I'm selling a LDT's IAR-80A 1/48th scale, new and unstarted with a pair of True Details' resin weighted wheels and a Verlinden's Gnome Rhone 14 resin engine (from a Henschel Hs-129 1/48th update) for 30 Euro (37,90 USD aprox.) plus shipping costs
A must for every Romanian modeller... ![]() Please contact me at jgild@ccm.es Yours Juan Pablo Gil Spain |

I would like to make one small correction, if possible (I am not trying to mess up your sale - this kit is the only game in town and not entirely bad) The engine used on the Hs129 was a Gnome Rhone 14M "Mars" whereas the engine used on the IAR80/81 was a IAR14K, which was a licence-built Gnome Rhone 14K "Mistral Major". The "Mars" has a diameter of 950mm The "Mistral Major" has a diameter of 1296mm They were completely different. ![]() HTH Radu |

Radu you forgot that the thicknes of the injected part of this kit is quite bigger. The engine cowl inner diameter could hold better the small engine Mars ![]() This post has been edited by Cantacuzino on February 18, 2009 10:54 am |

As I said, I am not trying to mess up your sale. If you want to add a DB, a JuMo, or a Klimov engine to your kit pack, I have no problems with that. ![]() I am sure that it is possible to fit a "Mars" engine where a "Mistral Major" should go. As a matter of fact, you can fit a Pratt & Whitney or a Bristol engine there if that takes your fancy. ![]() Hower, all I am saying that the IAR80/81 and the Hs129 used two very different engines.

That's the reason why I hate radial engines... ![]() It's more simply to hide the DB 605 under the cowling of an Bf-109G, almost my only object of interest ![]() Thanks a lot Radu for you advices ![]() Juan Pablo |
