Chris, would you mind giving me the stock number for the laser cut frames? I couldn't find my a.......... if it was handed to me in a paper bag;-(

thanks,

Thanks, I've done that and that is where the problem begins.

There is a 1:25 scale Orlik Triplane, which is what I want.

There is a set of laser frames for an Orlik Triplane, BUT they are listed as 1:33 scale. I've contacted them to see if this is a misprint and that they are the actually 1:25 scale or do they belong to the MM #10/18 Triplane that is 1:33 scale..

I'll just have to wait and see.

I believe that the lasercut stuff is for the Orlik Tripe

not the MM kit

You will of course wait, which is prudent. But I'm pretty sure it's a misprint by PMS. If I can make it out correctly, the laser-cut frames are marked Orlik and made by Drafmodels. And they wouldn't make a mistake like that. Also, MM doesn't have a Triplane requiring laser-cut frames. So you should feel pretty confident that all is well. - L.

Leif, I was thinking the same thing so that's why I placed the order. If it turns out to be for the MM model, then I'll order that and have the Triplane in two version, two scales;-) Life's rough, but someones got to do it!!

Thanks for all your help with this. Have you built this Orlik model? Just curious.

No. And what's more, I haven't seen it built at all, anywhere, except at the Orlik site. So I'm much looking forward to see you get down to grips with it - it is a magnificent modeling effort, just the design. Seeing it being built will be an extra bonus. - L
