Verlinden Radio sets????
Posted by chevit2001 on Wednesday, September 13, 2006 10:11 AM
 Don't know if this is the proper place on the forum for this but here goes any way. I just received my order of five of the Verlinden resin cast radio sets. Any one else get these? The detail and cast are really poor to my standards. Don't think it is fault of the company I ordered them from. It kind of leaves me question though whether to get any Verlinden resin cast items it the future. I know from reading other post on the forum on Verlinden that others have noticed that their resincast quality hasn't been up to what others exspect. Any one know of other sources for scale model radio sets besides Verlinden?

Do a search at http://www.greatmodels.com and you'll see a good number of radio sets.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

I've been feeling the same way about Verlinden lately as well. Can't quite put my finger on it. Disenchanted, perhaps. I try to avoid their figures these days.

Verlinden resin work was fantastic about ten or fifteen years ago. But nowadays, the radio set that comes with a Dragon tank kit will sometimes be of better quality.

Funny how that works. But what was great back then isn't necessarily great now, and I think Verlinden is failing to keep up with the times.
