Status: offline 		Thanks CHad will for sure make a phone call. I had heard somewhere though that he was going to but wasnt cost effective but I will def call be cheaper to make a phone cal than to possibly pay more.

for info purposes From Mick the cowls, canopy, wheels, spinner and i think there was something else was 125 lbs sterling shipped so roughly 190 US

Status: offline 		Joe, I know Bob carried the stuff at one time because I ordered it from him. I got the plans, canopy, and spinner but no cowl. He had the cowl but I did not purchase it as I was using the stuff with a glass fuselage. Bob did mention it was too expensive to import the entire fuselage but the cowls he did have on hand. Of course, this was all about 4 or 5 years ago so things may have changed. Good luck with it.

I made two cowls for my 1/5 scale Spitfire Mk I ........ which is a Merlin-engined Spitfire. The plane is built from blown 3 views so I had to make everything...but the cowls follow the scale panel lines.....
