of people before they realized... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Privett Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I'm not sure exactly how it works with ebay "shops", but it looks like such items can be found through any country's ebay site - with the same item number, same price in US$ and a conversion to the local currency. For example; Australia **LINK** USA **LINK** Belgium **LINK** Italy **LINK** Spain **LINK** France **LINK** Except that it's blocked in France due to "legal restrictions" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
