We HAVE a US Source for Adler's Nest Products - Hard to find and sublime machined metal parts

A while ago, Tamiya released their Pz.Kpfw. I series and I fought the urge to buy the 'latest and greatest' as I already suffered through the Masterbox releases, Italeri's oldie but goodie, the sublime Tristar kits (to be reboxed by Hobby Boss), and Dragon kits. One of the upgrades I got for the Tristar kits were Adler's Nest Steel Blue Finish MG-13K gun barrels (yes, I also had the Polish sets but these are ALREADY blued). Then, I couldn't find Adler's Nest anywhere until...

I have used the Master Model brass out of Poland for quite a while now. These look to be the same quality. For the blued finish I just put the brass parts in the blackening fluid and let them turn fuzzy black. Then pull them out dry them off (I don't wash them) then rub the parts with a soft paper towel or cloth. Depending on the composition of the brass they turn either blueish black, or brownish black, either of which are acceptable for gun barrel color.

I have used the Master Model brass out of Poland for quite a while now.

I also have Master Model, ABER, Passion Model (of Japan), and others. The reason for this product is having it already blued. As you saw, I bought one of each to see the difference.

Here are some of the company's products I have bought over the years (Wow, what a fortune):

Aber

AFV Club

ModelPoint

Fotocut (OK, this is cast metal)

LionMarc Model Designs and Voyager Model

LionRoar (later to become Great Wall Hobby)

Master

MiniWorld (these are also cast)

Magic Models, ModelPoint, and RB Model

LionMarc Model Design, RB Model, and Griffon Model

Orange Hobby

Schatton

I found this Paul, are you interested? As always, Free. Simply cover postage, there are extras in there. Panzer '46 isn't my thin but I had no choice as to what was sent to me for review. I think I used the antennas (from RB Model) on other kits but it is complete and has other parts. I can post more photos, of the contents, if anyone is interested.
