New parts vendor
Posted: Sat Feb 05, 2011 5:17 pm
I found a new vendor with a good selection of parts that we use.
The hobby shop is located in the Netherlands and the manfacturer of the parts is located in France. I was unable to make contact with the France site, but the hobby shop in the Netherlands worked out just fine.
Here is how I placed an order to the Netherlands shop:
Get a copy of the catalogue at the link below: The catalogue is 46MB
http://www.cap-maquettes-nl.com/United-Kingdom/catalogue_cap.pdf
This is a retailer for Cap-Maquettes parts. This Cap-Maquettes company is located in France. The web site for this company is in French and difficult to understand. There is no current US or Canadian supplier for these products.
The address for the Netherlands supplier is below.
I found an excellent selection of blocks that we use in the catalogue and below is how I ordered some.
1. To place an order find the product you want to order in the catalogue.
2. Send an e-mail to "John van Gent" at Cap-Maquettes in the Netherlands with the part number and description of what you want to order. I also use a screen capture of the items just to be sure
3. John will send you back an e-mail with the following info:
The blocks are not in stock for the numbers you requested but they are already ordered and should arrive at my shop somewhere (early) next week.
The pricing for the blocks:
