Mersey Window Set
« on: September 01, 2013, 12:55:42 pm »
Hi folks..


I'm starting to gather all the bits and pieces for my Mersey build and have got myself into a bit of a quandary..


I'm looking to buy the window set but have found two suppliers - Macs Mouldings & Speedline Models.


Big difference in pricing between the two.


Can anyone advise on the comparison of quality and build.

Hi Declan at £2.50 each speeline won't be getting an order from me, so unless model by design do stanchions it will be model slipway. :-)) :-))

Try RB models, they have a very good selection of stanchions @ very good prices from .33 euro to .58 of a euro.I have bought some of their stuff  & it is first class all the way & you can't beat their prices. You can also buy their parts through Cornwall Model Boats also.Mick B.
