I'm a Brit living in the Czech Republic and the deviousness of my hosts never ceases to amaze. I just bought half a dozen 1:200, apparently Wiking or Grope, WW2 identification models on a local auction site. Luckily enough, I didn't pay a lot for them, because the boiling-water-wingtip test came came up with fakers' droop in all of them. Shame - if they're imitations. they're good ones, very pretty little items, nicely detailed (I'll try and get some pix to the site if anyone's interested). I'm not enamoured of having imitations in my collection, but I'm [expletive deleted] if I'll ever pass a fraud on in the marketplace. Advice, anyone? Consolation prizes? There's a Ju 87, and FW 190, a battered but cute Wal flying boat and a couple of unidentified monoplanes.
If someone could also give me a step-by-step guide for the truly intellectaully challenged as to how to post pix of them, I'd be grateful for that as well.
Thanks all.
