It's labeled as "fine" but doesn't specify the diameter (actually width, since it isn't round in cross-section). popeye the sailor, Jack12477, Old Collingwood and 9 others 11 1 Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

amateur Posted August 5, 2022 #93 Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) Thanks: the version my shop sells is labelled 'heavy', so I think I can deduce which is which Jan Edited August 6, 2022 by amateur thibaultron, mtaylor, Egilman and 6 others 9

ccoyle Posted October 2, 2022 Author #96 Posted October 2, 2022 So, I recently decided to suffer the injustice of high postage costs from Poland and ordered a batch of kits. The VERY NEXT DAY I learned that Kartonowa Kolekcja, my favorite publisher, just published a new kit. It's a Nieuport 16c.1, complete with Le Prieur rockets. The Nieuport 16 was an updated Nieuport 11, so this kit amounts to a repaint and slight modification of the older release. I was hoping that the next kit might be a SPAD, Albatros, Swordfish, or Fokker DVII repaint, but no joy. Still, this kit is a nice addition to the KK catalog Old Collingwood, Jack12477, GrandpaPhil and 8 others 11 Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.
